There are still far too many fascists in government, thus our democracy is still at stake.
Many of us continue to fail to see that we are still under attack from our government from within. Yes, Trump is out of office, and we have taken the Senate by the slimmest of margins, but we have so much more work to do. We've all seen the insurrection in our government on January 6th, from those some of whom traveled thousands of miles to get to Washington DC. I believe so many more who are paid by our tax dollars, (Lawmakers in Congress) continue to stand with the insurrectionist, with full knowledge and belief that President Biden won the election.
Our standing in the world as a beacon for democracy will surely be diminished unless all those who oppose democracy are quickly rooted out and removed from government office. We are at the crossroads of fascism and democracy, and we came so close to fascism being consolidated. Meaning that we came too close to Trump having a successful coup. It is time, (correction) it's well past time for our elected officials to decide if they want to be moral and uphold the will of the voters and democracy. It sometimes feels as though they don't know or care that lives were lost in the recent act of insurrection and sedition.
When I first thought about writing this article, my concern surrounded so many government leaders like Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Josh Hawley and others who seem to prefer fascism. We quickly learn that fascism has rooted itself in many other positions of power. Why were so many police officers seemingly participating in the riot? Yes we know that there is an ongoing investigation as we proceed to convict Trump in his senate trial. But we need answers for those "high fiving" and taking selfies with the rioters, while other officers are rushed to the hospital. Trump wanted to charge "Black Lives Matter" protesters with sedition, which I believe carries a twenty year sentence, how many lawmakers will now stand up for "Law and Order"?
We are all looking at our lawmakers, Democracy vs Fascism or maybe more correctly Democracy vs White Nationalism/White Supremacy. Which will they choose?
Now that we're on the eve of Trump's second trail after a second impeachment, now is the time to take a stand for democracy. Please take note whether or not your state senator truly believes and wants democracy or fascism. Trump must be held accountable for his crimes, just as you and I would be. No one is above the Law!
