It has been barely one week since Donald J. Trump has returned to the Oval Office, yet traditional, mainstream Americans have already found themselves in a state of dread that our precious “Republican Democracy” is slated to experience the proverbial, “death of one thousand cuts”
The aggressive, heartless wielder of the aggressive and disfiguring machete is an egocentrically neurotic and tyrannical, psychopath, whose personal ideation of imperial grandeur outweighs any conceivable scintella of humanistic or moral principle. Such “wanna-be” Monarchwas, installed by the Nation’s copious horde of ill-informed voters, has pathologically and gleefully, plunged into the deep quagmire of an atavistic and malodorous swamp of tyrannical governance. We are candidly obliged to confess an equal error.
In the first days of his monomaniacal rule, the orange hazmat has lost no time in chilling the traditional expectations of the Nation ‘s progress toward universal liberty, equality, and humanistic polity by his reprising his previou articulated intentions to eliminate programs of assistance to the needy, promotion equality of opportunity for all Americans, of every diversity; his summary discharge of officials taxed with beneficial oversight of governmental propriety, the discharge of non-MAGA federal employees, reduction including withdrawal of the Nation from the salubrious Paris Accords as part of his denigration of programs of environmental protection, human health and welfare, pardoning hundreds of violent insurrectionists who, invitation, based upo Trump’s false, propagandist assertion that the earlier presidential election was “stolen,” his disavowal of the sanctity of the U.S. Constitution, together with its grant of rights and imposition of governmental restraints, restoral of his pathologically draconian policies regarding immigration, misuse of the Executive Office in illegally and irresponsibly garnering for himself and his immediate family, ill-gotten enormous wealth, and in stereotypically Nazi fashion, appointing to Cabinet positions, incapable, but reliably complisant sycophants and willing agents of his program to wreak retribution on his political opponents.
It was the identical electorate that put in place a uniformly inept, but Trump loyalist, .conglomerate of legislative officials and ultimately responsible for an unprecedented and historically shocking corrupt Supreme Court. The hapless American Nation is nightmarishly in anticipation of its reeling far off-course with no appropriate compass or effective guard rails. We too are admittedly disquieted and fearful anticipation concerning our Ship of State’s voyage in the next four years.
It is of existential importance that American citizens of goodwill and salutary purpose, fully recognize the dangerous quagmire of the Nation’s foreseeable topography and relentlessly maintain and uphold, by words and actions, the traditionally appropriate democrastic ideals of the Nation’s mantras of “E Pluribus Unum,” ” Liberty and Equality for All, ” “One man, one Vote,” and “Government by and for the People.” We can not let the possible reactions of lassitude, denial of reality, or hapless resignation be our responsive reaction. The recognition of the extant hazard to the State of the Union must, be met with the empirical recognition of its presently imposed impediments, salubrious hope, and dedicated actions for its full restoration,
We are somewhat dismayed at the haplessly repeated complaints in the acceptable liberal media,”This is not who we are.” Pragmatically, it must be realized that this, realistically and unfortunately “is” who we now are, We would find more appropriate and useful the statement,” This is what we are now, and what we should do about it.”
