We have previously commented on the provenance of modern religious belief, opining upon its advent as the worship of the Gods deemed responsible for Man’s seasons. We stated that certain prescribed rituals performed with the evergreen trees, which, unlike other flora, were observed to magically survive the cold winter, faithfully for a few months, restored life to the “Sun God.” concomitant with the revitalized flora and fauna. We were bold enough to opine that early rituals, involving such natural phenomena, were doubtlessly responsible for the advent of religious belief in death and resurrection.
We choose to maintain an analogous dynamic relevant to the present governmental dystopia and its threats to American constitutional democracy. Man’s long enjoyment of the unfettered franchise for personal development and fulfillment is inarguably “Evergreen,” i.e., never withered or wilted. The existential desire for freedom of expression and action, once experienced, is systemic and everlasting.
The cold and forbidding ambiance of neo-authoritarianism of the present Trump-MAGA administration, analogous to the temporally forbidding cold of the Winter Season, will, in due course, be fully resurrected to the traditional American freedom and way of life, with the analogous certainty to Man’s expectation of the natural changes brought about by the fixed orbit of our Planet around the Sun.
Having historically tasted its empirically sweet and emancipating joy, we are supremely confident that the entire Nation will, in short order, adamantly express its preference for the assured liberty implicit in the American Constitutional way of life. The American citizens’ desire for freedom is experiential, perennial, and eternally “Evergreen.”
