As loyal and concerned American citizens, we are heartened and encouraged by the copious number of huge citizen demonstrations of opposition to the Trumpian-Fascistic pandemic, toxicly infecting our precious and uniquely humanistic body politic. Ardent opposition to authoritarian governance is irrefutably demonstrated by the spontaneous and outrageous reaction to the dystopic outrageous policies and actions of the egomaniacal neurotic, Donald Trump, and his compliant menagerie of freak-show Cabinet Ministers. Any conceivable doubt about the protestors’ ardency and sincerity is empirically dispelled by the televised view of the many thousands of Minnesotans demonstrating in sub-zero temperatures.
We applaud spontaneous expressions of patriotism for democracy and opposition to the developing autocracy under Trump and deem them of existential importance to the restoration and endurance of America’s historically venerated Democratic Republic.
Yet, contextually, we would responsibly urge the simultaneous opposition to autocracy on an internally resolute basis. An autocratic seedling cannot take root and grow in resistant environmental conditions, and internally principled resistance to the noxious weed is vital to its necessary withering and non- invasiveness. It would be ultimately tragic to ignore or facilely accept or haplessly adapt to the democratically debilitating toxicity of this politically lethal disease, whose predictable etiology is to sicken the body politic with its insalubrious deprival of natural liberty and freedom of action. A totalitarian polity cannot empirically exist without a compliant population.
The ultimate guard rails of our precious Democratic Republic is the systemic existence of individual freedoms; matters to be internally established and, when appropriate, publicly expressed. No mainstream citizen is responsibly exempt from its assertion, publicly as well as its fundamental assertion, as preventative internal medicine.
