All we have left is an illusion of a great society (#3257)

     Like all things that are well and good we cling to them with all we have. Even to the point of dismissing the authenticity of their questionable veracity. We want things so badly to be well and good that we keep ignoring the crumbling of those very same well and good paradigms. We are in such a dilemma today. We go about our usual business thinking that all is well when in actuality all is not well. Our democracy, that had been so comfortable and safe, is now in danger of being taken from us but many of us refuse to see the evidence of it. They tell us that no one in their right mind would ever destroy us especially ones who are a protector of it. Well that is not a valid argument, it is instead a false narrative.
     As we are seeing with trumps the allegiance they are supposed to have to America has shifted to an allegiance with Russia. The Russian sanctions bill sits on trump's desk for many weeks now and he still does not renew it. He never, and I mean never, criticizes Russia or specifically putin. He has said many times that he has had no business dealings with Russia yet Russian banks have financed him for decades. He calls out our allies for their stance against Russia and is quietly meeting wealthy Russian citizens on his properties during his "vacations". These are all obvious events and are not some conspiracy out of the blue. With trump he has done so many illegal and unprofessional acts that just keeping up with them is a massive chore. Especially his lying. He lies at such a rate that Joseph Goebbels, the hated nazi propagandist war criminal, would be proud of trump if he were still alive.
     But too many of us just go about our business like all is still well and good and nothing is too out of the ordinary for us to care about or even bother to vote for or against. Well I am here to call that illusion out and ready to break the glass of that illusion forever. Our society has been under attack since republicans gained control of our political process. The only ones who are fighting back are the democrats who hold dear our democratic values. The republicans have created this attack on our democracy and although they are fearful of the outcome they do not resist it's eventuality. So they must go and those who are still clinging to the illusion need to wake the hell up and stop playing the ostrich and become the democracy defending patriot they should always have been.
