How far are we willing to go before we decide that we will not let a criminal do everything to destroy our society so that he can control us? How far? That trump knows he can defy the law while he has political power and political cover is obvious. So how far are we willing to let him flaunt our laws to his advantage? Other than showing up to vote him and his accomplices out of office what else are we prepared to do? How far are we willing to go to stop the madness that is trump and his delusions? Our civility is our greatest weakness at the moment even though in normal times it is one of our greatest strengths. So what are we willing to do about that?
It seems to me that fighting on the same level with our opponent who will not engage us on ours is what is left for us to consider. We cannot stay on the high road of honor if there is no road left for us to travel. The republicans and trump specifically are trying to take all of that which our society is woven together with from us. He cannot take our will however much he tries if we are willing to fight him on his on turf. Because he will not fight us on our turf. He knows he will lose so playing dirty, lying, cheating and stealing is his battleground. Well I for one am done trying to convince trump and his followers that civilized behavior demands that we use logic and common sense. They have found another path of chaos and brutality that while they have power seems to work for them.
So the test of our democracy is how willing are we the defenders of democracy willing to do whatever it takes to stop the destruction of our democratic nation? Pause for a moment and consider that the conventional defenses against the lying, cheating and stealing republican party are not effective. So what else must we do to stand up to the bullies who would be kings? I will not mention any options for us to consider here but in your own minds let all options be mulled. I have my honor and principles for living to fall back on but to protect the actual life of them there is nothing off the table as a recourse to not being.
