People of good character need to speak up (#3618)

     Silence may be golden at times but at other times it is complicit in atrocity and violence. Knowing when to say something is a value within our society but not at the expense of our society's very survival. That time has come and those who remain quiet while the trumps and republicans lay waste to our democracy are not only wrong in being quiet they are complicit! An accounting will take place when the era of trump is done and those who were quiet and disengaged will be found out. I am not saying anything here that isn't true but I am saying that if you value our democratic society you had better engage now to protect it otherwise your silence and inaction will cost you more than you currently are gambling with your silence.
     Everyone is calculating just how much they feel they need to rock the boat so to speak in order to maintain whatever they are accumulating and protecting. Yet the time has come where calculating and scheming are not enough. We all must put our voices out there to demand that our American institution of equality, fairness and justice be preserved. This truly does affect us all at this moment. No one is safe regardless of income, race or gender. If you had ever thought of yourself as an American patriot willing to sacrifice in order to preserve our nearly 230 year old US Constitution then now is when to use your voice to defend her.
     The facts are clear that this current appointed administration has unduly ruled with an eye toward helping our enemies and alienating our friends. Despite all the other myriad malfeasance and law breaking that has occurred under the helm of conspiratorial republicans and their less than honorable leader, so far we are not mortally wounded as a nation. Yet the time is now when that could all change for the worse unless we citizens of America show our worth and provide that proof to the world who is nervously watching. We do this by making our demand that our government represent us and not some small powerful subgroup and that if not, then the wheels of our society will stop everyday functions and instead focus our attention on crushing what is left of the cruelest self serving appointed president and his cohorts into dust!
