(#5939) Will American democracy survive the trump self harm until the midterms?

      About 18 months from now will be the next national election here in America. 18 months is around 78 weeks, or 546 days. I know how hard it is to live just one day in the trump reality and it is excruciating. Yet pain is what we voted for through counted majority in 2024. So excruciating or not it must be endured. We can all hope for an intervening act but that is more wishful than real. So buckle up and endure! Then if we are able to survive the audacious and demonstrative nature that trump continues to breathe into life we will only then have a chance to upend him in ways that would nullify most all of his ambitions. Until then it is all we can do to stop his worst visions from becoming our heartache.
     We may well stop his worse visions, but his less worse are still craven and sociopathic. The election of trump is the epitome of self harm. Not only are we harming ourselves we are harming all who would be in association with us. We see now the world is shying away from us because they know we are like an infected patient who will not mask up nor stop spreading our sickness to others. We are fast becoming the pariah that we previously viewed in the cruelest of dictators and strongmen. Those felt no need to protect life if it disagreed with their unnatural impulses.
     However surviving until the next election is no guarantee that we will automatically correct our shameful past election. I have sadly learned that the gullible can continue to be made gullible regardless of the harm that is on their heads. What we need to do is to rally those who are aware of the mistake of trump and then offer them a helping hand to reverse the grave inevitability that will surely follow should we fail in the next midterm. We cannot only count on logic to backstop the trump propaganda. We must speak and show truths that cannot be denied with the terms of fake and hoax. The real pain must be our underlying slogan of response. We must keep ourselves alive in the mess that now threatens our present and future.
