The Second American Civil War

 I'm not sure how our American reality morphed into a television show.  Perhaps it is because the mission of Japanese programmers was to obscure the line between fiction and reality.  Video games became so real, it is difficult to discern the difference.  I am positive this has contributed to mass shootings in North America.  Most of the reality of life in America, the Conditions of America, have become obscured.  Decades of human struggle and triumph quietly have been filed in the archives for later retrieval.  It is the responsibility of the Democratic Party to make sure this happens.  It only could be four years, four of the most tumultuous years in recent American history.  It could be more.  The electing of Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. to the United States Presidency will decide.  If we elect him by an overwhelming majority in November, then it is possible we will be spared more Trump torment.  Democrats must vote in this election, and they must vote for Biden.  It is symbolic.  It is not a vote for Sleepy Joe.  It is a vote to salvage our democracy.  It is a vote to restore Christianity to America.  A vote for Joe isn't necessarily a vote for Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, and Chuck Schumer.  It is a vote for an invigorated, youthful, determined contingency who value integrity, respect, and intellect as qualifications for leadership.  We know Trump's values.  If you wanted a first lady other than someone who would make you feel good at your tea party, if you wanted a first lady who could offer scholarly advice to our President, and if you wanted a woman of the stature of Michelle Obama, the Jill Biden would be your choice,  What better choice could there be?  She has earned a Phd in education.  How many past presidents have tried to salvage public education in America?  It has not succeeded, because no politicians have wanted it to succeed.  It was planned for public education to fail from lack of funding.  They want our children to be stupid.  There is no better candidate to be the wife of a President than someone with a Phd in teaching.  Period.  Education may be the most important thing lost in America in recent years.  I'm sure it is.  The process of teaching and learning and its importance in human life is irreplaceable, but it has been replaced.  We have nothing.  We are an addicted herd of followers, and that for what Donald Trump pines.  I do not want to hear anymore any of his lunatic rhetoric.  I can't believe we are hearing and readings this absurd authoritarian propaganda.  "We deserve another term.  I will not peacefully leave the office of the President.  I dispute the election results."  All of these statements are classic examples of Authoritarianism.  Trump is trying to commandeer control America and consequently we Americans.  The problem is his cult followers have signed on for the ride.  They want it.  They want Communism.  The Cold War has erupted again, and it is raging within the continental United States.  It has been for a long time, because the extremism has come from within.  We did not fathom our elected officials would be the culprits.  There was so much smoke from our own domestic terrorists.  School shootings.  Church shootings.  Movie theater shootings.  All of this was  happening while Mitch McConnell and his gang firmly took control of Washington.  These weak, spineless, impotent, white men currently control Washington.  I ask myself who would be responsible for removing Trump from the White House if he refused to vacate?  The answer should be the Attorney General, but William Barr is his traitor compatriot.  Trump wants to implement quid pro quo.  By giving a woman a Supreme Court Judgeship, he in turn expects her to give him the Presidency.  Wow!  Now we know why the book was called, "The Art of the Deal."  America casually seems to tolerate his dementia.  We offer a tepid patronizing of his senility like it is funny.  They have killed two hundred thousand people, so technically Covid 19 will be the first American war fought on our native soil.  Still his followers laugh.  They laugh as they end up in the ICU.  They laugh as they pass this disease on to our loved ones.  They laugh as police officers continue to kill black men.  Truly a new Civil War is emerging in our lifetime.  Damn.
