The Raveling of the Hem of America

 Ironically during the Covid sequestering, when air travel was limited, the ozone hole over the South Pole almost healed itself.  When the quarantine was lifted, and the world was declared safe to resume a convalescent recovery, the checks and balances of the democratic system were weakened.  From the pulpit of his Presidency, Donald Trump limited federal regulation and oversight.  What does this mean?  It is easiest to cast Fayettenam as a metaphor.  Environmental protections always have been important in assuring the quality of life of America citizens penned in the United States Constitution.  During his Presidency the nature and purpose of our declaration of rights has come into question.  In addition to a physical and violent insurrection on the United States Capital, when they were attempting to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election, the philosophy of America postulated in the Constitution has come under attack. Two substantial, tangible, and legal attacks are enough to convict an entity of treason.  For treason should Donald Trump be held accountable.  It makes no matter that he is a silver-tongued sloth, and seasoned cult leader, and a sociopath.  The courts will find him guilty of his crimes, and criminal trials will exclude him for running for reelection.  Until then it is hedge, hedge, hedge.  As a nation we do not care what his deranged mind aspires to accomplish in his new fascist regime.  If we are banking on America empowering a communist upheaval, it would contradict the essence of American Way.  If you desire authoritarianism, feel free to immigrate to Moscow.  Incarceration, poison, or death will be the result of your resistance.  In America we are free to speak our minds, but organizing a second revolution will take more than the fanatical posturing of the anachronistic Ku Klux Klan.  Historically lynching sent a gruesome message, but as a matured and intelligent nation, hopefully we have moved past that probable propaganda.  Constitutional peace still is possible.
