American Fascism

Of all current events perhaps the celebratory parade in Washington, DC this past Saturday is deserving of reflection.  Like many other wholesome American traditions, the parade grossly has been tainted by murderous violence.  What once was a joyous and very American experience of community and celebration now is reduced to a vehicle for insane extremists and would be dictators.  The devolution of America is unfolding before our eyes, and it couldn't be more disconcerting.  One only has to look at other once Third World nations to see the model.  Hugo Chavez.  Muammar Gaddafi.  Saddam Hussein.  Vladimir Putin.  In a gross homage to the two hundredth and fiftieth anniversary of the United States Army, the parade lacked any semblance to a joyful patriotic celebration.  With no floats, marching bands, horses, or twirling batons, the eerie squeak of an Abrahms tank track was more reminiscent of a Nazi invasion of American soil.  Upon reflection that is what it felt like.  Covid all ready has dealt a huge blow to Americana, traditional America cultural practices that make citizens proud and engage them solidarity.  Instead the misery of Fascism is upon us limping weakly along like Jim Crow Junior.  Racial prejudice, extremism, and oppression have crept into American society through the illegal drug trafficking of Vape shops, violent messages in video games, and propaganda in social media.  If only the creepy memory of this parade will fade away.  Out of left field a strike on Iran, the pinnacle of what to avoid at all cost concerning foreign policy.  Barack Obama had a nuclear treaty in place to stop Iran from enriching Uranium.  Upon election Donald Trump immediately withdrew us from this treaty.  The ultimate and guaranteed result of an American strike on Iran will be a dramatic and stark increase in the price of gasoline.  That would be the sole purpose of this strike, and it is a grievous mistake.  The first Heat Dome of this summer is settling over the nation, and it is man made.  Those responsible continue unabashedly creating havoc, fear, and trepidation in America.
