It’s time for the counter-revolution revolution
What more proof do you want that they ARE coming after people that do not agree with them and refuse to blindly follow their dictates?!? This includes:
- Scientists
- Professors
- Journalists
- Lawyers
- Protesters
- Public officials
- Government employees
- Wealth creators
- Corporate executives
Yes, I know. There’s been examples of similar attacks on individuals that oppose new administrations in the past. But nothing ever like this frontal attack on individuals, institutions and corporations. Nothing before like these blatant attacks with dictates of the President and selective enforcement – many of them which may be illegal – for the sole purpose of making examples of a particular situation to instill fear in the general population. It is governing – or rather dictating – by fear-mongering. All At once. Chaotic. Without regards to protocol or established law.
All in the name of reversing the progress made in the last 150 years – and accelerating since the 1960’s – towards a more inclusive and equitable society welcoming the country’s increasingly diverse population. (Yep. Advancement in DEI: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, the stuff that Jesus guy kinda talked about. But it seems that is not their Jesus). They are hell-bent on reverting back to the days when political, financial, and institutional power was in the hands of heterosexual (self-proclaimed) Christian White men. (And a time when powerful nation-states could strike smaller nation-states to extract natural resources and expand territory without impunity).
OK. So now we know. Yes, some folks warned us about it. But now we are here.
- Congress is either with him or maneuvering the political winds to secure useful idiots to go along with him.
- The press is timid.
- Corporations are chumming up to him lest they are black listed.
- Academia is increasingly buckling.
- Protesters are scared.
- Faith communities are mostly complicit.
- The military is eerily silent.
- The international community is deathly afraid they’ll be next on his perverse list of enemies.
- There are no heroes coming forward to stand up to him.
- There’s only token, unorganized, leader-less opposition and resistance.
The general population seems to be occupied with the drudgery of daily living, trying to simply survive, competing in the rat race that is consumerism, and all too willingly diverting to the diversion of entertainment and sports.
Diplomacy has been replaced with shouting matches, switching sides, and double-speak where surrender becomes peace a la George Orwell’s 1984.
This is a revolution, no doubt about it. A MAGA Revolution. The USA is transforming before our very eyes – and not for the better.
And we know their end game: An oligarchy one party nation ruled exclusively by and for the benefit of heterosexual self-proclaimed Christian White men.
I was yanked from the country of my childhood because of a revolution. Now in my old age I find myself in a country where this new revolution is destroying the society I’ve devoted my whole adult life to help build.
Call me foolish and idealistic. But I am too old not to speak my mind. I’ve lived too long not to want others to enjoy what I’ve enjoyed. I’ve worked too hard for my children and grandchildren to go back to the 1880’s. I am too mad not to fight back. I will join the counter-revolution, and resist however I can to put this evil “genie” back in the bottle.
