If You Call Yourself an American, How Could You Vote For Trump?

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

Any American citizen who watched the horrific events on January 6, 2021, and is honest with themselves, is fully aware that Trump committed treason. He planned and organized the insurrection at the Willard Hotel in D.C., and executed the violent attacks while standing just outside of the White House. In any other nation in the world, he would have been executed on that very day. Another “only in America.” Our laws have never applied to the rich and the powerful.

I will never stop thinking about those three hours for as long as I live.

A CORRUPT SUPREME COURT ALLOWED TRUMP TO BECOME A DICTATOR

Six corrupt Supreme Court justices granted Trump total immunity, giving him powers rejected by our Founding Fathers. Trump will also never be punished for violating the Espionage Act when he illegally removed a large number of national secrets from his former temporary residence on January 20, 2021. The highest Court in the land recreated America on that day, making it a nation without laws or justice and paving the way for dictatorship.

FOX INTENTIONALLY DIVIDED OUR NATION WITH LIES ABOUT JANUARY 6

I watched all three hours of the darkest day in American history. If you did not, and believed the heavily edited pieces of video tape offered by Fox News, you do not know the truth, and our corrupt government will prevent anyone from seeing the violence as it happened. They will always protect themselves.

For three hours our military leaders sat on their fat asses in the Pentagon and did nothing while our nation was under attack by approximately 2,500 Neo-Nazis. Were they afraid that they might lose another war? Are they cowards? Or do they support the establishment of a fascist regime?

Fox has been the right-wing’s propaganda machine for the last 40 years, and is the prime reason our nation is in disarray and chaos.

ALTHOUGH IT’S BASELESS, THE “BIG LIE” LIVES ON

Trump and his fascist supporters continue their attempts to mislead every American who did not see the attempted coup on January 6 as it happened. I find the mainstream television media complicit with Trump with their failure to rebroadcast the entire violent insurrection without any form of censorship.

Although every court in the land, including Trump’s stacked Supreme Court rejected every petition demanding confirmation that the 2020 election was fraudulent, or rigged, Trump continues to repeat his biggest lie.

Estimates are that over the last 10 years, Trump told more than 100,000 lies in front of the television cameras or on social media, in the middle of the night, while he sat on a toilet.

WHY AMERICA’S GOVERNMENT IS DYSFUNCTIONAL, CORRUPT, AND UNWORTHY OF OUR VOTES

Every man and woman working in the White House and on Capitol Hill is a public servant. They are required to work for us, and serve at our pleasure.

However, without term limits and comprehensive oversite, today’s incompetent men and women in all three branches of government believe they have the right to rule over us.

Although Trump is the epitome of government gone bad, not one of the 546 most powerful individuals in Washington are performing their jobs as intended by our Founding Fathers. That includes the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the President and Vice-President.

AMERICA CANNOT BE REPAIRED, IT MUST BE REBUILT

January 6 was the greatest disaster in world history. That dark day is the rason for what is happening in our government today, and is making our planet more dangerous, and destroying the world’s economy.

There should be a banner across the White House, the Capitol Building, and the Supreme Court containing a single word: “Incompetence.”

If America is to survive, some changes must be made immediately. First and foremost, term limits must be applied to all three branches of our government. The Electoral College must be repealed. Every vote should count, and the people, not the states, should decide who will lead them for the next four years. All restrictions on voting rights must be eliminated at the federal and state level. Every possible effort must be made to encourage a 100 percent turnout of all eligible voters in every election. Secrecy, under the guise of “for reasons of national security,” must end immediately. This nation belongs to the people, not to those we elect. We, the people, have the right to know the complete truth about everything which happens in our nation’s capital. No one in our government must be allowed to declare wars or invade any sovereign nation without the approval and consent of the American people.

Public opinion must have value. We, the people, continue to suffer from the many unwise and even moronic decisions made by our government, and that must end immediately. “Liberty and justice for all” must mean something and no longer be nothing but hollow words.

Trust and respect must be earned, never given easily to those who ask for it, and never to those who demand it.
