Massive Apathy and Chosen Ignorance: Is America Worth Saving?
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
America’s economic future is no longer founded on a
capitalistic society. I applaud this because capitalism is the reason for the enormous
gap in income inequality. However, capitalism is far less destructive to our
nation’s future than what is happening in the 21st century.
In the mid-1980’s, Reagan and his submissive administration abandoned
the American people and began their support for Special Interests, also known
as the super-rich, and our country’s most prosperous corporations. Massive tax
cuts, the destruction of unions, and a war on the working class exposed the
real Ronald Reagan. He had made a fool of millions of Americans, including
yours truly. His fiscal policy of “trickle-down economics was a thinly veiled
plan to increase the wealth of the super-rich. This doomed to fail policy began
a decline in the quality of life for the majority.
More than 40 years later, America has become a
plutocracy/oligarchy; rule by the wealthy. Our nation's 989 billionaires have
complete control over America’s future. Today’s Republicans in name only have
been bought and paid for several times. A more important fact is that a
plutocracy cannot exist within a democratic and free society. It is imperative
that a plutocracy’s existence is served by a government which is controlled by
a fascist regime.
Every American voter is a threat to the existence of a
plutocracy. Therefore, free and fair elections must be eliminated. They’re
getting very close to accomplishing their goals.
I WAS A PATIENT MAN WHO BELIEVED IN THE COURAGE AND
PATRIOISM OF OUR NATION’S PEOPLE
There was a pattern over my 80 years as a loyal and proud
American. I believed that when our nation was under attack from anyone, any nation
or organization threatening our nation’s future, we would unite as members of
the “United States” and crush those who would destroy the dream of our Founding
Fathers. Today, I realize that I was naive and overestimated the intelligence
and courage of millions of our nation’s people.
[Sep 3, 2015 — "I have signed the pledge," Trump
said, adding that he intends to win the nomination himself and face whoever the
Democrats nominate.]
This statement from a failed businessman, a sexual predator,
and a lifetime criminal, began the demise of the United States of America. Who
knew? Donald John Trump was America’s “Anti-Christ.”
I knew the real Donald Trump. I was shocked and appalled
when I learned that the least qualified, least patriotic man in America had the
support of tens-of-millions of American citizens, and one of our two political parties. What the f**k?
Our country had experienced eight years of growth and
forward movement during the Barack Obama administration, and Trump was clearly
a regressive who supported racism, bigotry, and the end of democracy in
America.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER THE 2026 MIDTERM ELECTION?
I fear for my nation’s future. However, at the age of 80,
the aftermath of the November 3rd election will affect me less than a family of
four, with a father and mother in their 40’s, and children in their teens. The average
age of all Americans is just under 40 years of age. These are our nation’s
citizens who will quickly learn that they are slaves who are required to serve
Trump and his Nazi supporters if Trump retains control of all three branches of
government.
UNINFORMED AND INDIFFERENT
Over the last two years, only Americans who choose to be
ignorant, or simply don’t care about our country’s future, cast their votes for
a man or woman with an “R” next to their name Any vote for a Republican is a
vote for Trumpenstein and his anti-American agenda.
Trump and Putin designed a plan to create a second Civil
War, making brothers, fathers and sons enemies.
"A house divided
against itself cannot stand." Abraham Lincoln
“If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author
and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by
suicide." Abraham Lincoln
Trump is the fulcrum: There is no grey area. Every American
either loves or hates him. I am a member of the latter.
A LARGE PART OF MY LIFE HAS BEEN FOCUSED ON THE FUTURE OF MY
COUNTRY
Born in 1946, I am an original baby boomer. I was raised in
an atmosphere of patriotism, extremely proud to be an American.
This is the reason why I hate and despise Donald John Trump.
He is openly destroying the nation of our Founding Fathers piece by piece.
Trump has been an asset for Vladimir Putin since 1987. It became
his duty to destroy the United States from within when he was illegally inaugurated
on January 20, 2017.
When Trump and Moscow Mitch McConnell stacked the Supreme
Court with three, additional right-wing extremists, Neil Gorsuch, Brett
Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett, who promised to repeal Roe v Wade and prevent
Trump from being prosecuted for his most egregious crimes, Trump instantly
became a fascist dictator. The law means nothing to him, because it does not
apply to him. America has become a nation without the rule of law.
When a federal judge orders Trump to cease his
unconstitutional actions, he laughs. The orange buffoon will never receive punishment
for his treason against the people of our nation.
REMOVE HIS POWER, AND THE OLD MAN WILL RETURN TO BEING
INSIGNIFICANT
The November 3rd election is critical. If the
legislative branch is controlled by Democrats and Independents, most of Trump’s
powers will become null and void.
Save America. Vote for the removal of all fake Republicans
from our federal government. You will be voting for yourself and the future of
everyone you love.
