If I Am Totally Truthful, and I Always Am¸ No One Knows What Will Happen After the Historical Midterm Elections
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
Everyone in Washington is pretending that our government
will continue to function normally. Republicans are pissing their pants, while
Democrats are acting as if this was a victory for their party. I see it
differently.
I am one of millions of Americans who have no faith in our
government, Republicans and Democrats alike. I don’t trust anyone who has the
power to control my life. Incompetence and corruption have consumed those who
serve in all three branches of our government for at least 10 years.
The men and women who worked hard to win their elections on
November 3rd were not only protesting Trump’s fascist agenda, but
how our entire government has failed to place us, the people, ahead of their
own agendas and the profits of corporations and the super-rich. Not all of these
newcomers are Democrats. Some are Democratic Socialists, others are more
extreme, and a few support the beliefs of the O. G. like Chuck Schumer and
others who have held office for far too long.
Will Rogers, the American humorist and actor, said: "I
am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat".
ON JANUARY 3, 2027, AMERICA WILL BE REBORN
Like a newborn, dozens of men and women will embark upon a
journey. They have no experience and no direct knowledge about what really
happens on Capitol Hill. From what I have learned over the last 15 years, it is
a very ugly place, nothing like it appears on television.
Fact: America entered into the 21st century led
by the second worst president in history. The 2000 general election remains the
most controversial and contested in America’s history. The Florida Supreme
Court abused its powers and gifted George W. Bush the presidency.
The 120th Congress will experience the unknown.
Personally, I find this exciting.
A CHANCE TO GET IT RIGHT
The government established by our Founding Fathers in 1789
no longer functions as intended. One of the biggest mistakes made at the first
Constitutional Convention was not establishing term limits for all elected
officials and the members of the Supreme Court of the United States. “Power
corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
I WILL CONTINUE TO CELEBRATE THE DEFEAT OF OUR COUNTRY’S
WORST AND MOST DISPICABLE PRESIDENT
Hate is a self-destructive emotion. I have struggled to
prevent hate from becoming a part of my life. However, when Trump became our
nation’s illegitimate president, hate entered into my daily thoughts.
As an original baby boomer, my personal feelings of
patriotism were strong and unflappable. As Trump began to destroy my country, I
became angry and that dark emotion advanced until I realized that I hated
Donald John Trump.
I would be offering you a false statement if I denied the
fact that remaining alive long enough to see the end of the Trump era, I would
be lying. With Trump and his fascist party in control of our nation’s future, I
witnessed the darkest day in our nation’s history, January 6, 2021, when a
sitting president committed treason with the intent of overthrowing the
certification of the Electoral College after the 2020 Election. When it was
revealed that Trump violated the Espionage Act on January 20, 2021 when he
stole about 14 boxes of national secrets. I have watched Trump intentionally
divide our nation’s people. He virtually repealed the First, Fourth, Fifth,
Sixth, 10th, and 14th Amendments. He adds a new
Constitutional violation with every passing day.
To see our nation’s greatest traitor nearly powerless is a
victory for every true American.
THE POSSIBILITY OF ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE 120TH CONGRESS
ARE ENDLESS
Among the many actions taken by a new and energized Congress
will undoubtedly include impeachment, defunding ICE, Trump’s war against Iran,
his ludicrous ballroom, a monument to himself, a 250 foot arch, and begin
endless investigations into the illegal actions of his administration and
party.
Many of these cases will be adjudicated long after Trump is
forced to retire to Mar-a-Lago, the only place in our country which will accept
him.
Celebrate the men and women who worked hard to save America,
most of them without the support of Democratic leadership.
The results of the 2026 election are a victory for our
nation’s people, not for a political party.
