Another short rant. It should be no surprise if you’ve read any of the posts I’ve written in the past 10 or so years that I would agree with Trump that America has an “enemy within.” And, it’s him! He is destroying our country along with his Project 2025 Puppet masters. The right wing proponents of this fascist takeover of the United States of America have been “at it” since the early 1970’s. They are much more sophisticated than the democrats who are the “big tent” party and believe in following the laws and the constitution. Republicans consider that the democrats fatal weakness!
Those behind Trump simply want more POWER and more MONEY. The key to their success since Trump came down the escalator in 2015 has been the three right wing members of the Supreme Court who are rapidly putting a torch to our constitution – under the guise of being “originalists.” Well, I suppose the constitution “originated” back when African Americans were 3/5ths of a person. Do they want to turn the clock back that far? They are the “glue” which has helped “secure” the government/corporate partnership that is a requirement of a fascist takeover. We’re seeing one large corporation after another succumbing to Trump’s (and, of course, Project 2025) using the courts to bring them “in line.” Google is the latest to fall in line – today agreeing to give Trump over 24 MILLION dollars in order to gain government favor re: anti-trust issue.
I’ve said it now several times that “we the people” are unlikely to survive the remaining years of Trump 2.0 as a democratic republic. Today, Trump and Hegseth gathered ALL of America’s military leaders in an auditorium so they could lecture them for an hour – Generals and their staffs coming from thousands of miles away – to listen to Trump talk about the “enemy within” and then telling these military leaders to prepare to send their troops into American cities. Trump is doing this already. We still have (kind of) a constitution and the “enemy within” can not be defined any other way than it is TRUMP! Yikes!!! Stay tuned!
Final Thought: Once again, when Hegseth or other members of Trump’s administration use the term “woke” simply substitute the word “Black” in it’s place and you will understand what they mean. Of course you should also think of women and members of the LGBTQ community. Or should I simply say anyone who is not white. For me, someone who has received the benefits of being white in my lifetime this is the part that grieves me the most. I know MANY members of the various communities that are the targets of these right wing fascists and it really angers me that “we the people” voted in an administration attempting to roll back some of the great advancements I’ve seen in my lifetime. I’m physically limited, but I’ll be at the next “No Kings” protest. It’s time for Americans to pour onto the streets in an effort to save our republic!
