I’m officially worried about the future of my country.
I thought, at first, that it would be a blip. A handful of bad actors had finally gathered enough power and momentum to wreck some of the fundamental systems of the nation. They were doing it for financial and ideological purposes. They wanted to increase their wealth and power while restoring their idea of a nation that was fundamentally white first. Then I watched how quickly they moved and how quickly the rest of the country capitulated to the actions. That is when I got really scared.
Let me be clear: The America I saw being created over the last 50 years is dead. What we are witnessing now is a dramatic shift in nature that can nor will be undone in my lifetime. This new America is one where I don’t know I will have a place in as a first class citizen. The very idea of citizenship with different classes is one first put in my psyche by the Lady Talis, and based on what I’ve read and observed, she is right. We are letting the worst of us lead and as they are doing so at a nearly 50% approval rating, the hits will keep on coming. We will not survive this as a recognizable nation. This is not hyperbole. This is a trending fact.
The Justice Department just cut half a billion dollars, practically all of their funding allotment to Public Safety Grants. Why? To save money, though for what purpose they have not explained. The sad reality behind these cuts is that they will make the streets more dangerous. They will help push us towards that level of violence in the streets that Fox news has long betrayed as reality but has always been false and at the most, exaggerated.
My opinion on these things is straight forward: This is a power group that maintains control through fear, so they must create the conditions to instill fear. The media is not enough. They need real incidents to use to bolster their agenda.
I’m out of time, so I’ll say more moving forward, but the key is that I will say more. Things need to be said publicly. People need to see what is happening if we are to have any shot of stopping it.
It is almost too late.
