In order to give this article
perspective, I copied a post so you can draw you own conclusions. The first
part is a liberal’s analysis. The second is mine.
Here's an interesting thought
experiment. Think of a hypothetical country where the President who was up for
reelection systematically called the electoral system into question before the
election (even though his party was in power), then lost the election, then
stepped up the rhetoric about a "stolen" election, called his
supporters to the capitol to stage a protest, encouraged them to fight to
reclaim "their" country, and then when that group of supporters
stormed the location where the election was being certified neglected to call
out appropriate law enforcement to quell the mob, and after the protest was
quelled he told the mob he loved them, but go home. Now, imagine that country
is Russia, or Venezuela. Would ANY Republican in the USA say that was ok?? I
don't think so. I'm pretty sure 95% of Americans would see that as the strong
arm tactics of a dictator. So is that OK in the US?? Let me help you with the
answer. NO. NOT EVER.
Imagine a country where a man decides
to run for president and from day one, the media hates him. They spend day
after day, attacking him and his family for any and every infraction they can
fabricate. Imagine running against a two-party system that deems you a threat
to their entrenched power, positions and wealth. Imagine that man knocking off
opponents one after the other who are quote, “professional politicians” and
have no clue on how to stop his momentum. Imagine that man winning the
presidency despite the massive uphill climb the entire way and then keeping his
promises: America first, good trade deals, strong military, booming economy,
securing borders, actually enforcing immigration laws, removing strangling
regulations and keeping the environment first and foremost. Image recording the
lowest unemployment numbers for all races across the board to the point, there
were more jobs than people to fill them. And yet, the media and elected
officials spend their days trying to bring him down at every turn. The
accomplishments mean nothing to them for their power structure is at stake and
they feel threatened. Then imagine a day when racial tensions explode across
the country and those who were voted in to keep their constituents safe turned
a blind eye in the name of politics and power and did nothing to stop it. In
fact, many encouraged the behavior just as they did eighty-three years ago.
Instead of going after a race, they went after one man and his supporters. They
deemed them, along with the media, enemies of the state and they were
responsible for all the ills in the country and their own short comings. Back
then they called it Kristallnacht, today it’s hidden in the disguise of
BLM/ANTIFA aka, racial justice. While the names are different, the tactics are
the same: burn, riot, loot, attack kill and injure those they deem different,
all in the name of peace and the cloak of unity and justice. All the while the
media and politicians not only support it but encourage it on a day-to-day
basis. But for whom?
Imagine this happening in the bastion
of democracy. Imagine a country where the media has become a tool for a
political party. Think Pravda, Der Zeitung, Beijing Daily and others. Imagine a
country where free speech is being suppressed because a percentage of the
populace doesn’t agree with it and continues to condemn those with a difference
of opinion. Countries that ascribed to those theories created, the killing
fields, concentration camps and gulags, all for the greater good of the state.
They became masters at turning neighbor against neighbor and even children
turning against parents and siblings, all in the name of the state.
Imagine
a country, that despite its faults, strives to improve and grow, acknowledging
its shortcomings and failings yet moving forward by learning from the past for
a better future. Now imagine a sect doing its best to eliminate its past by
apologizing for being the beacon of democracy and all it has achieved in a
short two hundred and forty-five years. Now imagine the words “of the people,
by the people and for the people” being eliminated and you begin to understand
what is going on in the Beltway. History has proven that those in power whether
it was Greece, Turkey, Rome, Germany, Czarist Russia, USSR, North Korea or Red
China will not go down without a fight or convince themselves that since they
are the ruling class no one would dare challenge their power and authority for
after all, they are the ruling class, in their own minds, and are convinced
they know what’s best for their subjects. And for those who aren’t convinced,
they use the army to drive their point home and protect themselves from their own
populace. If you can imagine any of the
above, then you can see those events are happening here.
