And still, there are kids in cages, sorted by age, sleeping under mylar blankets on a thin mattress, in old warehouses or Wal-Mart, minus any parental supervision, as the overhead lighting, the kind used to keep a large area well lit, and making it impossible to discern daylight from nighttime. And as if it was a normal thing, there is a greater discussion concerning this horrific scenario as to whether or not some passage in some Christian Bible permits the abuse of children or not. And as if it was a normal thing, the Constitution of the United States is set aside, the humane treatment of people ignored, and an imbecile, incapable of revolved around love or compassion, or caring or sympathy or empathy, but more in love with loving himself is acting as King and a God and permitting the abuse of children to continue. Surrounded by his Flying Monkey’s all republican and mostly all Evangelicals, this King, thinks that thuggish behavior, being a bully are the ONLY way to prove a point. Worrying that HIS cult-like base may find another false God to worship, Trump provides his lemmings with just enough bigotry, racism, and Fascism to keep them salivating over his Kool-Ade! And as if this is normal, the only thing happening as more and more families are divided, and more and more kids are kept in cages, is useless rhetoric, centered on, will this hurt me in my re-election, is this what Jesus would do, and it's not my fault. You voted for Trump, you didn’t vote at all, you loved Bernie and no one else, you hated Hillary, you thought all politicians suck, and the result of all of that nonsense, is thousands of humans seeking asylum and a chance for a better life, like the millions of ancestors from families like yours, wanted to come to America!
For anyone who studied history, and took the facts from the past as a lesson for the future, and you wondered how and why Tyrants’/Dictators/and Authoritarian regimes could survive, how they could become normalized, and swore, as you read the accounts of the innocent victims, that you would permit nothing like this to happen in your lifetime, let alone the lifetime of your children…well, guess what, HERE WE GO AGAIN! Everyone involved with the abuse and caging of kids responds with the same chilling words used by the Nazi soldiers and villagers, “I was just following orders!” So far, and I will admit by a very thin slice of rope this nation remains a democracy…and because of that millimeter of a thread of hope, as an American who DOES care, who DOES have compassion, who DOES understand the consequences of acquiescing to a dictator, stop saying “I was just following orders”, and STOP this wholesale slaughter of families. Homeland Security workers, ICE officials, ALL of you are guilty. GOP politicians silently obeying a madman’s machinations you are guilty, clergy who pray for families but do nothing else but pray, you are guilty. Evil moves swiftly and is stealth, but goodness has superpowers, when they are desired and when they become a priority. THIS IS NOT NORMAL, kids caged as if they were in a slaughterhouse!
