YOU and I

So let's pretend that in the near future, books have not been burned, and historians are not suddenly found dangling from sudden suicides, by hanging, or healthy journalists find themselves with cardiac arrest or some stomach ailment induced by a small portion of Putin poison. So lets pretend that enough Republican’s decide that being a Putin pawn or puppet for fear of being PRIMARIED, step forward, finding a backbone, still searching for their balls, and truth is no longer debated, and alternative universes where facts are described as “Deep State,” attempts at a coup no longer exist. Let’s pretend that once again the Bernie or Bust, or now the ever-present game of AOC says, align with the entire Democrat Party to fight against Trump instead of one another. Let's pretend, real journalists, not Talking Heads, nor the News-Entertainers truly grasp the seriousness of Fascism wrapped in a Christian Theocracy, and ask real questions without the glitz of glamour of a soundtrack in minor chords or the red flashing banners of Breaking News, act as a prelude to the seriousness of our lives.

What will YOU and I say, as during our watch on the world, kids in Concentration Camps were left to rot, Families left separated because no one really kept a record, and the newest of Nazi trickery, moving groups of Immigrant Women from one detention center to some anonymous top-secret space took place! How will YOU and I describe a Vichy styled government, led by the shadowy presence of Rudy Giuliani whose mental capabilities are only on the decline, and men like Mick Mulvaney, Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo, and Mitch McConnell collude with a Foreign Enemy in hopes of both launderings millions of dollars and infecting our judicial system with Ultra Conservative Judges, many deemed by their own Bar Association to be inept and inadequate!

In real-time, with flashes of a spoiled brat throwing a temper tantrum, a narcissist sociopath liar, deciding what IS good and what is bad, always choosing the bad, we are witness to crimes against not only this nation but to humanity. If and when our present world finally is clear of danger and disaster and the demise of democracy and our Republic is no longer being gutted by gutless politicians it is time to face the wreckage and ruin…what exactly will we say…”I was just following orders…I had no idea any of this was happening because even though I was right next to it, I could not smell it, see it or hear it…Let's just pretend this nation behaves with the empathy morals and values of a civilized population, what will YOU and I say…
