Then something happened - the Tea Party
gained popularity and were elected as members of U.S. Congress.
Disrupting procedure, throwing tantrums, and generally acting like
belligerent children who weren't getting their way.
These
malignant elements grew, and before long you had members acting like
howler monkeys while in session. MAGA supplanted the Tea Partiers, until
one fateful day the Red Caps and Meal Team Six tried besieging the
Capitol building while members were inside, readying to confirm election
votes.
4 years later the coup would be complete, with the GOP
winning the election and systematically removing social safeguards and
hard-earned rights. It is happening before our eyes, with the free press
such as AP being uninvited to official functions, while unregulated
social media sites are broadcasting the propaganda of the Oligarchs.
It
sounds fantastical when written out like that, doesn't it? It isn't a
fantasy, and there are no grown-ups coming to help you. This is the 2nd
time a horrible leader was elected, despite the lousy job they did the
first time, despite being tried and found a Felon, all in public view.
Americans,
you must quit complaining and OWN this. It's ON YOU. The rest of the
world cannot fix your mess for you. Fix your electoral system, create a
social safety net, increase worker wages, mandate healthcare, support
education and the arts. If the Democrats and Republicans aren’t speaking
for you anymore – you need a new party.
Do this, or the world will treat you like "some shithole country". You want that? No? The ball's in your court, then.
