If you don't act, the country we love is dead

This country has seen its share of controversy over the past few years. From BLM and Antifa to armed police in the streets defending public buildings to the attempted erasure of our history, the streets of America has been overrun with elements of all types. Enter Covid-19 and we have the makings of an all-out hellish landscape in the good ole USA. But what has happened to quell these feelings and actions? Nothing! That's right, nothing! In fact, it has gotten worse in the past few months and weeks, and even days. So what's the answer? Who knows? What we do know is this, life is about to become a whole lot harder. This doesn't come from any place of animosity due to electoral outcomes, it comes rather from a place of history and a knowledge of history. You see throughout recorded history certain things have happened that have triggered events that have changed the course of history. The death of Julius Ceasar, the crucifixion of Christ, The American Revolution, the Civil War, the assassinations of Lincoln, the Arch Duke Ferdinand, and JFK. The killing of Martin Luther King Jr. and the eventuality of the passage of the civil rights movement in this country. All of these things had consequences, some good and some bad, but all consequences.

We now sit at a time in history, both for our country and indeed the world, where we are being watched very closely. We are being watched to see how we go forward. Will it be peaceful, or will it lead to a war the likes of which have never seen before on American soil? The cliche of the very country is at stake gets used in every single election, but it is real this time. Indeed people are tired of hearing it for good reason. But, the fact remains the stakes could not be higher. All that has been said by the media and the pundits since the declaration of victory is how the first order of business should be to reunite the democratic party and securing 2022, and then the 2nd is ensuring they keep power in 2024. Think about that for one-second folks! It is all about power for them. Not unity for the country, unity for the party. It is the party that is in charge, not the people. The politicians speak for the party, not the people who "elected" them. And yes those are quotation marks because that is what this election has turned it into. An "election".

The politicians on both sides have now not only learned to cheat but to get away with it! Think about that for one second. They now know how to get away with it! What does this mean? Voting is a show that's what it means! It is there to keep the masses under a false sense of control. Whoever is supposed to be in office will be. That means if they have agreed on a candidate, that is the candidate that will win in the end. This is the end of a two-party system. It is the beginning of kangaroo courts and being guilty solely because they have accused you of a crime. The democratic and republican parties have no interest in playing together for the people, they only want to do what it takes to keep power. Now that they have seen there is a way to never have to lose again, why bother with the pesky people?

Why try to make a base happy, when you can take them out of the equation altogether? That is what will happen quickly. Ladies and gentlemen the political powers that be will begin to think they don't need us and then the real hell will begin. What will happen then, is the people will mobilize for the "cause" of the moment and the people will be totally distracted by that and they will never notice the theft of democracy that is happening around them. The only way to combat that is to start to actively resist. It can be social resistance or an escalation to different forms, but it will all end in one definite end game. That is all-out war! Will this be a physical, traditional war, a non-traditional war, or a war of words and dissension among the ranks? Who knows, but that will be the end result.

In the end, the Constitution lays out what we are supposed to do to ensure our freedoms and democracy stays intact. It is the reason we have the 1st and 2nd Amendments. We are supposed to organize and make our voices heard, but not violently and certainly not as a divided front! We are supposed to use the 1st Amendment to the best of our abilities, not bend it to fit our narrative to make one side cave to another. If that doesn't work, we are supposed to use the 2nd Amendment to force change. That is where it gets tricky. How and who? How do we use the 2nd Amendment to our benefit and who do we expect to take up arms? These are questions no different than the founding fathers faced in their times. The difference is, even though there was dissension in the ranks, they were able to come together for the common and greater good. That is the question that lays ahead of us before any change can happen. Can we as a populace come together to take back control and keep it!
