And this may the last chance we have to save it!

For the last four years, we have heard all the rhetoric from the left and the right about how evil President Trump is. They have taken broad and extreme measures to limit him and his supporters from being able to live their lives and do their jobs. Never before in American history have we seen one party treating another party's supporters as terrorists, and actually suggest they be treated as such! From former politicians to current politicians and all the political pundits, on both sides of the aisles, it has never been clearer what is in store for this country, and it should scare every single person in the country! The level of vitreal is astonishing in the country at the current time in history. If we as a nation and a population don't get together now and keep our republic in place, it won't be here four years from now, and we will never get it back!

In the last few weeks, we have seen numerous things that should alarm every one of us as Americans, regardless of our political affiliations. The speaker of the house has finally admitted she held up helping the American public she is sworn to serve, on purpose to harm President Trump. Think about this, she stated it was about political clout and not about helping her constituents and the people she is sworn to help by an oath of office. What's worse, both sides of the aisle seemed to sign on to it and agree to it. If that doesn't give you a warning of what's coming, rapidly, in this country, keep reading. The former Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton has called for a 9/11 style commission to look into the people who stormed the capital. Numerous Senators and Congressmen and women have also said some alarming things.

Alexandria Ocasio Cortez has actively called for sending Trump supporters to re-education camps! You read that right! Re-education camps! They must be reprogrammed! There are multiple examples from the media as well. Joy Reid has called for hunting down all Trump supporters and taking their children from them. Is this rhetoric, or are they actually letting us know their agendas? Who knows, but it should scare you either way! The last time this type of rhetoric was used, 45,000,000 died. It started the same way. Defunding the police, starting to demonize anyone who supported the opposition. We have a very clear picture of what can and will happen if we let it, but we are so caught up in partisan politics, that we have completely ignored history! One thing is for certain; we are headed down a perilous road.

It has been spurred by BOTH parties. Rhetoric is nothing new to politics, but the rhetoric of today is dangerous and both sides are guilty of spreading hate and misinformation. However, while there were calls for prosecution because Donald Trump gave a speech in Washington, and he "incited insurrection", it was a year or so ago when Kamala Harris stated, "They're not gonna stop before Election day in November, and they're not gonna stop after Election day, and they should not"! Where are the calls of insurrection by the left and right? Isn't that clearly inciting riots? Isn't that what President Trump is accused of? Both sides are alarmingly, and tellingly quiet. At the time of this writing, which is the night of the inauguration, we are watching rioters in realtime in Seattle and Portland. There have been no calls for quiet or solace from anyone in Washington. This is what they promised would happen, and what they encouraged to happen.

In Jacobin magazine, they have placed Joe Biden on the cover shirtless as a christlike figure, with Barack O'Bama as God and Bill and Hillary Clinton as cherubs! In history, we have countless examples of what happens when we treat an "elected" official like this. IT HAS NEVER ENDED WELL! Egypt, Rome and Greece, Italy, China, Germany, Vietnam, Korea, Iran, and Iraq, are all examples, some as recently as 20 years ago, of what can happen when we treat someone like this. Power is a bad thing in the wrong hands. "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." We have all seen or read or heard that quote. Nowhere is this more obvious, than in politics. We now have politicians calling for citizens to be censored solely because of who they think they voted for. Folks this has end times written all over it and it is up to us, the people to stop what is coming. Of course, that means we have to get a little uncomfortable. We have to willing to make the same sacrifices our founding fathers did. There is a very real possibility it will not work.

We must invoke the spirit of our forefathers now to help us see the way of truth and ensure a future for our children and grandchildren. Anytime a person or party tells you there is no help but for them, you should be acutely aware of what is getting ready to happen. For decades the rhetoric from both sides has been very dangerous. It has gotten markedly worse over the last few election cycles and it has finally reached a boiling point. Perhaps we can get vocal and that is all it will take. If history has taught us anything, it is that words very rarely work. All the people in power understand is violence. They use it or the threat of it at least, against us. They use fear to keep us in our places and rule absolutely. Sure there are some that are in it for the right reason, but they are few and far between and they are slowly being converted. If not, they are being run out of Washington D.C.

So what is the right answer? Who knows but what is certain is that if we keep down the current path, we won't be around much longer, at least not as we know it. Washington D.C. is trying to get us used to being beholding to them. From raising the minimum wage to extending unemployment to defunding the military while trying to enter us into more conflict, we cannot survive this. This is not partisan this is common sense. If you start a fight, but can't finish it, you can't survive in the end. We are all taught not to start what we can't finish.

The bottom line is this, we can stand up to a new tyrannical government just like the founding documents instruct us to, or we can ignore it and live in fear and lose our country. We have lost our way and there is only one way to find it. It is not popular or even the way that is necessarily wanted, but it is the only way. If we stand by and allow our government to continue to treat us like their personal bank accounts and servants that are here to only serve them, we will never be the great nation we once were again. We are the nation all others look to for faith in the world. If Americans could do it, so can they. But if the light that is America falls, who will be left to ignite the flames of liberty? But maybe that is the end goal anyway.
