A dangerous combination – a group that believes in conspiracy theories and lies.
Lawmakers who comprise of this group.
And they themselves stoop so low.
They promote for the lies to grow.
The biggest liar in Chief was allowed to lead the Country.
Now he’s like a God who can do no wrong.
Combine this with acceptance of political violence.
And when someone crosses the line – silence.
The same who robustly defend the Second Amendment.
And are not hesitant to show their anger and resentment
Against anyone who oppose them.
People breathe a sigh of relief.
At the near fall for America’s democracy.
Calling January 6th a near miss.
If that’s your feel, then you have a watered down version
Of what democracy means.
How can the Country just move on?
When lawmakers from one Party
Have direct links and are sympathizers to the insurgents.
They continue to promote lies to the people.
Who have become violent because they feel cheated.
And ‘’ordinary” members still tolerate attempts made to suppress votes.
Not even hiding that agenda, it’s been out in the open.
Instead of working on weeding out the extreme side and the Party’s sin.
Their focus continues to be, how to get the Party a win.
Looking forward to regaining the Senate.
Instead of standing firm to do what’s best for the Country.
They focus on maintaining power to the Party.
Still treating the Democrats as the enemy.
And even with evidence of misstatements.
There are no attempts at correction.
They let lies continue as real.
For their benefit and greed.
Some are for promoting the Conservative side of the Party.
Focusing on the Party’s wants, not the Nation’s needs.
Others are trying to get back or keep their good graces with Trump.
Trying to uplift the MAGA movement.
A narcissist with a power grip.
Is not what should be looming in our politics.
Previously, distractions were the presence and doings of Trump.
He’s gone from the top but still, there is chaos.
This time by the presence and doings of Republicans.
They have not been to govern – the reason they were voted there.
But forever tuned to the Party’s despair.
They try to lure the Democrats into their mess.
Hoping they won’t succeed to do the People’s business.
Democrats have to deal with those distractions,
While trying to keep focused on the actions needed to assist the Nation.
And yes, Democrats have had to stop and pause.
To address the Republican cause.
Still trying to voice for the People in the end.
While keeping themselves from being killed.
A stark reminder from the Universe
Threats to America’s democracy – Still in the works.
Democrats’ motives have been pure.
When Citizens benefit, they feel they’ve scored.
With the right motives, government is not the enemy.
During these times of Covid, it’s actually needed.
Government should do what is best for the majority.
People should feel free and secure.
And not have to depend on security to carry out daily activities.
Government rules and regulations should aim
At keeping the public safe.
Not just for the limited monetary gain of few.
Nor to promote personal ideology or points of view.
Government officials are public servants
Hired to work for US.
Not for advancing a movement.
Character and motive are important in leadership.
The leaders should have some knowledge and understanding.
There should be cooperation and collaboration.
Not decisions by only one.
At least that is how it should be.
If you want to continue living in a democracy.
