Those who feel they are in a desperate fight for their personal freedom.
Have been supporting leaders who have no care for certain groups or individuals.
Should the supporters ever want to get off the GOP’s boat.
There will be no guarantee that they could stay afloat.
You would think exclusive is never the way for government to go.
But the people vote to make it so.
The GOP has been leading US up a creek as they seek to limit the distribution of the paddles.
Offer horse rides as they carve for the power to decide who gets the saddles.
Use their public service positions to promote their propaganda.
Tactics in their politics are bullying, intimidation and slander.
Creating disasters to bring down the opposition.
Showing no care, only indifference to any harm done throughout the Nation.
That has been their leadership in plain sight.
Yet people are enthused and display delight.
While the GOP keeps their showing of corrupt, negligence and greed.
Many still choose to invest in their seeds.
Have them proceed.
They douse true solutions with fear.
Keep their base and the extremists near.
Do whatever it takes to appear fair and in the clear.
They masterfully manipulate and hold.
Containing the herd.
With no checks or accountability, they are creating a new mold.
Brace yourself because what we will be able to retrieve.
May not be sufficient to bring relief.
As we may be contained by the same limits they gave.
They are making US into the image and likeness of one.
The leader of their cult known as Trump.
And as more of US keep close to his rump, we are exposing who we are –
Narcissistic, self-serving, hypocrites pretending to be the North Star.
We can pretend, continue to fool ourselves.
But the rest of the world is not in a trance.
Have no reason to play to the GOP’s or Trump’s hands.
Our biases, stereotypes and emotions have blurred the lines.
So many don’t distinguish wrong from right.
Acknowledge what has been in front of our eyes.
We have sanctioned politicians to act as spiritual guides.
And for our spiritual teachings to be politicized.
Are we sure?
That’s the mix we’re aiming for?
There were reasons for Nations to let go of that unsavory combo.
Do some like Israel so that they would copy their one religion dominated politics here?
Although that area hasn’t lived in peace for years?
And expectedly, only one religion would rule.
Which would the authoritarians choose?
Christianity appears to be setting up as best.
Save yourself and dismiss the religious rest.
That seems to be the state of the Christian faith.
Even though we were told to leave Cesar alone.
His throne is not to heaven’s worth.
And his gold is not what we should aspire to own.
When religious are hitched to political.
Some of the faithful become cynical.
Both have not been short on guidance they’ve been giving.
They stay with the outcome despite harm done to people’s living.
Religious leaders must realize, at some time they will have to compromise.
And then the God as we know is no longer the one being served.
By the time people feel the distaste.
Critical mistakes and irreparable damage would already have been made.
If the religious conscience allows confrontation to Biden, then why not to Republicans and Trump?
For some, it’s not the same religion, but wrong is wrong.
Their sayings and doings impact the flock.
If one side can be spoken against.
Why is the other side fenced?
If the Church can’t do just and fair.
Can it be expected or demanded elsewhere?
It’s not to endorse or support a candidate.
It’s to call out when there is wrong-doing and hate.
Especially in these times of extreme.
When harm and hurt are a constant theme.
Actually, holding the abolishing of abortion as the priority.
Has given a boost to certain candidates and a specific political party.
It reinforces people’s go for a one-issue vote.
And ignores all the other ill-wills that they promote.
Even the Church has had lectures and warnings about how predators behave.
They describe that they disguise for safe and save.
Now that there are predators on a national scale.
Again, church leaders fail.
Why do they stand firm in their ways to reject?
But miss the mark when they ought to protect?
Some are actually toying or warming to the idea marrying Church and State.
Thinking that would make America great.
Having power, feeling righteous and thinking you’re entitled.
Can be a dangerous combination.
That’s what some are choosing to lead and guide the Nation.
The irrational and delusional, believing God is on their side being fortified.
Led by one who is glorified and backed by a terrorist army that is organized.
Religion has been dangerous for some.
In more ways than one.
Justification of wrong in the name of God.
And the hiding of sin that occurs within.
Similar with what’s happening among Republicans.
Political and Religious – Already there is a lack of separation.
Both sides, same attraction.
Similar feel, tapping into the same sources to satisfaction.
The right, Republicans and religious in this Nation have lost many to Trump – He is now the object of their devotion.
The reason they get riled up.
Who they look to for truth.
Under their watch and to their rule, America is churning like a cesspool.
As they allow for the rise of white supremacy.
People living in an alternate reality.
Trading democracy for personal freedom and anarchy.
Vigilante types have been given more power to act.
Killer cops can keep the same speed and stay intact.
Those who successfully fought for the right to own any and every gun.
Are now winning the fight to open carry one.
It’s hard to separate the side that doesn’t endorse this mix among the religious, the cultish and those in politics.
Anyway it’s seen.
Who in their right mind thinks these are good deals?
Those who say they know, love and show allegiance to Israel.
It’s mind boggling there is no learning from their experience.
Israelis didn’t sit back and wait for their “savior” to do.
As many Americans seem to.
The opposition combined to ensure Netanyahu’s political demise.
While the Israel sympathizers among US are embracing his characteristics in Trump.
But in Israel, lessons learned, foot down – They had enough.
They were spent, the stars aligned and they helped themselves.
They were realistic about their assessment of Netanyahu as a man and about his leadership.
They didn’t find him fit for worship.
They had the courage to sever their ties.
Will America(ns) be as wise?
