“What IS freedom?”
Clearly, it’s not what we thought it was.
Not what we have been indoctrinated to believe it is.
In truth, it is not qualified by race, or sex, or power or nationality.
Did you ever really think Americans were incapable of the madness that is inherent in mankind?
No, me neither but as an American, my indoctrination was so thorough that some aspects of that indoctrination forced me to leave my beloved homeland to even perceive there existence!
Unwittingly, President Trump (and I imagine he does many things that way) has lifted the lid on the American issues that have never been settled, by trying to reconquer America & replant the white nationalist flag he has exposed our underbelly, our dirtiest secrets.
By attempting to remake the country in his broken image, he may just have broken our unsustainable precepts and misconceptions
That act has not only made us visible to our enemies but also to those who have for so long wanted to apply a hammer & cold chisel to America’s undercarriage.
You see… and this may surprise you if you’re a total idiot (and as we now know many are) in some very major & important ways the Civil war never ended!
In these times we have all had to live with the American hypocrisy that comes into every living room daily.
Now, somehow you want it all to return to normal but here’s the thing
We ain’t going back to normal.
You see, thanks to what you have done, normal ain’t half good enough anymore!
No!
We are staying
Out & Proud
Black & Loud
Now, the “others’ ARE coming for you but don’t you try to paint yourself as the victim!
Soon the ground will be littered with shards of the glass ceiling
And soon all languages will be freely spoken everywhere!
Humans will revel again in the idea of learning!
This may be a nightmare for you but realize for the rest of us it’s a wonderful dream!
It’s THE dream!
You’re going to have to let go of the stereotypes that have kept you warm and safe, safe from yourself mostly, safe from the effects of your lust for power and unchecked hubris.
It’s that very warmth and safety that you’ve enjoyed that has left & kept many of us out in the cold.
Your warmth & “safety” is the very thing that has led you to mistakenly believe that equality will take something away from you when the truth is it only removes the boot heel from ALL our necks
You need to realize that you did this
You need to know that you got ruled by your base instincts.
You need to know that there is a price to pay for all the times you've ignored the warnings of what can happen when you let hate & fear overwhelm you and color your political decisions.
And now a word about avarice…
As with all things in modern America the real primary issue is money & power.
While we sit and debate over the remarkable lies the present government tells as we have seen happen in other countries with a despotic dictator and his family at its head the money is being siphoned away.
We have been so distracted by the insanity of our government that we have allowed them to rig the system in their favor.
Now don’t get me wrong I am not being naive, I know the system has always been rigged I mean think about how likely it is that the invaders came to this land with stolen humans in tow, killed, raped & pillaged everything in sight broke every promise they have ever made ignored every pang of honour and human decency and then suddenly decided to get legit!
Now that doesn’t scan, does it?
The fact that there has not been an audible public outcry against the very fact that Trump has not distanced himself from his business interests as every other president has done should be an indicator of how bent the system is.
This one action or inaction has and will benefit Trump and his businesses but it doesn’t end there as we all know the new proposed tax changes may prove to make the rich richer and the poor poorer, a kind of welfare for the 1%.
So, no we will not return to normal to the status quo we’re going to build a new more equitable America that at least tries to live up to the promise that keeps everyone safe.
