Democracy Under Siege

 

Approaching 400,000 dead from the Covid-19


Pandemic, over 20-million Americans infected


to date.



Seditious insurrectionist mobs attack the US Capitol


looking to overturn a legal democratic presidential


election.



The Boogaloo and Proud Boys, Q-Anon, the KKK and


other neo-Nazi, Trump white-supremacist acolytes are


leading the way to chaotic anarchy and autocracy.



The Nation’s economy and the medical infrastructure


are teetering on the edge of collapse. And to say the


least, our 245-year old Republic is threatened and under


siege.



The majority of cowardly Republican Congress have


failed to speak out vigorously in defense of our democracy.



And all this in the name of God and country, freedom and


liberty espoused by the waning white ruling-class majority.


In my 74-years as a citizen of this country, not since


slavery and Jim Crow had I expected to see such de-


gradation of society, bearing witness to the venomous


threat to the tenets of our republic and democracy.



I’m afraid the seeds of our demise have been germinating


for quite some time.
