This is a challenge to all Americans.
It might be that the most spiritual thing I do this one of American holy days is to commit myself to stand up in my little space and raise my squeaky voice against the creeping authoritarianism occurring in my country presently. Resistance comes in all forms--writing letters, publicly speaking against it, working for voting rights, helping immigrants, talking to your MAGA-influenced neighbor, etc--but together it can be a powerful force against what is happening today. And let me tell those who have drifted to this immoral man's side because of wokeness, distaste for LGBTQ rights, high taxes, lack of patriotism by some, or other reasons, losing our rights and living in a country where incompetent, immoral people head our agencies, abuse our rights, and show disdain for God's children is not what benefit you. We can debate our differences, we can seek different paths, but it is not worth losing our country for those differences. The thing that is supposed to make this country better is that we can live with our differences. That we respect them and give every man and woman the right to make their choices. We can be so much better than this. Let us not be cafeteria citizens, choosing only what benefits us and letting others suffer. We can be conservative, liberal, socialist, even right-wing but we can still believe in democracy for the people, by the people, and only through the people. Government is to serve all, not just those who are currently in power. It is something that those who come to power often forget. But the citizens must never.
Challenge MAGA in everything it does until it can prove that it treats every man and woman and child the same with love, kindness, and good will.
Oppose all organizations and governments that oppose and torment and hurt those with whom they disagree.
