This is not my America; not the America I defended for nearly three decades in uniform. This America? This America is some psycho-clown caricature of our beloved civilization ripped straight from the pages of what could be just about any dystopian nightmare novel or film.
Isn't this how the Third Reich started in Germany?
This is highly abnormal, folks. What we are seeing here is raging psychosis and paranoia that would make George Orwell turn over in his grave.
- A highly specious and dubious election forced down the nation's throat with no questions allowed, no vetting done and any doubters muzzled and vilified.
- The reigning president exiled from office, barred from speaking, banned from even publishing to communicate to others.
- Anyone protesting these actions being suspected, rounded up, questioned of their "loyalty."
- A protest gone bad vilified rather than the REASON for the protest; public objection, a constitutional right, crushed.
- The capitol militarized under martial law.
- The military suspected, not trusted, feared they could be "loyal" to the president, so vetted and investigated for their personal political views and weeded of "suspects" to insure a "loyal" force to the new leaders.
- The White House thoroughly cleaned and scrubbed of every surface for germs, viruses, contaminants, foreign agents and suspicious objects and people.
The thought occurred that this could end up being a purge of Trump supporters from military ranks, at least National Guard ranks. I don't know . . . there are too many theories at this point and far too few answers or truths. Process of elimination? Historical Precedent? None of the usual suspects seem to be doing the trick as the clock ticks down.
Maybe more. A purging of the country of Trump supporters, labeled as a domestic terrorist threat group who could go postal at any time, rounded up, watched, questioned, reeducated or put on a watch list.
What a great way to ensure that the candidate that beat you never runs against you again and no such other candidate ever gets such a following, questions authority or ever runs again, just good ol' stick-in-the-mud-do-nothing typical republicans.
