An America You Won't Recognize
The Last Paragraph Of My Book, "Won't Be Silent," Will Make You...
If you’re anything like me—a well-meaning, conscious human being—then you’ll agree that what we are seeing through the lens of the media is a lopsided, unrecognizable America. Our upcoming presidential election could be titled “No Country for Old Men,” and nothing we can say or do can change that fact. Yes, I am voting for Joe, but it’s becoming increasingly annoying because those who have jumped ship the to Dark Side are making valid points as to why they don’t want Democrats running our government.
When I see the thousands of angry, propagandized, and well-funded useful idiots that are poised to be our future leaders, well, that’s a country this old man is not interested in. I know it’s not all of them; in fact, they are the minority. But it’s the loud, bullish, arrogant, squeaky wheels that get the grease and monopolize the bully pulpit. Just look at the slew of heinous GOP pigs in Congress, Madge “The Vag” Greene, Gym “Blind Eye” Jordan, Ted “Aye Caramba” Cruz, you get my point. There are too many to choose from. I’m a One-Issue Voter, and Democracy is my jam. I better not live to regret my choice. Not gonna lie, I’m concerned that there is a huge disparity between me and many members of the group I’ve become fond of, “We, the People.” Hence, I wanted to read aloud and share the final paragraph of my book with you.

YET, don’t sit on your laurels, kids. Our work has just begun. The forces of evil that brought my grandparents to their violent, unfortunate deaths, coupled with what my parents had to endure, are not that far off on the horizon. If you squint hard enough, you can see the foreshadows of an America you won’t recognize. Lord knows we already hear mumbling, rumbling, and the drumbeat of a new kind of war by evil factions here and abroad, which is why we can’t, must not, and won’t be silent.
Peace—literally & figuratively…

It is depressing. This election is about two old men, both of whom make me seem young by comparison (and that’s not easy). I so want younger leadership and a new vision for our great land. But I also don’t want an autocratic, authoritarian leader and government. So, I’ll vote for the octogenarian. Sigh. It beats a jack boot on my throat.
When the orange Dump tweeted about a “unified reich” the other day, I was shocked, but I shouldn’t have been. It should have shocked the hell out of our country, but probably half of them don’t understand how the word “reich” should be interpreted. We have to defeat this evil soundly. #wontbesilent
