AUTHORITARIANISM

(07,23,2023) Authoritarianism refers to a government in which authority is centered in one person or a group which is not accountable to the people they represent. Although many wars have been fought in order to stamp out this totalitarian manner of ruling, the threat of such a regime, in America, has never been more evident! America’s former president, the P.O.T.A.S. (President of the American Supremacists), is now looking at a possible total of four indictments, for dozens of crimes, most involving anything to do with his term as president. They are federal crimes as well as crimes against more than one state. And, yet, those Republicans, who hold the highest offices in the government, are unwilling to admit that the P.O.T.A.S. has done anything wrong. They continue to spread their lies and deceit, while promoting him as the only candidate for the leadership of their party, and ultimately, the presidency. How sad is that!? Instead of conveying to the people the fact that justice must be served, they tout the line, “Let’s move on! Why look back?” Even the speaker of the house, Kevin McCarthy, refuses to answer any questions pertaining to the P.O.T.A.S.’ numerous indictments, only offering the comment, “Why? The former president has done nothing wrong!” And he said it with a straight face, never batting an eye! I will say one thing for them, the Republicans have gotten very adept at telling lies! But, Kevin McCarthy should have taken a closer at his face, in the mirror, after his most recent visit to the P.O.T.A.S.’ home, which happened the day after the P.O.T.A.S. announced that he was being indicted yet again. I do believe that McCarthy’s nose is getting a little longer, and the brown smudge, on the end of it, is becoming more distinct! That is particularly after his last sojourn to the P.O.T.A.S.’ domain, during which he was given his latest orders. And now, McCarthy and the rest of the P.O.T.A.S.’ cronies are going after those decision makers, attorneys and the D.O.J., even those appointed by the P.O.T.A.S. himself, because they do not like the decisions that are being handed down. Strangely, even though the P.O.T.A.S., who had once sworn to defend the constitution, has admitted that he wants to tear it up, his party attacks the justice system for upholding the law. How bizarre is that? The P.O.T.A.S. wants to make the rules to suit himself, and the Republican party is willing to use every dirty trick in the book, in order to make that happen! The hypocrisy of America’s governing Republican party knows no bounds! While crying, “Witch hunt!”, every time that the P.O.T.A.S. gets indicted, they profess to believe that the U.S. attorney, David Weiss, who the P.O.T.A.S. had appointed earlier, while in office, did not do enough to prosecute Joe Biden’s son, Hunter. This is all that the party can focus on, in their attempt to deceive and misdirect the public, while trying to make Joe Biden look bad as the P.O.T.A.S.’ only major Democratic opponent for the presidency. If one were to line up Kevin McCarthy, Lindsey Graham and Jim Jordan, they would resemble the iconic three monkeys, ‘Hear no evil! See no evil! and speak no evil!’ And now, to make matters worse, the apparent second choice for the leadership of the Republican Party, is Ron DeSantis who has already proven himself to be the totalitarian governor of Florida. The laws, which he is forcing on his own state, are nothing short of authoritarianism! This runner up, for the leadership of the party (Republican), and possibly the presidency, has created laws that deprive people of their rights and borders on fascism. Just look at how he wants to rewrite the history books to match his own one-sided (lop-sided) view of this world. Ron DeSantis truly believes that slavery was good for black people because it taught them basic tools that would benefit them, in the future, and help them to eke out an existence. This comes on the heels of his decision to ban certain school books, threatening teachers’ jobs should they ignore him, simply because he does not want the truth to be taught, if it does not comply with his ideology or warped sense of reality. Furthermore, while the P.O.T.A.S. has taken every opportunity to attack DeSantis, as his closest opponent in the race for the Republican leadership, Ron DeSantis will not say anything negative against the P.O.T.A.S. for fear of losing some of the supremacist voters who make up the majority of the P.O.T.A.S.’ base. Unfortunately, the rest of those republicans in the race, while actually admitting that the P.O.T.A.S. has committed crimes against the country, are too far behind because they do not support the party lie. However, the P.O.T.A.S. has become unsure of his own tactics, of late, and of his lawyers’ abilities to keep him out of jail, in the event that he is found guilty of any of the crimes with which he has been charged. They have even admitted, to the public, that they are afraid of the fact that there could be more evidence and witnesses of the P.O.T.A.S.’ crimes, which have not yet been revealed by the prosecution. Since they are fearful of such a possibility, isn’t that tantamount to an admission of his guilt? Thusly, the P.O.T.A.S. has reverted to his old tactic of making threats. Ironically, while the P.O.T.A.S. sits with the threat of a charge of treason looming over his head, for inciting the incursion on Capitol Hill, on Jan.6 of 2020, where he called upon his white nationalist voters to storm the hill, he is actually doing the very same thing again. In a recent interview, the P.O.T.A.S. claimed that “a passionate group of voters” will make things even worse than the Jan. 6 riot of 2020, if he is thrown in jail. That certainly sounds just like his “stand by!” orders to the supremacists prior to his attempted coup on the government. Incredible though it may seem, the P.O.T.A.S., with the aid and support of the Republican representatives, is threatening the government and the department of justice, for attempting to see justice served! This is the same former president who had claimed that there was not a thing to worry about when the COVID-19 pandemic first broke out and that it would be eradicated in a matter of days. Prior to that costly error, the P.O.T.A.S. had removed most of former President Obama’s environmental protection policies as soon as he began his term. The P.O.T.A.S. claimed that there is no such thing as climate change or global warming! And he revived the coal industry, the largest polluter and contributor to green house gases! That is his legacy! Perhaps, if one of the latest tornadoes, or flash floods, or forest fires were to strike at his home in Florida, the P.O.T.A.S. might wake up to the reality of a major global environmental crises that is happening all around him! With this year barely half over, most countries, including Canada and the United States, have already seen broken records for the annual amount of forest fires, tornadoes, rainfall and flash floods, which have devastated countless millions of people in North and South America. The same can be said for Europe and Asia, with Australia not far behind. Then, there is the fallout to consider after the initial damage is done. Smoke inhalation, starvation, thirst and disease, followed by death, is the ghastly scenario! The time has come for the leaders of the world to come together in order to fight the largest threat to mankind! Humans created this global catastrophe and it is their duty to try to control and subdue it! Stop the insanity of self-serving squabbles and look around before it is too late! The people need altruistic leaders who care for the good of mankind and will nurture God’s garden back to health. To save this once green Earth, I implore all to heed this matter with much importunity!
