No Democrat, no decent human being should attend the fake inauguration
After reviewing Jack Smith's report, the frustration and disgust that has been boiling inside me since the election has become too much. I'm reminded of the 1948 fact-based novel, Cry, the Beloved Country. In that book South African Alan Paton attacks his country's apartheid government and predicts its eventual downfall. Unfortunately, Paton died in 1988, six years before Nelson Mandela returned from prison and was elected President of South Africa.
I lived in Johannesburg for a year under the apartheid regime. I saw the water fountains, the parks and beaches, the phone booths, the schools marked "Whites Only" or "Nonwhites Only." It was like stepping back in time and living in places like Mississippi in the 1950s. So I've seen the neo-Nazis up close and personal. I lived and worked with them, and they're just like the MAGAts of today. And that's sickening.
The title of Paton's book captures my feelings well. The country that we have loved has been hijacked by a criminal cult, and half of the American people have approved the takeover by electing an evil dictator to return to the White House.
Trump is using the presidency to escape spending the rest of his miserable life in prison while Mandela did it the the other way around. He led a courageous moral fight against the neo-Nazi apartheid regimes of South Africa and was sent to prison for it. But, eventually, he returned to become president of the evil country that had oppressed him and the rest of the nonwhite majority.
And now here we are, with America's first Black president about to sit on the same platform with the MAGA cult leader and racist as he once again swears an oath he has mocked over and over and over again. I will never forgive Barack or any other Democrat who attends this farce scheduled for Martin Luther King Day. Yes, cry the beloved country, cry the beloved country indeed.
