14. Depressingly correct

We no longer have to compare to Nazis we are the Nazis.

Joined at the hip with Israel which with incredible irony have also become Nazis. Their Jews are the Palestinians. Our Jews are Central Americans coming to us for sanctuary from violence and oppression.

Our Judicial branch is now so politicized that they routinely deny entry to the US even though the plaintiffs meet every condition for admission. ICE now, as a matter of explicit policy, is separating children from parents so as to remove any hope that draws these refugees to our Southern border. The Border Patrol is now opening fire under the flimsiest of pretexts on the illegal aliens Trump is calling animals.

We have lost our country. The crisis is here. Our vaunted Constitution has been laid bare as utterly naive and wholly inadequate to deal with those in power who have no honor, no morals, and no ideals.

Our task now is to take our country back with our votes but with electronic voting systems that are completely unauditable that may be impossible. We are competing against an opponent that is willing to cheat, steal—do anything to hold on to power.

My wife and youngest daughter are in Ireland. I want to ask them what it was like to witness a functioning democracy in action. The people spoke there and an honest vote was held and abortion now has a chance to be made legal. But they’re on a site seeing tour and I do t want to ruin it with the gloom of our political disaster. They’ll be back soon enough.

History is not going to judge us kindly.
