But the American people gathered on the ramparts, with their ballots, and managed to keep them at bay, at least temporarily.
The Fascists were on the verge of taking over the oldest democracy on Earth. With the help of Russia and right-wing media outlets, they were able to propagandize a large proportion of our people, who were inclined to distrust our government anyway. The circumstances looked very dire for a long while.
But the American people rose up. They voted. They were not ready to die without a fight.
The Fascists developed a cult of personality in the person of Donald Trump, and with a barrage of lies and propaganda, were able to divide this country unlike any time since the Civil War.
The people around the world were watching with as much anxiety as the majority of Americans. They were exuberant when Joe Biden was announced as the winner of the election.
But unfortunately, the cult and the propaganda were so strong that many of the Fascists supporters were unable to admit that the numbers and the facts were real. The Fascists could not have lost because they were called by God. Many Evangelicals said as much.
So, we are patiently waiting for them to exit the stage. The American people that stood up to the Fascists were heroes. They are ready to sieve thru the rubble and rebuild our country, which the cult supporters say is the greatest it has ever been. Reality has not yet penetrated their world.
