21. Blessed of all of you who keep the faith

I have seen this scenario before, the evildoers get their way, even when people disagree, when hopes are still alive, when opposition fights but being the minority very little they can do (Devos, Session, etc.) and the regime just moves ahead with their agenda, ignoring the people, the constitution, the laws, democracy...people still believe the system they are used to will help them combat the grey clouds that everyone can see coming but no one believes they will pass over their heads, but the clouds keep coming and suddenly, the regime has won, it has control of the military, the courts (which it did today), they change the constitution and nobody does anything about it. The greedy ones sing the song of the regime because the regime is smart and is going to let them continue filling up their coffers until the time comes when they take that too. The regime creates chaos and confusion, they build a militia that happily "defends the cause", people and the opposition are having to fight little fights and pointing their efforts in the wrong places because behind the scene the regime is moving ahead with their agenda while they keep the public and the opposition distracted with petty things. One day everyone wonders and asks "It could not happen here", but it did.

Sorry, but I HAVE seen this before, the formula never changes, and it works. And when those who supported, not only Trump but the repubs realize what they did it will be too late, and some of them will continue thinking they did the right thing.

When Trump said he could shoot someone on 5th ave and would not loose votes he also meant that no one would do anything to imprison him either. Ask yourselves, has anyone done anything significant, so far, to stop the madness? how many rules has Trump and the repubs broken since January 20 and no one dares do anything?

I pray that I am 100% wrong, but from having seen this before, I am seeing a re-run, but in English.
