Check the boxes of normalcy?

Last edited Sun May 17, 2026, 09:42 AM - Edit history (1)

The fact that we have a government’s sole purpose is to strip everyone of the rights and privileges of being an American, is not normal. Trump and his minions have no respect for the constitution, the law nor any other principle of the government. But this isn’t all from Trump!

It started in 1980, or yet further back! Since the Kennedy Administration, Republicans have chewed away at the notion of a fair and free country. In the span of 6 decades, they are closing in on their agenda. This is a pace where Trump fits right into their plan.

The Republican leadership knows better, but sadly they don’t care and watch Trump burn everything down! Not only for the power, but to enrich himself and others by stealing our hard earned money. Leaving us with very little or nothing to survive on! This administration is full of his “yes” minions too.

The normalcy is far more serious than before! Because there is no evidence of any normalcy whatsoever. That alone is the most damaging part of this government!

When it returns to a normal level is anyone’s guess? But, for now, more damage is going to be inflicted and they won’t care. They are living their dreams of a one party system of government. Their way or no way at all!

Thus, some of the wall is cracked and holes are starting to appear. But we can’t stop! The cracks and holes must not be the end! The wall needs to be obliterated and crushed!

1. What amazes me most is the extent to which some of their actions have no purpose other than to harm the world around us.

This is the most hateful group of criminals ever to see the light of day.

2. The "We need to move on and look to the future" strategy has enabled much of the Republican agenda.

Lack of proper Iran/Contra punishment, W/Cheney lying us into war, Rove getting away with ignoring a Congressional subpoena, and letting Trump go unpunished for January 6th/ stealing documents and grifting money all helped get us here.

If the Democrats ever have power again and continue this mentality, we will not survive.
