America, Have You No Decency Left?
We are in the midst of a McCarthyism redux
With a little over a month left until what will be the most contested election in U.S. history, it is increasingly evident that America as we know it, as we have loved and loathed it, is dead. We have gone from a two-party system where we once battled ideology for the betterment of the country to one party versus one vociferous anti-American cult. What else can you call a group of people who have turned the Department of Justice on its own people, performed unnecessary medical procedures on those the president referred to as animals, labeled American cities as “anarchist jurisdictions” in order to cut federal funding to economic foes, and all but danced on the grave of an American judicial icon so they can revert space and time back to an era of undisputed White male dominance? And what’s worse: They don’t even have enough shame to hide their motives anymore.
The entire Republican apparatus has looked the American people straight in the eye and said in the immortal words of Sheree Whitfield, “Who gone check me, boo?”
The problem with our current state of despair is that we actively chose to miss all of the signs until now when we as a nation have reached the doorstep of fascism. You see, America has in fact been in this paranoid state of terror and fear before…
