In these circumstances its is easy to give up to use as a cop out the overwhelming power and influence of the system and plead guilty as charged to an abnegation of civic responsibilities that is one of the tenets of democracy. But there arises yet another question: is this truly democracy and is so whom does it benefit? Certainly not the lower and poorer classes of American society. Not Blacks hobbled by a two-standard of justice – one white and privileged, the other Black and unfair, biased, racist and culpable.
Maybe the Republic is facing its Armageddon and the yawning yaws of Hell are not far off and the oligarchs, their enablers, their sycophantic lackeys, their corporate henchmen et al are rushing rapidly into the waiting arms of Satan. But in the here and now that is little consolation for those who believe that King George and his cronies may yet escape Purgatory and not get their just desserts for abusing the Republic and its people and creating a climate that is conducive to the shenanigans of Balzeebub.
American society is today riddled by a gang of kleptomaniacs and ruled by a classic kakistocracy that either wants to grab all that they can get from the public coffers or engaged in selling off of national assets to their friends around the world. Maybe things will change when the people have had their fill of this filth. I’m an eternal optimist and believe in the inherent good of the human spirit even one as battered and beaten and the American spirit.
Maybe one day soon the people will rise up and decide that it is high time that they take back their Republic.
