We are witnessing the fall, or groundwork for future fall, of America as it was created. We’re following the same paths as Rome, Germany, Italy, and so many other so called “democracies” under dictatorial leaders and their supporters. “Bad things happen when good people do nothing”or the wrong things.
Our country, created in the time of kings, was based on its citizens having control of their lives unheard of from whence they came. It was based on shedding the dictatorial powers of their kings and other “noble” leaders, replacing it with the power of each citizen “created equal”. We like to call this democracy. In order to insure the citizens rights were not usurped by any corruptible governmental force, our Founding Fathers created this country with equal separation of powers working together in a “checks and balances” system. This is now being destroyed, but only by the collaboration of others.
We now have a president whose goal it is to have his will be unquestioned by those he wishes to rule. The fact that he’s supposed to work with the other 2 equal branches of government, congress and the courts, is not a disputable inconvenience as he believes! We guarantee that no one man or group becomes a de facto king or dictator only by these separated powers working together, having to negotiate and settle on what’s best for our country. You don’t go around this to impose your will. There is no better way for all of our opinions to be meshed into a governmental policy than this system to insure our continued democracy.
The 2016 election was about electing a president to work within the framework of our country, not a dictator to change it. The 2018 election was about returning this power back to the citizens of this country as they saw it being taken away. The results of these 2 elections represent equal authority and must be heeded for future governmental decisions.
How many more billions of dollars are our leaders wastefully willing to take out of citizens pockets due to their own narrow minded individual ambitions? Perhaps the wrong people are making these decisions with some having been in a position to do so for far too long also.
