Riders On The Storm

Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm
As the world is thrown into chaos by the antics of Trump the lyrics from the 1970 classic song "Riders on the Storm" is a stark reminder of how our future will unfold. No other words describe the current events unfolding other than with malicious intent. Our "fearless leader " has shown complete distain for millions not only here in the US but other nations as well. Just within the first week of January 20th the American public and many leaders around the world have seen the true extent of Trump's audacity toward the rule of law.
It has since come to pass that the election that propelled Trump to a second term was actually the result of purging voter rolls previous jerry maundering in certain districts, and uncounted votes. And now we are faced with the consequences. It didn't help either that millions failed to participate in the democratic process. Now the US is faced with an elected official who should have had his candidacy nulled for elected office in the first place. But no, the election went ahead fooled by a beguiled public. As a result, we are left with Watabe dictator. We can no longer ignore the abuse of power by the MAGA following for if we sit ideally by we will suffer the consequences of our inaction.
Many historians now can relate that Thomas Jefferson did warn us about the abuses of power in the first two paragraphs of The Declaration of Independence.in relation to Donald Trump and his cult following. Many scholars have empathically stated the US is on the same pattern of events that Ancient Rome followed. Lessons that history is supposed to teach us have been tragically ignored for years.
Now the questions we all should be asking ourselves since our credibility as a nation is under attack in the eyes of the world: what recourses can the public make to ensure the US doesn't end up like Ancient Rome? Do we still have elected officials who abide by the rule of law and our Constitution? Now is the time to remember this in the Declaration of Independence "That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
There is right now an organized effort to unite behind articles of impeachment that is unprecedented in our history for a newly sworn in President. We have to always remember what the signers of The Declaration of Independence and our Founding Fathers sacrificed in order to establish a more perfect union. And today we have drifted far away from that more perfect union... As a nation we are more divided than ever. Our trust in government has eroded from years of disingenuous foreign and domestic policies along with horrendous Supreme Court rulings. And then came Trump which capitalized on our gullibility and promised the world which he knew he only wanted that age old selfish quest for power, control and wealth all at the expanse of the American public.
Remember it is our right; it is our duty to throw off such government that Trump is imposing and now provide safeguards for our future security. Let us not fall prey to being recipients of history of nations rising only to fall.
