The world is watching to see if the Trump / Republican Coup attempt will be successful. I personally hope it fails. Democracy and liberty are being weighed in the balances by American politicians right now. It is not something the Average American has ever considered could, or would, happen. But Trump changed everything and now we are seeing an attempted coup right before our very eyes. The Young Turks Cenk Uygur has some commentary that inspired the poem below.
The terrible problem Americans are facing is that those supporting President Trump are not fans of the Voting Class of Americans. The in your face facts have been that in this time of great trouble Republicans and Democrats have been less than useless and decidedly harmful to the wellbeing of the residents of Main Street America.
(found after posting pertinent information from Democracy Now)
Politically powerful members of the Republican Party are doing all they can to subvert the voting process and pervert the outcome of the election. That is what an attempted coup looks like to outside observers. In the meantime Democrats have been as useless as the Republicans have been harmful.
This leaves me wondering if Americans have accepted that this is the way it must be and will just give up and let it get worse and worse until all hope is a pleasant memory we once took comfort in.
