It’s been one
year since Trump has taken office. On the anniversary of the inauguration, the
US government has been shut down. It’s the only time in history where one party
had both houses of congress and the presidency and still managed to shut down
the government.
Everyday, Trump
and his cronies tears at the democratic fabric of America. What has taken the
country over 200 years and the backbone policies of why America has become a
superpower and leader in the world, Trump and his cronies are ripping it to
pieces.
Scandal after
scandal, conservatives seem to care less and less. This supposed ‘value’ voters
seems to now be ok with supporting a man who has 5 children with 3 wives (who
he cheated on each with), with someone who has affairs and pays hush money to
porn stars, and probably the worst, comparing Trump to Jesus. This is the
person that the evangelicals looks up to and supports. Never has the Christian
faith been in so much trouble.
The stress Trump
has caused in this last year has been unwavering. Tweet after Tweet, chaos
grows and spreads from his administration. Trump creates conflicts where there
were none, Trump creates fear as to feed off the grief from his victims. The
spread of his cancerous influence is not only affecting the US, but it’s had a
rippling effect all over the world.
With his support
of white supremacists, he has given life to a new era of horrors. White
supremacists all around the world are embolden, no longer do they need to hide
in the dark, they have their savior and they know they will have support from
the top. In return, these white supremacist groups does his bidding to bring
more fear and chaos around the world.
The world is
bleak right now. There’s no sugar coating that fact. The scales are clearly
tipped towards the darkness and it’s growing stronger.
It’d be easy to
retreat and hide from all the madness that Trump has created. Ignorance does
offer a degree of relief from reality, but the escape will only be temporary.
Sooner or later, reality will kick in. Sooner or later, they will start coming
for you too.
The world has
seen this before. We have seen this level of darkness several times around the
world. Every time this happens, the good and the brave did not hide, they did
not take the easy road. They did not cower. It’s time once again to call on the
good and brave once again to roar.
We are the
protectors. It is us who will protect those that can’t. It is us who will fight
back against the villainy. It is us who will drive the darkness back into the
hole and tip the scale once again. It’s not going to be an easy road. There’s
no time to waste and there’s much to do.
It’s up to all of
us. Do something, however small, fight back. Fight.
