More ways THEY have created to scare the stuffing out of you.=12.0ptNo matter what your affiliations may be, the next month or so will be a period we will all remember for the rest of our lives.  No matter how it turns out.   =12.0ptThere is a nationwide polarization among the population today, the likes of which this country has not seen since the Civil War.    =12.0ptIt has been percolating for the past decade, but was ramped up significantly with the advent of the COVID vaccine mandates in 2021.  That was when Congress forced the captains of social media into a new era of censorship in order to silence any opposition to the untested jab. =12.0ptAfter that pageant wore itself out because of so many deaths and complications from the shot, the censorship itself nevertheless persisted.  But the focus of the censorship was now changed.  Word came forth from on high across legacy and social media alike that what must now be suppressed was the ideology of one of the two sides, in whatever form it occurred.   =12.0ptOne event in particular then increased the intensity of the polarization exponentially – and that was the abdication of the president and the subsequent appointment of his unelected second in command to simply take over, not only running the country but also his position as candidate in the coming election.     Without any vote, or mandate by Congress. =12.0ptSuch an eventuality was never considered or provided for by the makers of our Constitution.  Has this transfer of power gone unchallenged since there are no precedents or federal laws that would cover it?   =12.0ptToday the opposition of the two parties to each other has reached new levels of bloodlust never before seen in this country.  No election has ever carried this amount of invective and vitriol, in which one side may spend more time demonizing the other side than they do promoting an agenda.     =12.0pt                    .           =12.0ptLooking back at old videos of the Kennedy /Nixon or Bush /Gore debates, one grows almost nostalgic for the undercurrent of civility, gentlemanly behavior and mutual respect for opposing views.  All that is gone today  - not even the pretense of respectful behavior.             =12.0ptToday we are witnessing the de-evolution of American politics, as it abandons all traces of the decorum of previous days and replaces it with Third World banana republic type viciousness, and utter lack of substance.  Name-calling is king.   =12.0ptThe justification behind such labels is not even necessary.  The insulting name is called, picked up by various sources, and then echoed over and over across corporate media without ever a discussion of its accuracy.  So a campaign’s agenda can consist almost entirely of name-calling.  We’re not particularly for anything – we just know we’re against this. =12.0ptWhat’s the phrase we’re hearing over and over these days  - threat to democracy? =12.0ptIf you have any appreciation for the American experiment, is this not the most frightening month of your life?
