The Dilemma: The moral incompatibility of America's divergent perceptions of decency, truth, even reality, but most of all the unwillingness of so many vs. the hope of others to grant to our fellow human beings their unalienable rights with justice, kindness and civility.
That one mean-spirited, egomaniacal sociopath of a person, by any human-centered standard and logic, incompetent to serve in any capacity for all Americans, incapable of moral leadership, has besmirched America, taken it down to the lowest, corrupt and bizarre level ever--and with it--America's purpose and possibility as a "more perfect union." For his entire chaotic and nightmarish "reign" beginning with the birther lie, he has fed followers fear and misinformation/lies and lies to appranately gullible, who have chosen to ignore his crude, careless and vengance-filled rantings, lies, and crimes esentially gaslighting to fundraise. Others who support him percieve that they have much to gain in power and wealth by denying and/or tolerating all of the above.
Some of each group know what he is, and always has been, what he has and has not done, but do not care. Some have seen fit to ursurp the American flag to stand for something other than equality and justice for all, and Christianity to distort its essential truths and teachings, even in some cases believe he is a savior and somehow fulfills prophesy or some other outlandish consipracy that the Bible prepares its literal interpreters to swallow regarding other conspiracy delusions.
Still, Congress did not convict on the first impeachment, even with credible witnesses, later retaliated against for telling truth. We were warned then that leaving Trump in power would embolden him to go even further. And he did, and again a second impeachment where he was not held accountable for planning, organizing and encouraging the "wild" and dangerous actions of his most extreme followers, inciting them to subvert a consitutional process. Thus, the deadly insurrection tradegy of the January 6, 2021 riot/ attack on the Capitol and the Constituion.
Then true to his dark side, and his cultish supporters the lie that the 2020 election was a fraud, even with confirmation otherwise by his own Attorney General, Bill Barr continues to be hammered home daily. And we are aasked to actually believe that those whom he called to DC for a "wild time" to "save the country" from its own Consitution took a peaceful tour of th Capital that day, despite the evidence of our own ears and eyes, (which Trump once advised we should not believe).
People on tours usually do not crash through windows, injure police and security guards, carry weapons and destroy property to get into the place they have come to tour. And there were deadly assaults on Capitol police officers, deaths and injuries, and even suicides associated with the trauma of that day. There are ongoing increased threats of and almost daily violence of threat in support of his to effort make America great again. Never a kind of encouraging word regarding our country and its people--only talk of disaster, retribution and victumhood. The sadest part if that members of Congress so nor step in the affirm the truth, rather have gon along with the stated goal by Steve Bannon after the 2016 to dismantle the administrative state (AKA our democracy and institutions without any plans to reform or replace them. What will we have? Chaos
Will you wake, for pity's sake?
The dilemma includes that we have called some who support, tolerate or igore the above, our friends, our neighbors and our loved ones. It is heart breaking with an incomparable ache.
