Yesterday’s horrendous events have left a scarred country, at
least four people dead, calls for the 25th Amendment to be invoked, a
president banned from Twitter, and probably a very over-tired Congress who
worked until 4AM the next day to complete the task they were given.
As I sat and watched the horror unfold on my television
screen yesterday, I ran a full gamut of emotions including tears, anger, fear,
and pride in the actions of those who saved the important electoral ballots. Most
of all I experienced shock that my country, the United States of America, was
literally under attack — and the attack was being perpetrated by our own
citizens! Even worse, the attack was instigated by the man who currently holds
the title of America’s president!
It is incomprehensible to me to understand how people can so
blindly follow what I can only describe as a “madman”. Throughout Trump’s term
he has pushed for violence, created more of a racial divide, denigrated females,
ridiculed the disabled and, in MY honest opinion, stolen from the American
taxpayer. Yes, I am aware that he did manage to “speak” to some people’s needs
and they were willing to put up with his rhetoric and sometimes irrational behavior
thinking that he would actually “Make America Great Again”; I never voted for
him, not in 2016 and not in 2020, but I do know a few who did and I respect
them whether or not I agree.
With Donald Trump complaining about a “stolen election” (which
btw, was confirmed multiple times as authentic) and instigating yet more angry
reactions he encouraged his die-hard followers to march up Pennsylvania Avenue
with a show of “strength” to take the election back… he also promised to “be
with” them, and of course he wasn’t, he hid in the White House while he sent
them on a rampage. After several dire requests for him to speak to the crowd,
he posted a video telling them he loved them, and yes the election was stolen,
but they should go on home — it was a less than half hearted attempt to quell a
situation that he caused and probably even added more ire to their already
brainwashed minds. Trump turned a group of ordinary Americans into domestic
terrorists with the mindsets of ISIS suicide-bombers.
Our TRUE AMERICAN HEROES, no matter which party affiliation,
were the senators, representatives, and congressional staff who had to run for
cover AND who thought to save the ballot boxes. When the invasion of the
rioters was over and it was deemed safe, they resumed the business that they
were constitutionally bound to do, even shaken by the events. And at 4AM this
morning, they concluded discussions after entertaining any objections and
declared Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as the official winners of the 2020
November presidential election.
This is not something America will heal from easily. When we
were attacked in Pearl Harbor, and we were attacked at the World Trade Center
and the Pentagon, it was outsiders who perpetrated the atrocities. But
yesterday we were sadly attacked from within and the ringleader was someone we
should have been able to trust to keep our country safe.
There were at least four deaths yesterday, people who stormed
the Capitol building. Yes, I tend to mourn every death, but honestly the only tears
I shed for the individuals is that they were sent to cause this destruction by
someone who is not fit to run our country, they were misled. I do however mourn
for their families because even horrific people usually have someone who loves
them.
God bless America.
“This is a day that will live in infamy.
The very people who believe they are protecting our democracy
have succeeded in destroying it.”
