Chuck Schumer and other Democrats are foolishly laboring under the delusion that this is a presidential administration. Rather than being a run-of-the-mill administration, it is the textbook definition of a fascist regime.
Granted, they haven’t finished solidifying their position, but they are proceeding well within the necessary timeframe to finish the job.
Never in the history of the United States has a president or a political party held so many Americans in such daily fear. The orange stain and the Republican Party are nothing short of a terrorist organization.
The majority of Americans fear for their safety and the safety of their families and communities. As long as Republicans remain in power, there is no faith in the American dream.
Words like fairness, protection, law, and justice have lost all meaning. The Democratic Party is trying to play by rules that no longer exist.
It does not matter whether one is playing chess or checkers. Once your opponent knocks the board off the table, you are no longer engaged in chess or checkers.
The idea of turning the other cheek only applies when one person slaps you across the face. If you choose to overlook the offense, it might be noble or admirable.
However, when it is not just you, but an entire nation being assaulted, there’s nothing noble about overlooking the offense. When it is not merely a simple slap across the face, but rather attempted murder through systematic imprisonment and class warfare, there is nothing ethical about “playing the long game.”
For God’s sake, the time for war is not only here, it is now well behind us. Will none of you exert any true stewardship or courage?
Anyone within the Democratic Party who is still sane should stand up and take action.
The Founding Fathers are shaking their heads in disgust, scowling at you from beyond the grave.
It is time to talk about secession. But before you say, “That’s utterly ridiculous. That would raze this country to the ground,” ask yourself this:
Is there any part of American ideology that is not already under direct assault by the Republican Party?
Will you never wake up and realize that you are being mugged? Will it never dawn on you that your attacker has no intention of stopping?
A sane person, one not completely paralyzed by cowardice would choose to fight, rather than to surrender to an attacker who is already in the process of murdering them.
I am not speaking as the typical citizen who might mean well but has a poor grasp of history. Since grade school, I have studied the art of war and the rise and fall of empires. I didn’t do it for school credit; I learned about these things out of fascination.
When the Democrats began talking about Biden pulling out of the race, I scoured the history of American politics for any successful precedent of such a move. I found none.
Because I have no mouthpiece or political clout, I could not persuade anyone that it was a horrible idea. But it was, and I knew it. Still, Democrats are spoiled children, and they got what they asked for.
Even though we’ve never had a female President, and even though we already unsuccessfully attempted to run a woman against that disgusting orange stain the first time, we proceeded.
Harris would have made a fantastic President. Still, it was the most ridiculous decision that Democrats have ever made to switch candidates so late in the race. Wait. I take that back. It’s the second. The first is Schumer and other key Democrats supporting the budget resolution.
Because of the last few months, there is no longer the slightest inkling of doubt about the lengths to which Republicans are willing to go for complete authoritarian control.
I have been scrambling to find any historical precedent for removing a dictator from power without bloodshed or, at the very least, some serious behind-the-scenes coercion. I have found none.
The closest examples are:
- Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines. However, the military refused to fire on civilians, enabling them to prevail. I do not know whether Americans would be so lucky.
- Daniel Ortega and the Sandinistas. Yet, the exit came after the CIA supplied the Contra guerrillas for years. Even then, Ortega publicly stated that he intended to “rule from below” if possible.
South Korea was able to reverse its recent declaration of martial law only because the people of their congress were willing to scale the fences and face being shot by the military. I can’t even imagine our Congress officials doing anything like that.
One can find multiple “sources” that paint other regimes as ending peacefully, but they’re naive accounts. For example, I encountered an article that claimed Pinochet left power willingly. This retelling of events conveniently ignores such a staggering number of critical details that there is no time to get into it. Suffice it to say that these two I’ve mentioned are as close as it gets.
The Supreme Court is a toothless guard dog with no power to enforce its rulings. The US Marshals are under the control of the Executive Branch.
The Republicans hold the majority in both houses of Congress.
They pulled the Alien Enemies Act card within the first hundred days.
DOGE’s tampering with governmental software screams the setting up of fixing future elections. The bloodcurdling scream is loud enough for the people to hear it. So, why don’t you?
In 2020, the orange thing swore that the election would be fake unless we had all paper ballots and no mail-in ballots. Suddenly, in 2024, it was all excited about Elon Musk’s computer savvy and these “great new voting machines.”
Has no one in the Democratic Party ever played poker before? Are none of you familiar with the concept of a “tell?” The 2024 election was probably the first rigged election in American history. Yet it will not serve us to speak of this because we went to such great lengths to clarify that the 2020 election was secure.
We can’t discuss the likelihood of a stolen election; this would only bring scorn and mockery. It would achieve nothing without smoking gun evidence, evidence which I seriously doubt anyone possesses. Therefore, we must (as golfers say) “play the ball where it lies.” We must move forward from here.
Steve Bannon’s remark about “muzzle velocity” best summarizes the goal of all this chaos.
They are putting so much stress on the American people in such a short time that it’s clear what the goal is:
Incite riots in the streets and then invoke the Insurrection Act. The saber-rattling against China, Panama, Denmark, Greenland, Canada, and Mexico is an obvious sign of the intention to wage war solely to invoke martial law and suspend elections.
The Mueller Report and the January 6th Committee were correct. The orange stain technically forfeited the right to run again; the Constitution forbids it. Yet Democrats failed to enforce this.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is but one of many who have been illegally sent to what we all know are essentially death camps.
Robert King was arrested for no crime. He spoke the obvious truth, but no one is talking about him.
You have allowed them to destroy Medicaid and attack Medicare and Social Security. How many planes have they crashed? There is no time to list the roster of human rights violations and financial catastrophes; we’d be here all night.
The oligarchs are waging class warfare against us.
We, the American people, do not expect you, the Democrats, to do much of anything. It is evident to us that you all lack the fortitude, conviction, courage, and backbone to stand up and do the job that needs doing.
However, you can at least admit that we will never have peace with the ruthless mad dogs of the Republican Party.
Secede from the Union, for God’s sake.
At least you would be giving us a fighting chance. I can assure you of this: Many Americans will begin acting on their own volition in the spirit of our forefathers, who, unlike yourselves, absolutely refused to bow to a tyrant.
You are already at war; you cannot escape your incompetence long enough to accept that harsh reality.
I don’t expect you to recall that Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge was a mere 50 years ago and that it resulted in the death of more than one and a half million Cambodians.
Nor do I expect you to recollect that their targets were the same as the modern-day Republican Party those such as journalists, political enemies (such as yourselves), teachers, artists, those who spoke multiple languages, engineers, etc.
However, I do expect you to be able to understand that the rule of law is gone. You must know that no one in Washington, DC, is following the Constitution anymore. You would be incapable of having gotten yourselves elected in the first place if you didn’t at least grasp that much.
We, the people, require wartime consiglieres.
You owe us that much. Step aside and allow someone up to the task to do the job. We could literally roll the dice and do better than what the Democratic Party has given us.
We will begin to act on our own orders.
This inevitability is apparent from the murmuring of the streets. You would be wise to understand that you will do better if you are in control of the Resistance. It’s much more difficult to control the chaos of a military rebellion when you are not communicating with the generals because they are merely citizens acting out of their own capacity.
Do you want to orchestrate a second Civil War?
Or would you rather have a modern-day Weather Underground scenario to the power of ten?
There is no third choice.
I have one ear to the ground and one to the wind. It is clear to me that the people of this great nation will not much longer stomach your fearful inaction and bellyaching.
It’s time for secession. If you don’t proceed now, you will soon be unable to do anything. Our citizens will not even be able to flee the country safely.
Secede.
Do it NOW.
Sincerely,
Kevin Trent Boswell
