Counting Down

The election is a couple of days away, and the chaos that we have been living in the United States is ever growing. The lack of interest in justice that the people governing now have shown us makes it possible to imagine the elections giving power back to the people responsible for the chaos in the first place. I imagine, at first, that is an impulse to milk the old world for just a little more selfish comfort before we drop back into the reeking rubble of our collapsed society (and world). The rhetoric, however, makes me think something else is planned for the coming regressive change of power.

Although it is the general population which may be showing its choice to go back to the policies of the past, which were proven as failures, the rhetoric indicates that only some of us are going to be permitted to be the happy pigs we all formerly were. The remainder of us are going to be forceably trapped in the societal rubble around us now that will continue to collapse further. I wonder that the ordinary voter refuses to see that.

Through the last ten years, features of enslavement have been presented to us for our consumption. I think people haven't found those losses to be so unfortunate, and I am predicting that if the forces which are pushing our country to the right prevail in this election, there will be a swift roll-out of the remainder of those features.

I would propose that the way back from this state is to act decisively for a world we would want, not react against the obvious evil to settle for what might be a lesser one. Voting after consideration and conscience, without fear of the outcome, I think, is our only chance for a better civic american life.
