An American tale. Putin is using our free speech to inflame us to attack other Americans. Democrats and Republicans will be lied to and truth twisted until we don’t realize that Putin and his agents are changing our political differences into hatred. He will use all topics to divide us: abortion, guns, education, climate change and the Covid pandemic.
Putin’s american friend won followers and an election because he was crude, rude and Americans were in the mood for something new. He naturally surrounded himself with con artists and self-seekers. Many got caught, the others sulked away complaining about witch hunts, although they were all men. We haven’t had a good wizard hunt for decades. I miss those days.
The american was eventually recognized as a great entertainer and charlatan, losing the next elections, but his groupies stayed mesmerized. He was the life of the party with story telling his specialty. His act was so good that even nonparty members sent money rather than pay for the party. Who amongst us thought that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was brilliant? You guessed it, the american.
Putin’s man was no longer in charge, but his fans still followed the clarion call. The american continued the plan to divide us. His appointments to the court were in. Abortion remained the big issue separating voters from his party’s politicians. Many good Republicans must be suffering from the DT syndrome.
Over 13 million AR-15s sold in the past decade. That’s enough for a real protest against democracy, not like the January 6th practice. Over a million Americans died from the Democratic hoax of Covid.
Now Tennessee is expelling Democratically elected legislators for breaking decorum by being upset by just 6 people killed in Nashville with our favorite rifle, the AR-15. It’s scary that so many decent Republicans have morphed into Trumplicans and become fellow travelers with Putin.
I saw an interesting refrigerator magnet, “Jesus, please protect me from your followers.” After hearing fundamentalist preachers over several years, I say that prayer almost every day.
