What now?
Slightly less than fifty percent of the American people prefer dictatorship to democracy.
Is there anything the other slightly-more-than-fifty percent can do to avoid dictatorship?
Hamas was democratically elected. Gaza has had no further elections.
If anti-democratic forces gain power, even once, they put an end to democracy.
That is the clear and obvious intent of the Republican Party in America.
Can anything be done to avoid the fall of democracy in America?
Nearly half of them want a dictator.
Nearly half of all Americans actively work to impose a single person's will on the entire nation.
They believe whatever their Leader tells them. Even if he says two contrary things. They believe both things. They believe!
They believe ... in the way that a religious fanatic believes . Reality, even seen with their own two eyes, is entirely secondary to their belief .
It is impossible to dialog with these people in exactly the same way it is impossible to dialog with a religious fanatic. Their belief is exactly the same as that of a religious fanatic.
So... what should the remaining slightly-more-than-fifty percent do?
Assuming Joe Biden does eventually become President, he will be faced with problems that, in my not at all humble opinion, are insoluble in America's actual condition.
- He will be faced with a pandemic that has already killed nearly a quarter-million Americans... while those same almost-fifty-percent refuse to take any action that might alleviate the situation.
- He will be faced with an economy in shambles.
- He will be faced with an entire world that has completely lost faith in America.
- He will be faced with racial tension more perilous than at any time since the 1960s.
- Most importantly, he will be faced with a hostile Senate which will prefer to see the country burn than to work with him.
We thought there would be a Blue Wave. We were right, in a way. Biden collected more votes than any previous candidate, in all of American history. We did not imagine that Biden's Blue Wave would be met by a nearly equal Red Wave.
I really do not see any solution.
Or perhaps... I see a quaint throw-back...
FDR went on the radio, with fireside chats. Joe Biden should - must - go on TV, often , to tell the American people what must be done. He must name the names of any who oppose him. Then it will be up to the Republican Party to decide whether or not to sink the USS America...
