While everyone is focused on the impeachment inquiry hearings....
The fact that the Republican Party is staging a coup to hold onto their power and replace our democracy with some distorted, archaic process of authoritarianism is going largely unnoticed.
But the sad fact is - these conservatives have had a taste of power, (which for them is like the taste of blood to a vampire bat) and they're simply not going away easily.
The truth - we're in the midst of a coup which, if successful, will set back our country at least 100 years.
If you don't believe me, just look at the crimes being committed by the United States at our borders.
Look at our environmental devastation, and the climate change that is denied, denied, denied.
Every mass shooting that has happened during Donald Trump's reign of terror is fueled by the hate speech emanating from both him and his minions. (Please note - no steps have been taken to reform our superbly lax and certifiably insane gun laws.)
Separating children from their parents, and being unable to reunite them because of the monumental incompetence that defines the Trump administration is a page right out of Hitler's Berlin.
We have religious leaders proclaiming God has sanctioned Donald J. Trump. There is no separation of church and state.
Women's rights are under attack as the conservative men in this coup attempt to return us to 1950, when women knew their place and kept their mouths shut.
Gays are losing rights every single second this president is in power. But it's not just him. There's a game plan by the conservatives, and we'd better wake up and beat them at it real soon.
The very thing that made America such a special place is being replaced with an authoritarian nightmare. Many of us feel powerless to stand against this because we simply do not believe it.
We'd better start believing it.
