Joy tells it like it is. The election was the end of America. Nothing can save us except what cannot happen: millions in the streets demanding the end of the reign of Trump and his oligarch owners. The proverbial snowball.
Near the end of June, in 2022, I wrote that, “It has become clear to any of us with any critical thinking ability that the elections are going to be a nightmare. The Christians who have not been corrupted better be ready to fight for survival. Nobody will admit that what is almost certain to happen is mass violence.” What was not clear to me but has since become so is that most Americans are more concerned about the price of eggs than saving 248 years of democracy from being thrown on the trash pile. I should have known this several years ago when a coworker expressed his unhappiness about talk of raising the minimum wage. I asked him why it made him angry, and he said it would raise the price of the breakfast burrito he bought on the way to work every morning.
When I predicted mass violence, I had thought it would be so clear that Trump would lose that he would call out the MAGA AR-15 army into the streets and there would be a civil war. It did not go that way and some weeks before the election I somehow knew Trump would win and America was over. We deserve what happens next. Materialism dematerialized our country and now we can only pray it does not progress to showers and ovens.
