The slaughter continues and individually we are powerless to stop it.
As we watch the horror unfold, we hope that our elected leaders can and will do whatever they can to help protect an innocent democracy from a murderous psychopath intent on their destruction.
Democracies are fragile.
If we allow dictators on the world stage to attack and annihilate smaller democratic countries without cause or remorse it is only a matter of time before they come for the rest of us.
You cannot support the overthrow of our democracy while refusing to hold the person who led the insurrection accountable and expect the rest of us to just move on like nothing happened.
At this point I would rather see the radicalized portion of our society exiled to a place far away from the rest of us.
It would be entertaining to see how they fair stewing in their own hatred and fighting amongst themselves while Fox media incites and cheers them on.
Then the rest of us can move forward with maintaining a more equitable union.
If you can’t play nice in the sandbox you no longer get to play in the sandbox. You don’t get to hit the other children over the head and take their toys! That seems fair right?
There are rules! There have to be rules.
There are morally and ethically responsible ways to resolve our differences and they must be adhered to.
I cannot in good faith be unified with anyone who doesn’t respect and support the rules of our democracy.
So if the price for unity is being willing to overlook domestic terror and violence, then I will have to take a hard pass!
