If I were King of the World
Were I King of the World, there exist an entire array of beliefs and behavior I would correct on the spot.
Given the nature of the current political debate, the world is full of such opportunities. I’ll start with this one:
I would find a way to disabuse the cultists who continue to believe The Big Lie about the 2020 election being stolen that, well … it wasn’t. Stolen, that is.
The cultists adhere to nonsensical trash being spewed by the 45th POTUS. They comprise — depending on who’s doing the polling — 35 to 40% percent of all Americans. That’s still a minority view, but it’s a significant minority nonetheless.
They are upsetting me in the extreme. They have swilled that poisonous Kool-Aid that POTUS 45 has served up. They present an existential and oh, so very dangerous threat to our system of government. Good grief, when I hear them talk about “civil war” and more violence in the wake of the 1/6 riot on Capitol Hill, it makes my blood boil, my skin crawl, my hair stand up on end.
What’s worse is that their patron saint of lying — the aforementioned POTUS — says nothing to quiet their threats against civil society. Hell, he’s leading the chorus!
Yep, if I were King of the World, I would put a screeching halt to it all.
But I am not. I am just a blogger, an American patriot and someone with a tiny voice that I am going to use the best of my ability to try to shout them down.
