What if…
There were no laws, Declaration of Independence, or Constitution that we all have been so privileged to live by & under.
What if…
My Dad, Uncles and all the others had not fought in WWI & WWII
What kind of America would we have now; certainly not the one I grew up in!
What if…
United States Presidents were elected by the people vote instead of the electoral vote, and candidates ran a campaign on Merit instead of political party.
What if…
Imports stop and our exports are no longer excepted by other countries, because of alienation, arrogance & actions by our Government.
What if…
Personnel changes made by Our Government in the CIA, FBI, Our Military & other Critical Departments were made to weaken them, take away their response time, & not allow them to do their jobs as they should be done to protect the People & Our County.
What if…
News is being censored by our Government, by not allowing AP & Other News Sources to attend freely, & the Government only giving them the censored, expurgated news that they want out to the public. This is the true loss of Democracy. Accurate, true reporting holds power to account!
What if…
Once again Climate Change is ignored, because Scientists have been prevented by our Government, to do their job, & are prevented from giving complete unabridged weather reports to the American People. What if the decision has been made for us to “Drill Baby Drill” and Americans have no say in what is really going on.
What if…
It is not the immigrants, DEI, sex, race or color but the theorist & close minded fears that are the problem.
What if…
All the cutting of wasteful Government spending that is going on, is actually Restructuring and weakening of Our Government’s Democracy, by a coup for an immediate dictator take over by Donald Trump.
What if…
The civilian work force jobs that were cut & are being cut, happened because they stand in the way of a coup or individual take-over of our country; & removed because they are the check & balances to protect our government and country as set-forth by our Forefathers.
What if…
Those insurrectionist, pardoned by President Trump from jail, continue to be his army & are on, “Stand Down and Stand By” mode.
What if…
Donald Trump & Putin together have bigger plans than Ukraine.
What if…
Cash had been handed out during door-to-door Presidential Campaigning to those who were in circumstances, to grave too reject the cash.
What if…
We, the American People, all sit quietly and wait for someone else to speak up, for humanity, values and saving our “America”, while Lies, Bullying, Yelling, Threats, Strong Arming, “Fake News” and Under Mining takes place.
What if…
It is unbelievable & frightening to think that loosing Democracy could be happening in America, especially by our own. But being alert, thinking that it actually could happen here, having an open mind, not taking anything for granted, NOT turning on each other, & finding common ground, may be our only hope and way to save it from happening!
Trump moved to Russia with Putin and
What if…
those of their same beliefs move there too.
We all take a crash course in the meaning of the Constitution & the Declaration of Independence, before it’s to late. Maybe they should be taught in our schools so our future generations understand them and what is at stake for America everyday.
What if…
It is thought, “that is not what Trump is doing”, he is showing power & making America Great Again.! Has his actions, style of compromise & ways of negotiating by putting others down, being rude, using people as scapegoats, strutting-his-stuff & being the tough big guy really the diplomatic way we Americans want to be represented? Fear & being push around only works for so long before there are consequences. It’s not impressive and only effective for so long. Television is not real life!
What if…
America is already Great! America has been know by the European countries since WWII as advancing mankind by our Diplomacy, Humanity and “Peace through Peace”. We have not always gotten it right, but we are human, & never quit working hard to get it right. America has gotten much more right than wrong! Lets not let one President throw that away and throw the American People under the bus because times are tough & he wants to rule not just America but the whole continent America is on.
What if…
You read the book “How to Stand Up to a Dictator” written by Maria Ressa, about the Philippine’s voted-in “Go Big – Go Fast” take-over President that took there Democracy from their country. His lies were heard & read so many times, they became facts.
Or Google the facts of Poland & other countries on how they lost their democracy. Its been going on for years. Let’s not let it be our turn. Maybe things only get better for us, when they get better for everyone!
