Today is January 25th. The year is 2021. And I am an enemy of the people. A “domestic terrorist”. A “white supremast”. An “insurgent”. I am not alone. There are millions of us. We are your neighbors, your soldiers, your husbands and wives. We are your children, your students, your babysitters. We are your business owners, your politicians, your friends. We are your fellow Americans. What’s happening in our country, in my country, is appalling. And if it doesn’t scare you- it should.
The media and the current administration will have you believe that it was the “attack” on our Nation’s capital that incited this war. Yes war. They blame our 45th President Donald J. Trump for the outrage of millions of Americans.
“He is a criminal!” They scream. “He must be stopped!” They cry.
You trust in the integrity of your elected officials. They swore under oath. You base your truth on the words of journalists and reporters. They expose the truth. This is America. A country that thrives on individualism and freedom of expression. Surely they would never lie. Surely they would never manipulate us or exploit our empathy for their own gain. Some of the smartest, bravest people we know believe them. Surely they would not fall victim to indoctrination and brainwashing. So we believe them. Follow blindly like sheep. Regurgitating the rhetoric spewed from the mouths of evil. We were lied to. Don’t feel too bad. They’ve been herding us for years. Our parents too.
It’s easy to say that what happened in Washington D.C. on January 6th was an insurrection. It’s even easier to claim that the people involved should be treated like domestic terrorists. One could easily assume that the former President is responsible for “inciting violence”. The hard part comes in taking a step back and looking at the events that took place prior. It seems no one ever realizes there’s a problem until shit hits the fan. By then it’s too late.
Imagine you’re a business owner. You’re fairly successful. A dozen employees, a couple of kids, decent credit. You pay your taxes, don’t cut corners. Then the coronavirus hits and you have to shut your doors. It’s just for two weeks. You tell yourself. But that two weeks turns into a month. Then two months. Your doors are still shut. Your kids haven’t been to school for months. It’s now your responsibility to ensure that they are still getting proper education via the internet. The school provided one laptop. But you’ve got three kids in grade school.
Finally, you’re told you can re-open. So long as you do it safely and operate at twenty-five percent capacity. You’ve been open one day. You close up, go home and let out a much needed sigh of relief. But all is not well. People are rioting on the streets over the death of a criminal who resisted arrest. You try to get some sleep but end up tossing and turning all night. After about six hours of this, you decide; Maybe I’ll just go in early.
Upon your arrival, you are greeted by the local news and a handful of concerned citizens. There’s glass everywhere. Your cash register as well as the safe you keep in the back are gone. The TV as well as the security cameras inside are gone. They even smashed the gumball machine that your dad gave you so that they could get to the quarters. Written across the wall with red spray paint are the words “BLACK LIVES MATTER”. You dumped your entire life savings into that place. The only hope you have is your insurance. But here’s the thing. Insurance doesn’t cover terrorism, riots or war. At no fault of your own, you have to close your doors permanently.
While the world is locking down to combat a virus with a 99% survival rate, you’re trying to figure out how to put food on the table. The only comfort you find is in the words of a President who has not forgotten about what you’re going through. Despite the scrutiny, backlash and blatant disrespect he receives, President Trump continued to fight for you. When no one seemed to be listening, he stood proudly and told you he heard you. He issued tax credits, paycheck protection programs, deferred mortgage and credit card payments, and lifted restrictions that would prevent tax paying citizens like you from getting financial relief quickly. These measures were far from perfect. Everyone knew that. But you were able to feed your family.
Fast forward six more months. You’re still shut down. Kids are still home. The coronavirus is still running rampant. But it’s election day. You stood in line for nearly two hours at your polling station to cast that vote. Then you rushed home to watch the count begin. For the next few hours you watch the poll numbers nervously. Suddenly, the count stops. No one seems to have any idea what’s happening. After what feels like an hour of watching news casters scratch their heads you turn the TV off and go to sleep, confident in the re-election of President Trump. But that confidence is about to be stripped from you.
It appears that while you were sleeping, President Trump lost his lead. Hundreds of thousands of ballots were said to have flooded polling stations in the dead of night.
“Mail-in ballots.” They claim.
Election results have always been called at 8:00pm, November 3rd. But it was November 4th and ballots are still being counted. Some states decided to allow mail-in ballots to be counted for another two days so long as the date was postmarked November 3rd or prior. It is then announced that the election will not be called until the following week. Ultimately, Trump loses the election.
You, along with 74million other American citizens, are outraged. People from all over the country are coming forward with claims of fraud. Sworn testimonies, videos, statistical analysis, shredded ballots in trash bags, forensic audits, all presented in front of judiciary committees only to be turned away. Half the country joined together to file a lawsuit against the atrocities that had just taken place during this election. No one. Not a single judge had the courage or the consideration to listen to voices of concerned citizens. You’ve lost everything. The one thing you still had that no one could take from you was your vote. It’s the only thing in this country that will always be free. The only thing that truly matters.
The issue at this point was not whether or not fraud occurred. Because, it did. The issue was that half the people who voted were questioning the integrity of their Presidential Election. Instead of being heard, you were ignored. Not only were you ignored, you were silenced. Not only were you silenced, you were called crazy. Now tell me what happened at the White House was an insurrection committed by domestic terrorists.
