Happy Independence Day, everyone! But independence from what? The 1776 ideal highlighted independence from tyrannical bullying. Yet look at us now: we have a tyrannical bully in the White House who wants to rip apart America’s Deep Democracy, And he is backed up by a cabinet of sycophants who are anxious to bend to his whims. He also has help from spineless Republicans in Congress as well as the psychopathic liars at Fox News.
As a result, military units are arrayed against blameless citizens. Another result is federal agents seize and bully public officials who openly disagree with the president’s plan to undo our democracy. To me, it’s beginning to feel a lot like Russia around here.
And so, on this Independence Day, I want to suggest a few bumper-sticker type slogans in support of democracy.
1. End Russian Style Crackdowns!
2. Putin Hates Our Democracy!
3. Keep the Oval Office Felon-free! (At least from now on)
4. Families Yes! Concentration Camps No!
5. Make America American Again
What do you say, Fellow Citizens, is it about time we started getting our country back on track?
