What do you expect from your government? In his inauguration speech, John F. Kennedy said: “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” This was 1960 and does not have relevance to our government in 2017. Today’s administration in Washington is attempting to destroy all of the advances made by JFK, and even FDR. The majority of the American people have a right to expect more from their elected officials in Washington. The intention of our founding fathers was to establish a ‘democratic republic.’ The people elect representatives who are intended to support their needs and wishes. This no longer exists. Our nation has become an oligarchy and is rushing towards fascism.

We, the people, are the United States of America and it’s past time for us to stand up and demand more. This is no time for cowardice or timidity. Death is a misleading term. If the human spirit dies, the demise of an individual happens long before the end of physical existence.

Trump has an agenda which has no relationship to the promises he made to his ignorant supporters. He is using his office and his party to move America into an autocratic society. The least intelligent individuals in America, including Lyin Paul Ryan and Mitch ‘the traitor’ McConnell are supporting his efforts to destroy the United States of America. Trump has a singular goal; to increase his personal wealth and control the future of America, insuring that the wealthy will control the future of a once respected and democratic nation.

If you doubt that any of this has credibility, examine Russia today, and invest a little time into the history of Nazi Germany in the 1930’s and how it used a nationalistic effort to control the population of an entire nation. Hitler and his circle of sinners became a more trusted body of villains than the press and detractors of the ruling party. A single political entity replaced deliberation and compromise in the parliament as one man and one demonic party assimilated control of the nation and its people. If this does not sound familiar to you, you are not paying attention.

The existence of the nation created by our founding fathers is in great danger. Extreme partisanship and nationalism based on white supremacy is in its early stages. The one-percent, supported by an illegitimate president is succeeding in the creation of a plutocracy. A plutocracy cannot survive in a democracy; fascism must become the acceptable form of government.

Please do not dismiss my allegations as the insane rants of another conspiracy theorist. Challenge the media; especially the television “news” broadcasts who are hiding the truth about Trump’s intentions. They have supported him since June of 2015.

I am a patriot. I would gladly die to support the Constitution and the rights of all of the people of my country. I refuse to accept slavery as a normal way of life. I will not allow myself and those I love to be brainwashed by an immoral and anti-American government.

Join me or accept fascism as your new system of government, and shout “Sieg Heil” whenever Trump appears on television.

Please re-post; thank you.
