Gather round my Fellow Americans. I have a story to tell you; one few of you have every heard. About 30 years ago this country called America had two political parties whose purpose was to pass laws which would aid all Americans and proudly move their nation forward. Men and women from both parties met to discuss every piece of legislation proposed by either party and found compromise which insured that every man, woman, and child in America would be served by the government.

The first villain in this story arrived in America’s political system before many of you were born. He became the leader of a party calling itself ‘Republicans.’ He described his party as the “party of family values.” When the people learned more about him they discovered that he was indeed one of Satan’s army.

His personal life was wrought with debauchery. This demon, who went by the name of “Newt Gingrich” had three wives. He divorced his first wife stating that she was not attractive enough for him. He left his second wife because she refused to have an ‘open’ marriage and served her divorce papers when she was in a hospital battling a life-threatening disease called ‘cancer.’ His current wife had been his mistress while he remained married to his second.

This demon falsely attacked the other party, who called themselves Democrats. He began dividing a nation which was previously called “the United States of America.”

Several years later another man, who was unwittingly also an agent of Satan, was chosen as the leader of the entire nation. He was mentally incompetent, and his first lieutenant and other members of his ruling body began to ignore the Democrats and rule over the American people in what is called a ‘partisan’ manner.

This man, whose name is George W. Bush, was urged to lie to his subjects and placed into two unwinnable and costly wars. His first lieutenant, Dick Cheney, constantly whispered into the leader’s ear, knowing that wars would increase his personal fortune.

In a year fondly remembered by tens-of-millions of loyal subjects, an honorable and intelligent leader was chosen by the majority of all Americans. His name is Barrack Obama. His leadership resulted in better lives for the people who had been harmed for eight years by a failed leader.

Sadly, his success lasted for only two years. In the next election a new political party moved into the nation’s capital. Paid for by some of the richest barons in the land, these imposters ran under the flag of the GOP, but, called themselves the “TEA Party.”

These men and women were extremists with little or no experience and limited intellect disrupted a political system which had served the people for over 200 years. They refused to work with the Democrats and soon a functioning government became dysfunctional.

The great leader struggled to serve the needs and wishes of the majority but had no cooperation from the Republicans. One of this obstructionist party’s most powerful men, Mitch McConnell, stood before the people and promised that ‘his party would do nothing as long as Barrack Obama was in office.’

Many claimed that this rejection of the great leader’s plans for his country was based on the fact that he belonged to a different race than all 43 former leaders.

When the great leader had finished his reign, it was time to select a new leader.

For the first time in our country’s history a woman sought to become the leader. Her challenger was a failed businessman who had no experience and no qualifications which would allow him to serve the people of one of the most respected nations in the world.

It was immediately obvious that he constantly lied, and that he would not represent all of the nation’s people. However, with the aid of his closest friend, the leader of one of America’s opposing nations, the television “news” broadcasts, and constant lies from the Republican’s propaganda machine, the evil man barely won the support of the organization with ultimate power to select the nation’s leader called the ‘Electoral College,’ but not the support of the majority of the people.

Now here’s the sad part of my story. This man, King Trump, became a far worse leader than the people who did not support him feared. He divided the nation’s people further than at any time in its history other than the disastrous war between the states 150 years in its past.

His party bowed to his fascist ideas and agenda. In just months the party which called itself ‘Republicans’ became the “King Trump Party.”

King Trump and his army began to rule over the people and refused to serve them. Issues which were important to the people were ignored, and only the wealthy barons and knights were rewarded.

King Trump’s goal was to remove all of the conscientious magistrates in the land and replace them with men who would serve him. His latest attempt to place a man on the highest court in the land was supported by only one-third of the people, but he was not concerned. He had the power in the government and was certain that only his wishes would be served; the people would be forced to follow his demands.

I am sorry to say that there is no ‘happy ending’ to this story. The once respected country continues to be the ‘butt of jokes’ from other nations. In less than two years King Trump altered the path of the country called America.

A revolution became the only possible choice. Fortunately, the people have a more powerful weapon than the armies of King Trump. They have what is called “the vote.” They can place in control their own soldiers who will defeat the King and place into power intelligent, compassionate, and wise men and women who will once again serve the people.

We can all wake up on November 7^th, the day after the next election, and find that there is a happy ending.
