We were right about all of it - D. Earl Stephens

Yes, we sure as hell were. And long before election night, 2024.

ON BEING CIVIL TO INCIVILITY: Author D. Earl Stephens pulls no punches in this must read op-ed.

Truth, whole truth... nothing but. And the truth shall SET US FREE.

We were right about all of it - opinion by D. Earl Stephens - Alternet via MSN

Today is the saddest most depressing day in America since Nov. 5, 2024, when anybody with a brain in their head or a heart in their chest knew what was most assuredly coming.

Somehow that didn’t include myriad universities, corporations, media outlets, and even members of the opposition party, who surrendered to this murdering fascist regime almost before it got going, thus greasing the skids for this homegrown national emergency.

I hold them in contempt, and will do everything possible to make sure these cowardice sellouts pay for their betrayal.
....

Our government — let me type that again — OUR GOVERNMENT has been infiltrated by billionaires and well-paid racists to pull OUR money away from funding good and necessary things like healthcare, daycare, and clean air and water, to pay for murder in our streets, and control over US.


All I can post, but isn't even the best of it. So feel free to read the rest.

From his essay…

No, you have known all along what would happen if this lawless son of a b---- got another crack at finishing off what he started on January 6, 2021.

We all watched that, too, and now because nothing was done about it by people we put our trust in, we are watching this happen all over again as the same damn man and his same damn thugs are murdering innocent people in our streets right now.

As we figure our way out of this, because we have to figure our way out of this, everybody needs to know this for sure right now:

We were right about all of it, and it’s about damn time everybody started listening to us.
