Why Are the Democrats So Damn Silent?

The leaders who pushed us to give everything we had, asked us to have their backs, and promised to fight for us fled the scene and have become eerily quiet since the election — which is quite odd, considering we were told, “When we fight, we win!”

They are nowhere to be found, and we are left to deal with the ignorance and disgust and the silence and complicity of Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and the other Democrats who don't seem to be fighting much.

So, who is battling to codify Roe v Wade to protect women who are dying because they can’t get the proper healthcare they need to end a pregnancy when things go wrong? These are our daughters, mothers, sisters, aunts, nieces, etc.

Who will be there to assuage the fears of Latinos and protect them from a madman who’s working on deporting them and their families?

Who's standing in the gap for the LGBTQIA+ community, who is left to fend off their hateful enemies alone — where is their protection?

What about the middle class and all of the federal workers losing their jobs so the convicted felon and his oligarchs can get more significant tax cuts? How will they be protected?

And then our elders. Who will go to bat for them when the fake doge agency goes for Social Security and Medicare as Elon is doing now? These are our parents and our grandparents he's attacking.

Who's considering the families that depend on Medicaid to get along?

And what about our Department of Education? What happens to our children whose parents can’t afford private schools and staff members who've already lost their jobs?

More importantly, what about our democracy, the Republic, “if we can keep it?”

It is hard to believe that without verifying the possibility of a hacked election, they were so willing to turn over power to a convicted felon whose only goal is to destroy America and mark it for autocratic rule.

And here we are, again, normalizing the lunacy and unhinged behavior of a diminishing man desperate to be a king.

It’s simply unbelievable and problematic that we’re still conducting business as usual at this immensely critical time in our nation’s history, ignoring his plan to destroy our Constitution and allowing private entities like Elon Musk to gain access to our private data and dismantle programs that will crush so many families.

This is not just about Trump’s vendettas but about the potential threats to our freedom of information and expression.

This Is A Five-Alarm Fire ...

It seems that America and the powers that be have yet to learn their lesson about taking Trump at his word.

He told us he wanted to be a dictator on day one.

He told us that he wanted to pull us out of NATO.

He told us he wanted to use our military to help deport immigrants and stop protests.

He told us he thinks women should be punished for having to end a pregnancy.

He told us he wants to get rid of our educational system.

He told us he wants to eliminate our agencies so all control falls under him.

He told us he would start trade wars, but he lied about who would foot the bill; American consumers would suffer the costs of his trade wars.

On and on it goes …

That Said --

How is it that one man can destroy an entire nation with no guardrails and no accountability for his actions?

And how is it that not a single government agency or state or federal court system in this country has been able to hold him culpable for his crimes?

Final Thoughts:

Perhaps we wouldn’t be on the precipice of disaster if Garland had done his job without fear of appearing political and the corrupt SCOTUS hadn’t given him immunity.

So, I humbly ask, and pardon me if I seem a little pissed …

But where the F.U.C.K IS THE SILENT AUTHORITY who was supposed to fight for us the way we fought for them — because, as we were told, “When we fight, we win!”

Well, it seems no one is fighting for us anymore.

I hope I’m wrong because the urgency of the situation cannot be overstated.
