Two paths

As far as I can see, there are two paths, two likely outcomes, both painful, but with only one choice.

The likely outcome is that Donald J. Trump will win the 2020 presidential election by a landslide, winning all 50 states. He’ll follow this triumph with a decree to suspend the constitution, fire the House of Representatives, close all borders, and begin institutionalizing a meritocracy that will eventually collapse into a totalitarian dictatorship. The president will soon announce sweeping reforms that eliminate institutions of higher education, imprison Democratic party leaders, academics, journalists, and left-wing advocates, and he’ll restore private prisons and deploy secret police. His aspirations are far beyond ruling the United States of America; he fully intends to rule the world and space. There is no title that contains his aspirations so he selects the title “Trump”, a name that will become synonymous with the “One”.

As we began this descent into a hell on Earth far worse than any has witnessed in the past, loyalty will be rewarded with existence, while dishonor and disloyalty will be met with extreme punishment and enslavement. No dominating civilization endured long without an endless supply of slave labor, and Trump knows very well the value of cheap labor. His machine will be fueled by the blood and sweat of millions of people he despises; people of color, people with deformities, people he mistrusts, and he’ll do this by dehumanizing them completely and utterly. His police will round up every type of criminal and thief and subjugate them to face the same level of punishment regardless of their crime – enslaved to the Trump machine. Only those who demonstrate absolute loyalty and obedience to Trump and his Machine will be spared – until… they too, no longer hold his shine. The Trump Machine will not stop.

Trump is filled with rage, with mistrust, and revenge. His hatred of the Manhattan elite, of the Wall Street pundits, and the Long Island rich fuels his hatred for all who aspire to compete for his wealth. He has no heart, no compassion, and no thought of a here-after. He has no soul, no ear for music nor an eye for art. Trump is a machine, a devouring shark in an ocean of prey. Nothing will stop him from destroying the world in his attempt to dominate every single market, every single player, and to prove he is the smartest person in the world. His aspirations are the same as many despots currently holding power across the globe, and Trump will build alliances with those who seek wealth and power as he does; and the machine Trump built will slowly churn and burn the countries who stand in their way.

There is no light at the end of this terrible story, save for one, the final blast that ignites the world on fire and in one terrible moment, extinguishes every living thing on the planet.

The second path requires us to choose, to stand up, and to link our arms together. We must unite and proclaim justice for all. One Republic, united, and under God.

Stop your campaigning immediately and come together into a single coalition, democrats and independents, left- middle- and right-leaning, aligned and united in a stand against the meritocracy of the Trump Machine. Set aside your differences, and offer your strengths to a single vision of a united democracy. Senator Warren, Senator Sanders, Mayor Buttigieg, former Vice President Bidden, Businessmen Yang and Steyer, end your campaigns today and stand behind Senator Klobucher. Send your campaign chairs and leaders to work together to establish a united front against the Trump Machine. Mr. Bloomberg, whatever you intended to spend on your campaign, commit that amount to the party and support Senator Klobucher. Madame Clinton, throw your entire political weight behind the coalition and unite the democratic party. Mr. Dean, today you can bring together people and parties from across the country to stand together, to plan together, to build strategies together and to pray together. And don’t stop there!

The Trump Machine will not stop and it won’t look back. The people who are supporting the Machine are devoted loyalists and they know that disloyalty to the leader will be met with a fate worse than death! They have no choice but to fuel and drive the machine. We need to reach out to the millions of people who are shivering in the dark, hungry for food, aching to work and to care for their families, but are too afraid to step outside into the light. We need to protect them and embrace them, empower them to voice their opinion, to shout out their pain and scream at their fears. The Trump Machine will do everything in its power to prevent those millions for casting a vote, and giving rise to their dreams. The abominations from the Machine will be laser targeted on the meek and the underrepresented masses. The Machine will disparage, deface, de-legitimize and ultimately destroy the hopes and lives millions of citizens and immigrants alike who attempt to stand against it. It has no soul.

If each of the current 2020 candidates and their organizations willingly unite under one banner, share their resources, their visions, their strengths and their collective goals, we have a chance to win the election and take back our country from tyranny. We can unite under a new party, the true Democratic Republic of the United States. And we can re-light the torch of hope, hone the blade of justice, and lift the wings of freedom for the world to see. Embrace the founding fathers’ motto, e pluribis unum, “Out of many, One”, and give new life to the meaning of the second motto, Annuit cœptis, “approved by God.”

Senator Amy Klobucher can unite us, she can share her family’s story of rising out of poverty and living the American Dream. She empowers those around her to speak, to trust one another, and to show compassion and empathy. Senator Klobucher can stand tall and proud upon her accomplishments as a lawyer, a judge, a leader as a mother; and she can bend and kneel before a supreme force, before God and pray with one another. Whether you are a Christian, Jew, Catholic, Muslim, Buddhist, Siek, Shinto, Agnostic, Atheist, Druid, or Taoist; or or believe in the Goddess, the holy trinity, the divine and supreme being, it doesn’t matter to the Machine. The One Republic does not discrimiate based on religion; we all live on one planet and we all breathe the same air. We are all one flock, and we are all learning to make the world better for our children who come after us. Those who are praying for Trump are praying for hope, for health, for wealth and for happiness. Those who are voting for Trump are praying for him. There are very few voters praying for Senator Sanders, for former vice president Bidden, and for mayors of small towns, nor are there many voters praying for businessmen and entrepreneurs. But they’re are many people, millions of citizens who would pray for Senator Klobucher. And if they can pray together to make the world better, to take the power away from from tyranny, they will vote together on election day.
