We are an irritated peoples and this is why we will survive this attack on our government by Trump and the Magas.. [View all]

It is because of our diversity. Our DEI if you will.. Other governments can fall when a future dictator starts lying nonstop and messing with reality. It is amazing how quickly one person can take something over.

But the United States, (Canada and Australia for that matter). are countries united by an idea. Our populace does not share a common DNA factor that pulls us together, like being German or Japanese or Russian etc etc etc.

What unites us is the idea of freedom. And the fact that we are an easily irritated people. Our ancestors came to this country over Ice bridges, seas, anything and anyway to get away from where they were born. The need for freedom is in every single one of us.

We have all kinds of issues and problems with our country.. but let me tell you, it is better than anything our ancestors had to leave in order to just breathe.

We are not easily moved as a united front. They are trying for to scare us, but guess what.. even the Magas are individuals first who will not completely bow down. Oh you will get a certain amount and they will seem so scary. Remember only 10% of the German people belonged to the Nazi party.

Using that as an example, Americans, . call back to the ancestors that moved here. They are at our hearts and souls. It is not some shared DNA that unites us.. But ideas .

Trump and company are doing all they can to upset the apple cart that is our government. But they are not going to succeed because of who we are and how we are made up .

With that thought.. GOOD MORNING DU.. coffee is up and the day shines bright.
