Today's MOZEN: When Will It End

Illustration by Kaya Mar

 After so many months of dealing with the chaos created by the Covid-19 virus, virtually all of us are suffering from some version of so-called Pandemic Fatigue. It has been so taxing in one form or another to everyone that we just want it to be over.

However, we cannot simply close our eyes, think hard and true, and make this horrible malady go away. We may be tired, but the virus is NOT. It is relentless in its attacks. Therefore, we must remain vigilant. However, if we do remain so and practice what science tells us we must do to survive, we will get our lives back.

The same can be said for lame duck President Donald J. Trump and his entire corrupt administration.

I am so fucking sick and tired of his relentless bullshit that I'm finding it difficult to wait and see him booted out of the White House, kicking and screaming if necessary, on 1/20/2021.

I want him/them gone NOW.

Mr. Trump's mendacity knows no bounds. And, I use the word mendacity because it means more than simply lying - calling it just lying would be like saying the Titanic was merely a cruise ship. We all tell small white lies. It makes us human. But, mendacity is willful lying to the point where it becomes a way of life, a means to an end, any end, just as long as it benefits only you.

And, his constant fabrication of election law misdeeds with NO supporting facts is ripped right from the pages of the Joseph Goebbels' handbook:

 “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”*

I have resisted from the beginning of this corrupt administration's origins to compare them to the Nazis. Although there was sufficient evidence to at least suggest a connection I felt it, perhaps, too great a leap. Well, not any more!!

If the god damned shoe fits, they must wear it.

This abhorrent man, nothing more that a Reality TV Show Host, is mustering every falsehood, every exaggeration, every flat out fabrication in a desperate effort to hold on to power - a power that was NEVER his to begin with. THAT power belongs to the people and it's time to GIVE IT BACK.

Trump supporters, if you have ANY decency left, you will demand that this sham of a leader cease his indiscriminate assault on OUR DEMOCRACY. It's simply a disgrace from a man history will label as such.
