A New Start

Since my last post of over a year ago, a lot has happened politically.  Unfortunately, I’ve lapsed in keeping up with this blog.  When I write, I find myself compelled to write an enormous amount, and to very diligently research and source all of my information for hours upon hours.  But I lead too busy a life to afford the time required to do justice to such an endeavor.

Deeply concerning events have recently spurred me to try blogging again.  I honestly don’t know who is going to read this.  But my conscience compels me to try and reach out to as many genuine American patriots as I can.  That is to say, Americans who are genuinely concerned about preserving our constitutional democratic republic.  Americans who are willing and able to hear well-reasoned arguments that may contradict their beliefs.  Americans who are willing to change their minds based on where the evidence leads them.

For this blog, I will now endeavor to write a series of small posts for you. Time permitting, I will add deeper and deeper layers of detail, and link them all together into a comprehensive whole, citing quality sources to objectively cement my central arguments.  For now, it’s most critical that I merely get as much of the main points up here as possible.

I also plan to write a primer on how you can objectively discern and analyze information and the quality of information sources for yourself, rather than rely on others to tell you “the truth.”  That is to say, I will teach the two vital skills of critical thinking and information literacy here.  For learning them is absolutely required in order to be a well-informed and responsible voting citizen.

The theme of this blog is to establish the comprehensive and compelling case against not only Donald Trump’s corruption of America into his personal dictatorship, but more broadly against the so-called “Republican” party’s leadership for its abandonment of Republican principles (indeed, of Constitutional principles) in enabling Trump to do so, and all to empower themselves.  Ultimately, though, the aim is to save this nation from itself…  For the source of our current political crisis, ultimately, simply comes down to one vital weakness: the inability of too many Americans to be well-informed voting citizens.  Too many of us have been fooled into voting for the authoritarian schemers who are corrupting our country into despotism; had they known better, Trump and his cronies would not have been empowered to devolve our nation in the first place.
