2020 – an American Tragedy

Suppose you had a ship. A tall, clean, proud ship—and you had a captain. A skilled, highly capable captain that would shepherd it from port to port, care for it like his own, and always bring it home safely.

But now suppose one day your ship was hijacked by an imposter. Someone who wore the captains coat but knew little or nothing about the high seas. In very little time you’re proud, tall ship was foundering on the rocks. You and your capable captain had to stand by and watch as the storms raged, and piece by piece your once proud ship slowly fell apart.

Now suppose it wasn’t a ship. Suppose it was the finest, purest, most prosperous country ever known in all of creation. The beacon of freedom. The golden land where everyone wanted to come.

And suppose it actually was hijacked.

The evidence is mounting. Day by day, it’s becoming more evident that there is a big lie, and it isn’t Donald Trump’s. It will be hard for many to admit, and some never will, but history will surely show that, by theft and deception, the 2020 presidential election was stolen—right out from under the noses of the trusting American people.

The deceptions were many. Midnight mules tirelessly carried counterfeit ballots to thousands of unwatched drop boxes. Poll watchers were denied entry. Others were pushed to another room with pizza boxes taped over the windows. Ballots were entered after people had been sent home. Ballots were accepted after lawful deadlines. Dead people voted. Underage people voted. Voting laws were changed to benefit one party. For the first time in all of history, counting was halted until another day. It was death by 1000 cuts. And it worked.

When the ballots were counted, by a razor thin margin, the keys were handed to a corrupt and compromised imposter who, after nearly 50 years collecting paychecks from the taxpayers, knew nothing about the workings of the country.

Today, we and our highly capable captain watch helplessly as this oft befuddled incompetent steers the country we love onto the rocks. And together we grieve as, piece by piece, we see it falling apart.

Deceit, theft, intrigue, ruin. It’s a Shakespearean tragedy of unprecedented, world-changing proportions.

As it was never supposed to be.
