1) America, own your failure! This actually IS your America!

There is no bubble, no alternate universe, where people have been spoon-fed so much dis-information that they were led to take the actions we witnessed yesterday! There is only homegrown racism.

2) No, this is the 21st century, information both good and bad is available! This is the richest country in the world, the leader of the world… so no this is not some aberration where half of the country is being misled! They were not led, they went, they jumped!

3) When trump won the presidency, these underground racists and bigots thought they won the lottery, their day had come, they were finally free to be as they wanted to be and they will not give that up easily.

4) For 4 years they have been steadily testing the boundaries of their new freedom and at each and every turn they have conquered those boundaries with the help of the police, news media like fox, the government (Rep & Dem) and the president.

5) And nothing trump did or said could turn them away in disgust, because trump did not give birth to their feelings, they (those same feelings) gave birth to trump! they created trump and his ilk.

6) You think this is not our America? That Americans are better than this? Well we know 81 million of us are, but we also know that 70 million of us aren’t and that’s a hell of a lot of Americans right there!

7) Democrats and their allies have systematically played right into the hands of the trumpers by thinking that trump was the problem, by blaming trump and his elected enablers for the state of the country… they are but a handful of the 70 million traitors in America today.

8) Your voices have been too soft, your approaches too lenient, you have been too worried about your posts and standings to be efficient in the rooting out of the evil in our midst! You have all been playing politics while the game was supremacy.

9) You put blinders on and cotton in your ears, refusing to admit the evidence before you, refusing the ugly truth, that in our America white supremacy was making a play for power democracy be damned!

10) You think you were defending democracy? What democracy? Democracy has been sidelined, knocked out and hardly breathing anymore for more than 5 years!

11) While you’ve ahh and hem'ed, about the coming home to roost of white supremacy, you were taken over and you didn't even realize it! Notice I do not say the rise, cause dearly beloved gathered here today this baby was born a long time ago and is now full grown!

12) You’ve aided and abetted the enemy by giving credence to their lies, by responding to them, without outright condemnation and outrage (most of you) and by finding excuses for their actions, information bubble my ass.

13) Are you surprised to learn that you too are enablers, you too are responsible for this indignity that was done in the capitol? You should not be! It was in full view had you but cared to look deeper!

14) A news outlet like fox or that radio guy should have never been allowed to continue, Alex Jones should be in jail, this is not what the right to free speech is about!

15) Guys like Matt Gaetz and Ted Cruz, should have been removed from office! Mitch McConnell should have been impeached for refusing to do his duty!

16) Being part of Qanon should have been an automatic disqualifier for running for office. Freedom of speech does not include incitation to violence and revolution! Nor does it include mentally unstable people!

17) It is time to stop playing nice, to stop being polite, to stop finding excuses, it’s time to see that our country is racist at its core and that is; white supremacists are seizing their chance to make America white again!

18/end) It is time for us also to put country over politics, to throw out the sedition caucus, to impeach trump again, to disbar Giuliani and his ilk, it is time to put our foot down and start meting out consequences!
