Gutting of civil service supports leaves us all stranded

Historians write that Hitler took six weeks to destroy the democracy of Germany before World War II. In real time, Don and Elon have taken about a month.

As we witness spineless elected government officials of both parties morph into stunned zombies, as if they are viewing a video game, we as a democracy will cease to exist.

I certainly have not cared much for Democrats, they helped foster this mess, however, the Goldwater conservatives have also failed to keep pace with our country’s death.

Do you really think Don and Elon really give a damn about us working men and women? We have been robotically programmed to believe bad is good, stupid is great, and culture wars are the new “in” thing.

Of course, to hell with the planet we live on. Remember when pot was deadly and smoking nicotine was good for your health? I do. Putin and his disinformation campaign have won the psy-op war. George Orwell’s “1984” was not only profound, but also predictive.

Social and civil service and support is like someone giving you a gallon of gas when you run out on the highway. It’s not to fill up your tank, but to get you going to the gas station. Without it, we all will be stranded on the side of the road. Who will save you clowns now?

Save yourself.
