What Do We Do When the Dictatorship Is Over?
Contributed Lela Ryterski
Since the White House is being turned into Trump’s castle, and our government and rule of law is being destroyed, I don’t think the American people will continue to abide by a dictatorship for long. And when Trump’s rule ends, what are we going to do? Go back to business as usual and what caused this dictatorship in the first place--corruption in government; money over people? I think we need to start looking at what kind of government we want. How are we going to create it? The majority of the people have to get on board with it. And I think that, basically, we all want the same thing—to be respected, to be offered the possibility of living a comfortable life, peace and security. Peace is another name for friendship.
I’m happy I opened up discussion. My point is to get people to think about a government (not lawlessness) that we all trust to look out for our best interests; that we’ve put guardrails into place to reduce corruption. That we have checks and balances—overseers. I’m sure there are smarter people than me who can figure this out. I suggest we choose which people we trust, who adhere to our values, to look over the Constitution and our laws and work out the kinks. Most people have morals, and a group of people with different viewpoints can work together for everyone’s benefit. Then, we vote on it. If we like the new Constitution and trust it, we can start a new era of peace and prosperity and go on living our lives happier. If we don’t like it, we send them back to the drawing board.
