Alas, I wish I were blissfully unaware of the implications of oligarchy, autocracy, unconstitutional authoritarianism, or of certain overtly corrupt felons who would hitch their apple cart onto a celebration of the founding of our country's military in order to self-aggrandize their delusions of unrestrained power and wealth, but sadly, I am not. Thanks to decades of studying world history, along with having a thorough study of Trump's immoral cupidity over the years, I know that such a man and those who follow him, only blindly march in one direction that ultimately ends in irreparable harm to a nation and its citizens.
I'd love to celebrate our Military, especially since my family members and ancestors have been serving in its military since the Revolutionary war, but honestly I find what is now happening in our country to be a moral offense to humanity.
Furthermore, I say it with 100% conviction that the MAGA Republican zealots are no longer a party that serves the best interests of the American people. Simply put, MAGA has become a death cult.
When a political party devotes 1 trillion plus dollars to its military industrial complex while cutting needed funds for medical research, healthcare, and food assistance to the poor which will lead to thousands of deaths, then that political party has become a death cult.
When a political party enables laws that make it easier to buy guns, silencers and near military grade automatic weapons which will invariably lead to more mass shootings, then that political party is a death cult.
When a political party allows its citizens to be swept up in raids and set off to foriegn concentration camps, then that political party is a death cult.
When a political party brings under its umbrella the toxic dogma of Christian Nationalism which calls for the exclusion and/or death of non-Christians, people of color, and anyone who is LGBTQ, then that political party is a death cult.
When a political party is bought and paid for by oligarchical billionaires who are doomsday preppers, like Peter Thiel, who openly hold contempt for 99% of the world's population and see us all as expendable assets for their greed, then that party is a death cult.
And when the leader of this political party not only caters to these deadly policies but also views the majority of citizens as feudal slaves whose well being is dependent on their fealty to his whims, which goes counter to every ideal set forth in the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, then he and his death cult party need to be hastily removed from power before they can commit a genocide!
So, yes, I'm pretty sure I know the reasoning for my "No Kings!" Protest. Do you?
Surely as a writer of erotica, you understand the perils from the Christian Nationalist sector of the Republican party? One only need to look for examples of this sexual censorship in laws passed in Texas or Oklahoma to see what's in store for the rest of the country if theses sexually repressed maniacs are allowed to enact their dreams of banning pornography and free expression. This alone should give you reason enough to be out protesting on June 14th!
I am part of the 'Christian Nationalism' you mention and I say that knowing full well you simply use that terminology in an attempt to virtue signal to others like yourself.
I will be watching the parade celebrating the 250th Birthday of what is now the US Army and drinking a beer while I do it. My wife will join me as well as several friends and neighbors.
I will, for a brief moment, think of you and your rather violent imagery you created to protest something you feel very strongly about. But only for a moment. After that brief moment I will sit down at my computer and write another erotic short story and share it here and some people will love it, some will hate it, and I will keep on being perfectly happy in my life untroubled by your concerns for the state of this country. You actively seek out the bad things about it and that is exactly why I am so much happier than you.
I have no problem with anyone who proclaims to be Christian and does Christian acts of kindness for strangers and preaches empathy for others and helps those who are less well off than they are. It's only those who hypocritically hide under the pages of the bible to give themselves a pass for preaching vile hate, inequality, greed, or worse not understand the importance of the separation of church and state, those are the phony clowns that I have an issue with. Especially when they want to expand that dogma over the rest of us.
Enjoy the parade. It's your right. But know that 48 Million dollars is being blown on that little festival to military industrial bloat. 48 million dollars that could have being going instead into helping Vets to help them with with their medical care, or any other number of programs that benefit veterans whose funding has been gutted in order to give tax breaks to a handful of wealthy schmucks who don't give one toot about vets.
Don't think of me during that parade, think of the vets. Especially the homeless ones you may see on a street corner. By not paying attention to the plight of your country's politics, in a way, you've helped put them there.
You tried to be better than me twice now, and failed.
I will watch the parade and enjoy it. It seems like such a deal at only 48 million in comparison to so many other things the government tries to spend my money on.
And next week I will be spending about 20 -ish hours volunteering at an outreach center for veterans. I don't schedule more than about a week but I will probably spend about the same amount of time that following week.
The only part you got right will be me not thinking about you. You are not a good person and I would rather not waste any more time thinking of you at all.
I commend you on your volunteerism. I apologize for the slight, I should have commented that ALL Americans have helped create the homeless vet problem. But that said I see that this is devolving away from a conversation and into straight up denigration so with that, good day to you sir.
You have no idea the significance of June 14th, do you?

You seem nice.
I voted for Trump. All three times.
