One Nation, Two Worlds - Marcus Johnson - Bog

The United States of America has overcome every obstacle that has crossed her path over the course of history. Each moment of grave uncertainty was meant for this nation's downfall; there were times when this seemed to be our ultimate. To the contrary, the people of this nation have never failed to reach deep within our collective spirit, defy every immense odd and every cynic, and proclaim ourselves the masters of our own destiny. For two-hundred, forty-seven years, our relentless ability to rise above and beyond every adversity and pass on a more prosperous society onto each subsequent generation has served as our moral compass. The crisis we face today is like no other, and our nation remains in desperate need of that moral compass. The radical right-wing movement ignited by Donald Trump and his allies in 2016 is on the warpath to redefine all that defines America's greatness and has pledged to destroy all those of whom they perceive to be a threat to their quest for power. Furthermore, because of this toxic political agenda, dangerous elements of bigotry, intolerance, and hate are becoming normalized once more and encouraged by the enactment of unjust laws followed by hate-based rhetoric from leaders in high positions of leadership. Whether it be Donald Trump himself, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ron DeSantis, Greg Abbott, or Lauren Boebert, their quest is consistent across the board: fascist authoritarianism and the forced relinquishing of human rights under the law. MAGA is the most dangerous and un-American political movement in the history of our country since the Ku Klux Klan. If we allow this savagely brand of extremism to continue to grow on steroids, entertaining the quest for authoritarian governance and chipping away at Americans' human rights more and more, this nation may slip into a warlike conflict that will not only destroy the lives of countless citizens but alter the course of history forever. We cannot allow this to happen.
