America, 2018, Or Germany, 1933?A Story by Michael Stevenswarning
CNN reporter Jim Acosta was interrupted and told to leave by a White House Aide when he tried to ask a Russia investigation question, and the crowd started yelling “you're a liar!” at him, and I got chills down my spine. This is the more like a scene from Nazi Germany when Hitler came to power. Mob mentality gone wild. A clamp down of THE staple that sets us apart, or used to, from a dictatorship, a free press. What has happened to the country I used to know? It started with chants of “Lock her up!” at rally's, now this. Automatons parroting what their leaders say, with no desire to find out the truth. Mindless zombies in a trance, unhinged from reality, doing their masters bidding.
If you'd have told me it would be like this in America, I'd have laughed in your face, but now days, up is down, black is white, and truth is what Donald J. Trump tells us it is. America meets The Twilight Zone. I can hear Rod Serling saying, “It looks like the old America, but take a closer look. These citizens carrying torches though the dark of night are looking for a monster, a monster called Truth, to burn at the stake, then, once they've destroyed it, in mindless celebration they'll dance, somewhere in The Twilight Zone.” © 2018 Michael Stevens |
