ALIENS ATTACK!

It's happening!

Aliens have attacked DC, and are now imposing an immoral, dangerous culture on all of us!

Of course, this happened a while ago, say around November 2016, and it's taken some time for most Americans to realize they've been taken over by aliens who do not hold to American values.  They cater not to our best instincts, but to our worst. 

They did not do so alone.  They were heavily aided by foreign interests outside the United States.  Aliens helping aliens.  How else could it have happened?

The first amendment?  A piece of toast, to be burnt up and ignored.  No more freedom of the press - they are now reviled as enemies of the people.  No more freedom of religion - not with an imposition of a Muslim Ban, and with one faith (the Christian Right) able to influence laws so that it is A-OK for them to bully, intimidate, and discriminate.  And taking a knee to protest police brutality towards minorities makes you unpatriotic scum subject to fines and losing your job, while refusing to display your flag at half-mast to honor a fallen war hero is considered A-OK.

The aliens in charge vilify immigrants.  They questions minorities and the poor.  They spit on all the things that made America great, and want to turn us back into a nation of unchallenged white privilege, forever and ever, amen.

Just look at the list of citizens participating in John McCain's funeral.  It is a who's who of America, every stripe and ideology.  Two of his rivals, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, will deliver eulogies.  Because underneath the bitter partisan displays, they all knew that they were Americans, and even though approaches differ, they shared a common civic culture.  McCain stood up to the woman who called Obama a Muslim.  W Bush refused to villanize Muslims after 9/11.  None of these men were perfect, but they operated under civic norms, and fundamental respect for each other, and the institutions and country they served.

And now we've lost all that.  We have an alien in the White House, one who has no respect for America and its civic culture.  He serves no one but himself. 

Greed.  Corruption.  Hatred of the other.  They're the gruesome underbelly of America, not the mainstream civic spirit that shined through, even with Reagan.


The aliens are in the White House. The Congress remains cowardly, subservient and compliant, bending to the alien's will.  The Supreme Court is on the verge of alien control for decades to come.

But it's not too late to end the invasion and do what we can to rescue the best parts of this nation. There is an election coming up in November,  and we can send a message that we will no longer be ruled by an alien entity. 

Vote as if our civic culture and democracy depend upon it.

Because it does.
