Is it just me, or when watching or reading Margaret Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale”, did you think you were watching the evening news? Have we become “The 4th Reich”? Why do we just sit back and let ourselves be dictated to by tweet? When did we cease to be a democracy? When did common sense and morality take a back seat to party loyalty; to parties that have long since lost their souls and prior identities. When did truth become reduced to an inconvenience to be ignored or denied? When did conflicts of interest matter only when they pertain to the other guy? When did working together to find solutions to difficult problems cease to be an option?
“US Joint Chiefs blindsided by Trump’s transgender ban” is the latest in a long list of these recent events. Independently of whether or not one thinks there is any validity to what appears to be a xenophobic policy, decree by Tweet should be something experienced for comedy relief on “Saturday Night Live”, not on the evening news. I feel like I am in an episode of “The Twilight Zone”, living in an alternate reality. When will we come to our senses and say “No More!”
