\u00a0Plus, the striking down of key elements of the Voting Rights Act has left state-level shenanigans with voter suppression to\u00a0run rampant. \u00a0Add in the increasingly surreal gerrymandering of voting districts and the democratic process is literally moot for most of America in national elections.<\/p>\n<p>While our national democracy stays the course on being massively dysfunctional at so many levels, this election cycle, a vicious cycle, is a quantum leap in dangerous effect. \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.toppun.com\/Political\/Buttons\/Stop-Hate-STOP-Sign-POLITICAL-BUTTON.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/toppun.com\/ProductImages\/political\/40-Stop-Hate-STOP-Sign.gif\" alt=\"Stop Hate STOP Sign -- POLITICAL BUTTON\" width=\"172\" height=\"173\" \/><\/a>The sexism, racism, anti-Muslim, and anti-immigrant xenophobia reached for new heights and historic lows during the campaign. \u00a0Women, people of color, Muslims, and immigrants have legitimate reasons to worry on both a daily basis and what looms in the future. \u00a0Misogyny, white supremacy, and xenophobic nationalism are being baked into the Donald Trump regime. \u00a0While in many ways this is nothing new to disenfranchised folks, the stunning respectability of sexual assault braggadocio, scorn of Black Lives Matter, collusion with white supremacists, and a national fortress mentality could easily converge into the most authoritarian presidential administration in our lifetimes, if not ever, in America.<\/p>\n<p>This poem is a warning of the dangers of &#8220;normalization,&#8221; and a call to the difficult, lifelong, trans-generational work that needs to be done. \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.toppun.com\/Peace\/Buttons\/Courage-Trumps-Fear-PEACE-BUTTON.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/toppun.com\/Peace\/Courage-Trumps-Fear.gif\" alt=\"Courage Trumps Fear PEACE BUTTON\" width=\"172\" height=\"173\" \/><\/a>I don&#8217;t believe that such work can be done unless it is equipped with hope. \u00a0This poem culminates in the hope that by reaching deep and going long the solidarity of wholehearted people will supply needed power to resolute minds and steadfast hands to further incarnate seemingly impossible justice for all.<\/p>\n<p>Dealing with endemic injustices calls for a demanding balance between daily coping and cultivating a long-haul way of life that shrewdly generates and regenerates, creates and recreates, produces and reproduces just and heartening habits of behavior and ways of being in the world. \u00a0Will the better side of America prevail over the genocide of America? \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/toppun.com\/Martin-Luther-King\/Buttons\/We-must-learn-to-live-together-as-brothers-or-perish-together-as-fools-Martin-Luther-King-Jr-BUTTON.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/toppun.com\/Martin-Luther-King\/Live_Together_or_Perish_Together.gif\" alt=\"We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools--Martin Luther King, Jr. BUTTON\" width=\"173\" height=\"173\" \/><\/a>All I can say is that when sides are drawn, I know which side I hope and plan to be on. \u00a0As Martin Luther King, Jr. so plainly observed and prophesied, &#8220;We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.&#8221; \u00a0Though I would update this a bit and expect to see sisters steadfastly leading this fight. \u00a0Some things don&#8217;t change. \u00a0This can be a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.toppun.com\/Political\/Buttons\/SHIFT-HAPPENS-POLITICAL-BUTTON.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/toppun.com\/Political\/SHIFT-HAPPENS.gif\" alt=\"SHIFT HAPPENS POLITICAL BUTTON\" width=\"178\" height=\"175\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.toppun.com\/Political\/Buttons\/The-Ones-Who-Are-Crazy-Enough-To-Think-They-Can-Change-The-World-Are-The-Ones-Who-Do-POLITICAL-BUTTON.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/toppun.com\/Political\/The-Ones-Who-Are-Crazy-Enough-To-Think-They-Can-Change-The-World-Are-The-Ones-Who-Do.gif\" alt=\"The Ones Who Are Crazy Enough To Think They Can Change The World Are The Ones Who Do POLITICAL BUTTON\" width=\"172\" height=\"173\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.toppun.com\/Political\/Buttons\/All-the-darkness-in-the-world-could-not-put-out-the-light-of-one-small-candle-Jewish-Holocaust-victim-s-epitaph-POLITICAL-BUTTON.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/toppun.com\/Political\/All-the-darkness-in-the-world-could-not-put-out-the-light-of-one-small-candle-Jewish-Holocaust-victim-s-epitaph.gif\" alt=\"All the darkness in the world could not put out the light of one small candle.
