From the mind of critic: “If national emergencies are powers reserved for a president when there’s great tragedy, what happens when that power is used for political purposes? Does it open a door where leaders can steal undue powers, just because they’re dipping in the polls and trying to distract from coming indictments? Does this not only concentrate their power, but set them up for a fascistically authoritarian future? Do fears of martial law come true, when political leaders do what they want regardless of what any constitution or bible says, let alone common decency and humanity? If one party backs a declaration because of perceived threats, what’s to stop the other party from doing the same when they get in power? Dictators, Fascists, Nationalists, Authoritarians and strong men always start their evilly narcissistic rise by taking away rights, declaring emergencies when there aren’t any, castigating all media, and painting opposition as the enemy who wants to destroy the country. How do we stop this before it metastasizes? We need to pay attention to signs, but we need to re engrave into our cortex what truth really is. I’m not speaking of political opinion, which has infinite sides. No, I’m speaking of the facts on the ground, and actual statistics we can use to form a strategic way forward, which assures mutually assured conscious evolution, not mutually assured destruction. A president can rail all day about an immigrant invasion, even if the truth is the opposite. Our next president could rail all day about guns and take them away, or about the environment and close all coal plants. If the goal is to simply take power away from the other guy, instead of empowering us all, then the founders were right, that the constitution will end in despotism, because the people will be unable to be governed by anything else. We have the power to overcome evil, but first we must kill it within ourselves. False emergencies, build false idols. Dictators don’t fall out of the sky, they’re born from our lack of humanity. A populace who continues to stand up will never be pushed down.”
