A Dire Warning: The Worst is Yet to Come!

Of all the things Donald Trump has done since taking office—as horrific and unimaginable as they have been thus far—they pale in comparison to what is yet to come.

All decent Americans are appalled by what we have seen but what Democrats and even disaffected Republicans are saying and thinking:

“just wait! In the 2026 election we will vote to remove from office all Congressional legislators who have voted for and supported Donald Trump. “

This is a false hope.

This is just what Trump wants us to think, because as long as we are willing to believe there will be a reckoning, we will bide our time. In our minds we think he cannot get away with the horrible things he is doing. This is, after all, a democracy!

As much as we to think it impossible, we must be willing to believe that the United States of America is no longer a democratic nation. We have become a Fascist state; we have become a dictatorship.

My prediction is we have less than a year to drive Trump out of office because he has already told us what he intends to do.

In July of 2024, during a campaign speech, former President Donald J. Trump told Christians to get out and vote. He told them that if they elect him they will never have to vote again. If you do not believe me, click on this link and hear it from the man himself.

Many citizens will be thinking, as you read and hear these words, that this can never, ever happen.

Please rethink this. Who would have believed he would do any of the awful things he and his administration have done?

What he knew and what none of the rest of us have been willing to believe is that there is no one who will have the courage to stop him. Not the United States Congress and not the Supreme Court of the United States, and certainly no one in the Republican Party. He has eviscerated the Constitution, the Congress, and the U.S. Supreme Court.

The American people better wake up and realize that in less than one year, President Donald J. Trump will have cancelled the 2026 national election. Once he has taken away our power to vote him out of office, the American people will be left with but one unimaginable choice.

If we roll over and submit, imagine what will happen to citizens of color. Imagine what will happen to all white Americans, whether or not they have supported or opposed this President and his administration. We will have been disenfranchised, each and every one of us.

Please share this post with everyone you know and encourage them to do the same. The lives and futures of our children and our grandchildren will depend on our willingness to act, to protest, or to do the unimaginable. There may be no other way to restore democracy in America, just as there was no other way to stop Adolph Hitler and his Nazi regime, and his Gestapo.

Who could have envisioned we would, already, have our own Gestapo!

Let me say it again. We have less than a year to rally the millions of Americans it will take to prevent he unthinkable.

Please believe me when I say, you have not seen anything yet! The worst is yet to come!

Another 5 Star Review of my novel, Light and Transient Causes

New Review by TurnEditor:

Personal note from the reviewer:

“Re: Your novel is wonderful!”

“I have just finished reading your novel Light and Transient Causes, which I found at the downtown Allen County Public Library. It is a breathtaking work and one of the best novels I have ever read. In some ways it seems like a combination of Tom Clancy and Spike Lee, but there is much, much more.

I was struck by the portrayal of a dystopian America, by the touching portrayals of family life, and by the growth in many of the characters. Although I have never served in the military, the details you provide of descriptions of military maneuvers and the destruction of the walled section of downtown Indianapolis sound like descriptions I have read of fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria. . . .

I also wonder to what extent your novel is a warning of things to come if the country continues on its present path. One thing that concerns me greatly is the base that blindly supports the Trump administration’s policies. Donald Trump will not be president forever, but the people and ideas that constitute his base will live on and may become even more radical.

I see that your blog contains many positive ideas for change, so I am going to begin catching up on previous posts as I have time. I am a Christian, so I do not get into despair because I believe that God is in control and is working out his purposes through all of this. I am also encouraged that eloquent, thinking people like you continue to share ideas with those of us who are still capable of thinking and learning.

Thanks again for your novel and your other writings.”

    5.0 out of 5 stars A gripping story with believable characters
    December 24, 2018
    Format: Kindle Edition

    Light and Transient Causes is a breathtaking work. In some ways it seems like a combination of Tom Clancy and Spike Lee, but there is much, much more.

    I was struck by the portrayal of a dystopian America, by the touching portrayals of family life, and by the growth in many of the characters. Roger Woodbury is probably correct in his criticisms of some of the military details, but I disagree that the characters are one-dimensional and predictable. One of the things that I appreciate about this novel is its depiction of the dilemmas that many of the characters face and how they often have second thoughts about their actions. And although the novel was written before 2016, it has great relevance in the Trump presidency and may serve as a warning about things to come in the post-Trump United States.”
