America was granted the unique opportunity to take a look at what’s really “behind the curtain.” Thanks to the unprecedented tenure of outsider Donald J. Trump as president, we were finally shown just how deep and wide the “swamp” truly is. More than anything else, I am thankful to the Trump presidency for that.
When Toto pulled back the curtain, we could see the wizard turning dials. When President Trump pulled back the curtain, even he was shocked by what he saw. The curtain went on and on, and to this day, it is still being pulled back. Behind that curtain is most of Congress and the Supreme Court, governors, mayors, business leaders, so-called scientists, school boards, and most of the media, and the list continues to grow every day. The big difference is that we now have a new wizard named Joe Biden, a lifelong politician who doesn’t even know or care that he is not hidden behind a curtain. It is rather like “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” in that everyone now sees what is going on. It is no longer a secret, but even though people care, no one seems able to do anything about it. In true Orwellian fashion, the stories are changed for tomorrow’s papers, and those who speak out are silenced “for the public good.” But the main issue has become, “What are we going to do about it, and who will lead the charge?”
