A Dark Age Is Coming
Only We, the People, Can Stop It.
The Democrats’ failed attempt to protect voting rights by a vote of 48-52, with Democratic senators Manchin and Sinema joining all the Republicans, was more than just a blow against democracy. It was a harbinger of the fact that America is, in plain sight, on the precipice of a “Dark Age.”
“Dark Age” is the term used to describe the Early Middle Ages between the fall of the Roman Empire and the Renaissance, which occurred some 900 years later. Its characteristics included: economic, intellectual, and cultural decline, and the burning of people judged to be heretics. During the “darkness,” scientific inquiry was replaced by innuendo and rumor.
The Darkness which is descending upon us includes: banning books based on race, sexual, and even magical (Harry Potter) content, science ignored and replaced by internet and pundit opinions, politics based on lying and propaganda, and the symbolic burning, i.e., ostracizing, of Republican heretics who refute Donald Trump’s “Big Lie” that the presidency was stolen from him by massive fraud (which did not exist).
