We’re living in a nightmare of our own apathy’s making, and it’s time for everyone to take their heads out of their asses. Democracy is under attack, fascism is on the rise, and 45’s anti-democratic rhetoric has created a full-blown crisis right in front of our eyes. Yet, instead of standing up, too many are still acting like life’s just one big party—ignoring reality, rights, and all that “boring” stuff that actually matters.
I’ve been calling this out for decades. Thirty years of warning friends, family, professors—hell, even writing to Black media and celebs—only to be brushed off like I was the crazy one. Since 2018, I’ve been screaming it louder, watching it all play out exactly as I said it would. Even my professors looked at me like I was nuts. And now, here we are. Shocked? Really? I told y’all this was coming.
But it wasn’t just 45 or his cronies. Oh no, I saw it in every corner of society. No court, not even the Supreme Court, defended my father—a WWII war hero. Nobody. As he lay dying, bleeding out from neglect, a nurse had the audacity to question me at his deathbed because, in her twisted mind, we didn’t “match” enough for her liking. I saw this coming in crystal-clear 8K seven years ago. Lawyers with no ethics protected every move of those who failed him—even the one who was supposed to be on my side.
And the worst part? OUR apathy. Nobody gave a damn. It wasn’t their problem, it wasn’t their anointed one dying, and they had parties to go to. Meanwhile, I was the “drag” for daring to talk about reality, rights, and the law. I was ignored for dead—brushed off because my warnings poked at their precious egos.
So now, here we are. 45 broke laws, insulted you to your face, and openly plotted to dismantle democracy. And still, people act shocked. If the lies about a stolen election, the attacks on truth itself, and the threats to punish imagined enemies didn’t convince you, then what will?
This isn’t about “I told you so.” It’s about accountability. The truth was always in plain sight. We’ve let hatred weigh more than love, egos stand taller than action, and distractions blind us to what matters most. If this isn’t a divine lesson, I don’t know what is.
I pray we learn it fast, before it’s too late. The time to act is now. Take the blinders off. Stop clutching your pearls. Wake up, people. The party’s over.
