"Your travelling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind; a journey into a wonderous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead - your next stop, the Twilight Zone." The Twilight Zone
Some Americans have descended into a Twilight Zone where up is down, where lies are bountiful, and nothing is as it seems.
We're witnessing a tear in reality, suspicion of truth, and an all out assault on democracy daily.
One plus one no longer equals two in the Trump Zone, aka the Republican Party. Rationality is a causality of extreme partisanship that has seeped into Congress and across the land.
Politics has always been a dirty profession where truth can fall victim to conspiracies' and populists with no scruples.
But after four year's of Trump's depredations against our freedoms and the law of the land, we've entered into a regular series of Twilight Zone moments.
Trumpies in the zone have no shame and no concern for America's welfare. It's all about absolute power for one man seeking to become America's first king.
This new dimension under Trump is a reflection of racism, white supremacy, and the Big Lie. There are no limits or laws in the Political Twilight Zone.
Unfortunately Americans can't just change the channel and ignore the extremists trying to dismantle our Constitution. They are very real and a threat to democracy.
No rational American wants to enter this dimension where reality gives way to an authoritarian existence.
It's time we cancel this show and move on to the real world where there are consequences for lying and subverting justice.
