The laws of the Universe aren’t built on lies.

The Nation was in crisis. 

Trump’s lie built the foundation for his fellow Republican liars to fill websites, social media  and local news with lies as substantial as a sand castle built on the shore at low tide. By 2030 these lies had become the foundation for our Country’s Federal government. 

Innocent citizens who no longer listened to vetted reporting, or remembered what they had learned about how our government was separate and balanced between executive, legislative and justice departments from high school government class, were convinced that Trump would somehow, within these lies, build a better future for ourselves and our Country. 

These citizens listened to theater and drama, finding bellowing cable stars poisoning the streaming listeners and taking over their listening consciousness. No subsequent reporting was ever verified, or even checked in accord with a respectable source. They liked to be entertained by the angry bloggers. They liked the name calling and the disrespect shown anonymously upon fellow citizens. Trump refused to verify his agenda beyond his rambling oratories. He preached that it was stupid to vote for a Democrat. They liked Trump, the school yard bully, breaking the rules, hoping they could.

Populations were no longer rooted in reality, but damned by suspicion of each other. Trump demanded that the Nation must believe on faith that what he said was the truth. Trump demanded that the Nation must believe on faith that what he said was the only truth.

Under Trump no one maintained their personal moral codes for long while in office, as the Trump base required that all rules may and should be broken. Do, or say, anything to win. Value became what you could get away with. You were a better person only if you tricked, or stole, or confiscated, even using violence as an impetus to control minorities. From local governments to the Presidency, all were infected. All were tainted. The Nation was struggling with an inept leader/dictator/madman in charge who was poisoning the ranks.

There was no confidence in ‘truth,’ as the word had lost its meaning. ‘Through a glass darkly,’ America as a non-reality is now seen.

How did this happen? one asked. Well, let’s stop pretending for a minute and consider the evidence from our recent history of events. 

The Nation is in crisis. 

It began with the “big lie” that Trump perpetuated with the support of more liars, a large majority of the Republican Party with the support of monies from unknown sources. Forces, I believe, that want to destroy our democracy. 

They insert party puppets as legislators. Most of these representatives have lost all integrity, all sense of responsibility to those Americans who voted them into power. Honor and respect were wiped from their consciousness like shit stepped in on one’s boot. 

Out of stubbornness, the believers grasp onto Trump’s words like hallucinations in the desert. Out of reason, they cover their ears and close their eyes to facts, and dig in for confrontation. 

The Republican legislators’ fear that they can not win their next election unless they stand with Trump. Trump’s support was magnified by unknown forces with money to spend on dismantling our government. Blogs of Trump supporters wove conspiracy theories out of the day’s political polls. Part of America has never heard the truth.

Ridicule mocked those who contradicted Trump. Trump would condemn them, accusing his opponents of the very crimes he was guilty of. Republicans’ fear of losing their power grew proportional to their growing dependence on Trump’s base supporters. 

What these legislators don’t seem to understand is that they’ve already lost their real power–the recognition of what was once a truth within themselves. Perhaps, at one time, their integrity was more important to them than climbing the ranks of party political power and they genuinely wanted to serve their constituency. Now they are lost and wandering soulless in the halls of the Capitol Building.

Their loss of power happened the moment that they pledged their allegiance to Trump and ignored their pledge to the Constitution and the rights and freedom it enveloped. Trump followers just haven’t seen the edge of that giant crevice they are surely damned to fall into and forever be recorded in history as traitors. These frightened black hearted puppets will be destroyed with Trump still manipulating their strings and recorded in history as complicit in supporting Trump’s overthrow of the US government.

“Burn them all down.” In September 2023 the Speaker McCarthy (no longer Speaker) sent the House of Representatives home for a long weekend while the Nation was about to default. Don’t you understand that Trump wants the United States to fold upon itself under President Biden? Are you really willing to let a madman wrapped in corruption, lie after lie, four indictments and 91 crimes, decide our Nation’s future?

Let’s look ahead and see what happens with Trump as President a second time.

The United States stopped holding Presidential elections. Trump chose to suspend the 22nd Amendment about a President limited to serve only two terms. Trump was now in his third term. His reasoning, being that Roosevelt was a gimp, unable to stand or walk alone which proved somehow, that Trump was so much a better President than either Roosevelt, or even Lincoln. Why should he put the Nation through another vote when they already had their President? Trump also gave himself the privilege to appoint the States’ governors (if their State elections were suspect). 

He made his daughter Secretary of State. Donald, Jr, became Chief of Staff. Speaker of the House was M. Taylor Green.

Trump redirected the Federal Reserve to start printing his picture on new $100s. “In God We Trust,” was replaced by “Make America Great Again.” He told the printers just to continue printing. Afterall, he should have plenty of new $100s in circulation, whether we have actual backing of this money, or not.

Trump dismantled the EPA, the FBI, the CIA, and the Justice Department. Any lowly clerk who had served the Nation and had assisted the Justice Department in processing any of Trump’s impeachments, was fired with trumped-up evidence of his/her crimes. The permanent staff was either fired, suspended, or moved to some impossible post. Inexperienced staff with little to no training, were running our most powerful government agencies.

In 2027 the legislators announced that all Social Security payments would be reduced by 20% under Trump’s second administration budgets. To provide tax breaks for the wealthy Trump supporters, he had to cut something. Social Security was an obvious choice. At first, staunch Trump supporters couldn’t believe that Trump had signed such a bill, but he was the one who initiated it. 

Trump: “There’s just too many old people in the Nation. I don’t like to look at them. We just can’t afford having them just sit around playing checkers. If they can’t contribute to the Nation’s economy, they should probably just die. Can’t something be done?” Both houses of Congress were controlled by Trump, but he blamed the Democrats for the budget’s over expenditures on old people. If you never have read vetted news, you for no just reason, could be persuaded to blame it on the Democrats too.

More and more now, one finds senior citizens doing whatever work they could procure. Often, senior citizens were put to work on the side of the highways picking up trash. Umbrellas were issued for their protection from the heat and the elements. Several times during 2027, the County workers would report that a senior had succumbed to the heat during their shift. The rising temperatures in the summer across the United States were often over 100 degrees. Seniors’ bodies were collected under overpasses where seniors who had lost their homes after the 20% deduction of Social Security, would wait for death. It wasn’t unusual to see a senior working along a highway suddenly step in front of traffic.

Some of the seniors qualified for human testing of new pharmaceuticals. Their compensation usually included a stipend, perhaps including a motel room, or a group setting with a room filled with bunk beds. Breakfast was a free bonus as part of their pay. The fortunate seniors would get cash payments. That was the only reason why they participated and put themselves in danger while testing new drugs.

Trump had the administration of Social Security announce that in 2031, all Social Security payments would be cut in half. He directed the Department to find all living relatives of retirees and let them know that the government would give them $24,000/year deduction on their Federal taxes if they took their retired relatives in.

Anyone approaching their nineties might as well die as Trump’s government was tired of keeping them around. Medicare would no longer be provided for anyone over 90 years old. “Old people were just too ugly to look upon. They complained too much and took space in the hospitals” where Covid was fast approaching record levels again, sending our elderly population to death as well as our youngest citizens. Covid was hard enough the first time around (over a million deaths during the first Trump presidency), but no one was asked to mask up again, because it only helped keep the elderly alive. Free vaccines were no longer available. “Our Nation can no longer afford to support the really old citizens. That goes for veterans that are older than ninety, too.” 

Trump also denied voting privileges for anyone older than 90 years old. His reasoning was that they would likely vote against him. In 2031, voting privileges would end at age 80. Medicare and Medicaid would end for any citizen older than 90 years old.

Trump stopped all support for Ukraine. Trump was still mad about his first impeachment and blamed Zelensky. Trump pulled the US from NATO. He stopped providing medical aid around the world to poor nations, unless they had Trump property, or offered Trump permission to build a resort with a golf course there. Trump was promised by Russia an opportunity to build a golf course in every time zone once Ukraine surrendered. (Ukraine never did. They refused to quit fighting and the Russian soldiers brutalized the Ukrainian citizens. They used Ukrainian soldiers, walking shoulder to shoulder, to clear the mine fields.) 

Putin hung Zelensky for treason in the town square of Kiev. He posted Russian guards so that no Ukrainian past-citizen could take his body down. After a week, birds started pecking out his eyes and his body was decaying. Ukraine was now Russia. One night women visited the guards and distracted them from their post while past Ukrainian citizens cut Zelenky’s body down and buried his body wrapped in the Ukrainian flag without a headstone. 

The World was in mourning. Poland was preparing for war. Russian was moving tanks and major weapons along the now Russian border preparing for an attack on Poland. Trump told the reporters that the approaching attack was not the US’s business, so he did nothing.

As has been the case, Trump denied all involvement or responsibility.

In a matter of weeks after his inauguration, Trump stopped all government expenditures for solar and wind energy. With the major oil companies and an agreement with Senator Manchin, Trump was well on his way to overturning all regulations against fracking, oil explorations in National Parks and wilderness protected lands. Offshore drilling began along the coasts of Washington, Oregon and California despite the States’ protests.

The ocean levels were rising and New York City could not pump enough water out of its subways to keep them running during high tide. A large part of the subway system was always underwater now. Ports along the Atlantic coast were underwater and unusable for shipping freight. Storms pounded both ocean coastlines. Florida was quickly losing the beachfront. Built on porous foundations, high tide invaded the sewer system and flushed sewer waters onto the sidewalk and residential streets.

During his second administration Melania filed for divorce. After his latest visit to Moscow, someone had sent her a copy of a video of Trump and his antics (the rumor about modeling  panties) in his Moscow suite one night. Putin declared that he knew nothing about it. Why would he lie? In a matter of weeks, Trump was now the most eligible bachelor in the World (in his mind).

I know by now you are wondering: 1. How did Trump get out of four indictments and some 91 crimes? And, 2. How did he beat Biden for the Presidency in 2024?

Let’s start with the 2024 election campaign. This part breaks my heart (and I truly hope that I am wrong) but President Biden lost the election. It was the closest election in the electoral college count since Bush and Gore. Biden still received the majority of the US popular votes regardless of the electoral college. Still the electoral college determined the winner. 

Remember how Gore gracefully handled loss with the dignity of the transition of power in place without staging a rebellion? President Biden relinquished his Presidency with the grace of a truly great President who in history will be remembered as one of the top ten best Presidents of the United States so far.

President Biden pretty much saved NATO during his first term. He accomplished recreating a strong unity of peace and cooperation which all nations in NATO needed to embrace. He reminded us that we, too, are World citizens.

He supported Ukraine and helped our citizens recognize what a privilege we have to be an American. With privilege we have a responsibility to reach out and help people who will stand up for their own independence. Ukraine has taught the World just how precious freedom is. 

(Let’s open our hearts, our pocketbooks and be grateful that we can help without sending our own children to war. We must remember who we are to the World and then unite again with the true purpose that all people deserve to live their lives in peace, with good health, good works and to pursue a life of happiness.)

The Earth is our privilege to tend. It is ours just for a time. As World citizens, let’s join together and become one of the guardian leaders in our World. Only in peace can we stop the Earth’s destruction.

(Thank you, Ukraine, for helping me become a better person by your example. You are one of the reasons I wrote this story. I am touched to tears and inspired by the Ukrainian citizens and their President again and again these past two years.) 

My American fellow citizens, let us not fail them now. President Zelensky and the Ukrainian citizens have uplifted the hearts of the World with renewed hope of democracy and reminded us just how lucky we are to be an US citizen.)

Right now I am trying to figure out how to get this story published and read by US citizens, US voters. I am not interested in fame…I just want as many US citizens as possible to think about abortion a new way. No one else that I’ve read has approached the topic of abortion as this story does. If I find a way to support “the2030story.com” and receive donations for its publication, or even find a publisher, I promise that half of all net profits will go to support the people of Ukraine. Private US citizens must step up and lead as examples to our House of Representatives. Is there more that we can do:? We can vote them out.

President Biden’s infrastructure bill focused on real programs for the middle class. He supported unions and the right to negotiate prescription prices. Free vaccines saved countless American lives. He’s building bridges and repairing water systems. New jobs in solar and wind energy are growing as we find US manufacturers moving towards clean energy, all with President Biden’s support.

In 2023, President Biden provided amnesty for marijuana-related jailed prisoners. He attempted to forgive $10,000 for each student loan. As a US citizen I realize more as I grow older and wiser, that most of the World is facing similar inflation and upheaval in their countries. All are worse than ours. Despite our many faults, we must remember how we began, and how grateful we should be to be an American.

Disinformation was probably the major reason for President Biden’s loss. It takes approximately seven true statements to compensate for each one negative message that is  heard. Daily blogs and radio/cable voices turn out to be the words that are heard most often against Biden. They spew anger and drama and theatre to our ride while we listen to the radio in the car. They keep us entertained at our most basic lizard thinking level. Their voices echo in our minds through the cable channel that is on for background company during the day. 

What they make up are words stylized with kinetic, emotional energy that draw us in. Get us to listen, then they scramble the words and dirty up the best words and wreck their meanings for a long, long time. We relate to them as symbols of what once was clearly America’s way. Now those angry voices over the radio provide us with their lack of clever significance of an identity or a solution. They are entertainment–but only endure as long as they can make us angry–that magic emotion that controls our senses and disconnects rational thought. 

Some said he was too old, but Biden has set the pace in World affairs. Democrats don’t brag enough about how good Biden is doing. Maybe, anger makes a person feel that somebody besides themselves is to blame for whatever goes wrong in their lives, so blame the President. 

Anger gets emotions boiling and it feels good to all those who feed on it. It keeps the people tuning in to those obnoxious, pretend personalities who do all the complaining using misinformation and conspiracy theories only to confuse us, not to lead us to truth. Their whole persona is only for ratings on the air/cable stations and web.

Names like Sleepy Joe, Crooked Joe, are examples of disinformation that is repeated often by a bully playground mentality of Donald Trump. Simple people don’t realize what they do by repeating such names. Maybe they think that they are clever. I do believe that talk show crazy people continue to trick us with disinformation. Trump’s isolationist, me-first mentality, is never possible in this World.

During Biden’s administration the United States restored some dignity to our flag. Our respect was dirtied up by Trump’s antics antagonizing our Western European free countries, playing footsie with North Korea. Our allies are also struggling to place refugees desperately trying to escape violence and drug wars in their origin countries. 

The World was still reeling from Covid and millions of deaths when Joe Biden became President. Foreign bots flooded our social media and just made us stupid with misinformation, and prejudice. Anti-democratic ultra white fringe groups continued their propaganda in Africa and the Middle East. Russia and China used our social networks to prejudice our own people against ourselves. During Trump’s second Presidency, Trump built puppet governments, stripping natural resources, including in the United States. 

Trump has no interest in helping these young African countries with democratic ideals. Nor does Russia or China. They stole gold, valuable stones such as diamonds, and jewels. The Wagner group was one example of how the new African governments were naive and new to self government. They believed the Wagner group were their friends. Valuable resources like diamonds and uranium were pilfered. 

Trump was leading all GOP candidates during 2023. DeSantis was second by a dozen percentage points above the next four potential contenders. DeSantis was struggling with support money. The rhetoric between Trump and DeSantis was disgusting. Bully playground name calling and exaggerated lies made one think that there was no hope for responsible government under the “Trump for 24” banner. 

Then one night at a fundraiser for the GOP candidates, both Trump and DeSantis, practically holding each others’ hands, approached the stage and announced that DeSantis was going to be his 2024 running mate, the Republican candidate for Vice President. (I hope US citizens are smart enough to realize that Trump would never support a black Vice President.) None of the other candidates had enough supporters, but with DeSantis no longer a threat and DeSantis satisfied that he would be the President, if something happened to Trump during his unending terms in office, they became running mates. (Though I don’t believe that they were ever friends.) For DeSantis, he just had to wait for the inevitable–Trump’s death. The GOP table was set.

A new candidate, a third party, nominated this clean cut, gorgeous hunk of a man, rippling with muscles, late 50’s, who was a movie star. He always played roles where he saved the day. He was an American hero on the movie screen. It was easy for him to pull a large group of voters who wanted someone who hadn’t been tarnished with disinformation in real life. 

He had no agenda that Biden didn’t offer. He just had not been sullied by Trump and the blogs, talk show right wing announcers and Fox. He was handsome and his movie posters doubled as posters for his Presidency. He pulled voters from both parties. He believed in Pro Choice, his only major topic for an agenda. Some experts reported that much of the money for the third party campaign came from Trump’s secret stash of anti-government supporters.

Staying out of jail did not happen for Trump’s loyalists. Over 890 people who participated in the January 6th insurrection were arrested (2023 records at the time of this writing), tried and many of them were jailed. Yet, Trump remained free even though new civil suits were pending monthly.

Postpone. Postpone. Postpone. You get my gest–that slippery, sticky feeling of dirty that makes one want a shower. Evidence was gone–missing. Papers were categorized wrong and lost. Judges slowed court procedures. Postpone until he’s President, then pardon, pardon, pardon. (I believe that’s the real reason Trump is seeking office. He’s afraid of prison.)

Trump continued to flood the Internet with pro-Trump, anti-Biden, anti-Democrats propaganda. So did China and Russia. The Republicans took over the House and the Senate in 2024.

The Georgia case was much harder for Trump to dismiss. Fortunately for him, the Southern States do provide some excellent marksmen who fill their minds with talk show radio propaganda and conspiracy theories. Jordan Gaestz, a middle school dropout (known for his poor hygiene), listened to the same cable narration about how Trump was unfairly charged by this AG Willis, “a terrible woman who must be stopped.” 

Everyday the same propaganda spilled like an acid drip of hate which etched poison in his mind. While he practiced shooting a bullseye chart attached to a bale of straw for backing, he listened to talk radio. He wanted revenge for his President. He cut out a photo of AG Willis’s face and placed it over the target and practiced. He practiced every day until his nerves were ready.

Then one night after she was escorted home by two police officers, Jordan waited until police had checked her home and was sure she was alone in her condo. They left for supper. Jordan knew he was ready. He had brought a dozen white roses which he used at the door peephole to block his face and his gun when he knocked.

“Delivery from the Courthouse,” Jordan knocked again.

“Who is it from?” She asked through the door.

“It doesn’t say. Just from the Courthouse. Room 107.” Jordan held the flowers close to the door peephole. All she could see were the white roses. (He thought ahead to know a feasible room number in the courthouse to say.)

“Could you just leave them at the door?” AG Willis said wearily. She had a long day in court, and was ready to spend the night on the couch quietly.

“I just need a signature, Lady. Listen. I’ll leave the flowers on your doorstep. I just need you to sign this clipboard. Just put your safety chain on. I can just hand you the sheet.”

She opened the door with the safety chain affixed.

Boom!

Jordan pulled out his pistol and shot her three times: In the face, in the neck and through her right shoulder, just like target practice. The police came back from dinner and right away they saw her door ajar. White roses were strung across the top step.They raced to find her already dead.

There continued a sequence of shootings that followed her death. Members of her team were also shot at, but none were hurt. Trying to put together a jury with constant threats toward witnesses, the judge, the assistant DA, delayed the progress until it was urged by the acting AG to put everything on hold. The case against Trump eventually was dropped.
