Doomsday Civil War: A Post-Apocalyptic Survival Thriller (The Doomsday Series Book 5)
Page 28
Today, there are many battle fronts. Media—news, entertainment, and social, is a major battlefield. The halls of Congress and within the inner workings of governments at all levels, is another. Between Americans based upon class warfare, cultural differences, and race-religion-gender, pervades every aspect of our lives.
Make no mistake, on both sides of the political spectrum, a new generation of leaders has emerged who’ve made fueling our divisions their political modus operandi. I remember the bipartisan efforts of Ronald Reagan and Tip O’Neill in the eighties. Also, Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich in the mid-nineties. The turn of the century hasn’t provided us the types of bipartisan working relationships that those leaders of the recent past have generated.
So, here we are at each other’s throats. What stops the political rancor and division? The answer to this question results in even more partisan arguments and finger-pointing.
Which leads me to the purpose of the Doomsday series. The term doomsday evokes images of the end of times, the day the world ends, or a time when something terrible or dangerous will happen. Sounds dramatic, but everything is relative.
I’ve repeated this often, and I will again for those who haven’t heard it.
All empires collapse eventually. Their reign ends when they are either defeated by a larger and more powerful enemy, or when their financing runs out. America will be no exception.
Now, couple this theory with the words often attributed to President Abraham Lincoln in an 1838 speech interpreted as follows:
America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
The Doomsday series depicts an America hell-bent upon destroying itself. It is a dystopian look at what will happen if we don’t find a way to deescalate the attacks upon one another. Both sides will shoulder the blame for what will happen when the war of words becomes increasingly more violent to the point where one side brings out the big guns.
That’s when an ideological battle will result in bloodshed of innocent Americans caught in the crossfire. Truly, for the future of our nation, doomsday would be upon us.
Thank you for reading with an open mind and not through the lens of political glasses. I hope we can come together for the sake of our families and our nation. God bless America.
