A COUP IN THE US AND LESSONS FOR OTHERS

An attempted coup by Trump. So finally US behaves like a banana republic. Thugs and Trump bhakts breach security and enter capital hill , house of US parliament, and assult all those there. Force entry towards Congressmen and women and who ran for shelter. Four dead and many injured. A huge security failure. Imagine how easy it would be for terrorists to have got in and kill politicians and officials! An event yhat is deadlier than the Indian parliamemt attack.

Here are vital questions you may ponder over and ignore at your peril.

How can the US preach other nations now? Will the US blame Russia or China for this also? Or is this not their own doing? Will the US experience be a lesson to other democracies on how such misplaced ideaology can harm democracy and propagate one person's personality and selfish interest? How deep is the divide of people and how did those who manage a personality cult following, acheive this divide. How weak institutions, as in some nations, can aid and abet this shocking assult on liberty and the exercise of free will.
Why such blind following , radicalised and brainwashed to obey and act as per one mans command, is a cancer affecting the democratic world. Does it not expose the dangers of psedo nationalism, religious divide, racist and castist divide and dangers of politicicing the defence forces?
Make no mistake This is a warning. From one of the best democracies in the world. A time of reconing. You can hang your head in shame along with Americans , express your anguish and then go back to our self centered living. Alternately , you can take a pledge not to keep quite and to promise yourself not to allow individuals or demogauges to influence and then control your thoughts. To defend the ideas of liberty , free will , liberal values and respect for humans.
