We are living in a time of what seems to the naked eye to be that of chaos and confusion. I don’t want to succumb to being disillusioned or hopeless. We have a great opportunity to forge forward to support our country in realizing the fullness of living in a governmental system steeped and secured in the principles of Democracy. We cannot allow our Democracy evolve into a Kakistocracy! Our democracy is being threatened by a Kakistocracy. It is obvious that the current members of our Congress are out of control. We are being represented by politicians that are demonstrating character, ethics, intelligence, views, and agendas that are contrary to the best interest of the well-being of our country. We have to acknowledge their presence, challenge their agenda, and ethics that are destroying every fiber of the integrity and principles of democracy.
What is the difference between a Democracy and a Kakistocracy? Usually, the individuals that represent the people that vote them into office are individuals that support the values, principles, and needs of their constituency.
It has been a work in progress in this country in an effort to be a democracy, to uphold the values and laws of our Constitution of our country. The beauty of our Constitution is that it has the potential of evolving as our needs and circumstances in society change and evolve.
Our expectation and perhaps as we have recently discovered, is that the people that have committed themselves to public service are intelligent and ethical in how they deal in their position in office. Of course, we are not foolish enough to believe that our politicians are not capable of being unscrupulous and void of integrity. We do however, want them to uphold the tenants of our democracy. However, if we our honest, in the last 8-10 years, we have seen the methodical deterioration of our government and thrusting it on the verge of becoming a Kakistocracy.
What is a Kakistocracy? By definition it is a government by the least suitable or competent citizens of a state. A Kakistocracy is a government run by the worst, least qualified or most unscrupulous citizens. What can I say? I feel that as I navigate through the maze of what is transpiring daily in this country, I am so concerned that the Kakistocracts that are infused into our government, pose a serious danger to our Democracy! I can’t believe their words, actions, and the untruths they have used as their badge of self-interest and narcissism. The concept of “WOKE”, is so relevant in this time in our history. We must all embrace a life where we are awakened to what is transpiring around us and at the same time not allow ourselves to be overwhelmed and paralyzed to the point where we are not able to take action with our vote, our voice, and engagements to make a difference. We cannot sit back and idly allow our country to be overtaken and imploded by people that are not qualified to represent us.
