I.
Sarah searched the Internet for the event that took the lives of her great grandparents. Without searching she was aware of two things. They wanted to leave, but were not allowed. They had the option to go from bad to worse before things could get better. Every link she clicked returned a message of “Under Construction” or “This page is currently unavailable.” She tried another browser, soon after a different computer, and then a new location. It wasn’t her; articles were being removed for revision. Content from international sources couldn’t be required for revision, so those were blocked from view by the powers-that-be.
The government was fixing information. Once the revisions were complete, the articles would be available for viewing. She didn’t think they could take the books, but found each one she tried to purchase was unavailable or out of print. She visited the library to find they were pulled from the shelves by order of the government. Sarah stopped looking for what happened to them and began looking for others who were being stripped of their heritage.
Mathew, a student of genealogy, found many online pages to be “under construction” or “unavailable” when he was researching the ancestry of his family. Pessimistic by nature, he figured the government was behind the restrictions. The president’s cabinet was filled with a number of men and women who claimed to be “Nationalists.” A new America was in the making. Mathew wanted to hear other’s thoughts on this new form of government control.
Washington hankered to change how people looked at the past. One official claimed people were less likely to push for a decision to be overturned if they couldn’t find anything to back their argument. Soon a historic event would read as though millions of people disappeared of their own will and not as the target of a regime. All the bodies were mere causalities of war. Existing sites and publications were taken over and with the doctoring of past historic documents, the government took rights.
Once employed by the state department as a recruiter for the Peace Corps, John knew how to bring people together and give them some direction. He wasn’t a target of the government’s discrimination, but just wanted to stop the hate. He took their change and held onto it for them.
In regards to the president, John saw a globalist not a nationalist. Not one who was in support of putting foreign policy first, but the type who put the power back in the hands of corporations and individuals in the top one percent. While this president was the opposite of a nation without borders, he was all about the powerful gaining more power.
The government’s interference with history had to end. There was too much at stake for this president to serve a second term. The American people once worried about the impact government could have on the future. Never before did someone say how are these guys going to change the past.
While the president planned for an extended stay, the opposition were lining up to race against him. A strong candidate was needed to make it a race. Special interest groups gave the sitting president so much backing; the average Joe didn’t have a chance. The hundreds of others running didn’t have a chance either.
While some past presidents were remembered for their accomplishments in office, the sitting president would be recalled for all he had undone. America’s signature was erased from many U.N. documents. If it was an international policy, the world was probably benefitting more than the US and that didn’t fly with him, not on Aircraft one anyways.
The president withdrew from the U.N. Arms trade treaty and summoned his greatest support, the NRA. The president was proud to say he didn’t need a gun to stop the “coup”, that was what he called those who tried to have him removed from office. He made clear guns would remain in the hands of his supporters though, vowing to protect gun rights as long as he remained in office. Like the color-coded terrorist levels did for a past president, he struck fear that the right to bear arms was gone with him. He would need their money and their votes in the 2020 election.
The “coup” he referred to had initiated an investigation into the criminal activities of the president and all the president’s men. People from all walks of life watched as the president claimed his exoneration. His spin doctors flipped the switch and turned the president into the victim, as they claimed criminal charges should be brought against the previous president for spying. His persuaders insinuated an investigation would have never taken place had there not been spying. As though political figures should not be scrutinized with all the possibilities of corruption and bribery that surround them.
His spinmeisters gave the impression all was right, no matter how wrong it was. The president could show little to no empathy for those he found inferior, indicating anyone not conforming to his thoughts and beliefs were below him. He compromised with individuals or groups of people he couldn’t agree with by taking everything unless they agreed to his terms. Nobody wants to lose everything, so people would compromise and only lose what meant the most to them.
What Matthew valued most was his family and ancestry. He was raised by his grandparents who came to the US in search of asylum in the 1940’s. They didn’t speak much about their past or the horrific conditions they lived through. They were more focused on their future and the new life they had claimed in America. Every once in a while, he saw them cry. They would cry in silence and he knew it was from the memories. Matthew was willing to fight the government through whatever means he could. He would fight in memory of them.
The president’s negotiating skills impacted more than just those involved in the negotiations. The president escalated a trade war, while billions in bailout packages were made available to those affected the most by his actions. Bailouts were available to the farmers who lost out due to tariffs on exports. As US farmers filed for bankruptcy, US consumers helped foot the bill by paying higher prices. The president swore the bailout packages were covered by the tariffs, implying billions in bailouts were better than billions paid internationally in bad trade deals.
Many importers purchased as much as they could before the initial tariff increase. This led to less room on cargo ships and higher prices to get the goods on the ship. With so many importers thinking alike, warehouses were packed leaving merchants less options to store goods. No one wanted to expand, because no one knew what would happen next with the trade wars.
Relations were tense abroad and at home. There was a smugness to the president when he alleged spying and surveillance were considered the highest level of corruption. His political opponents were guilty and caught as he tells it, acknowledging only those who had political influence and not the millions of citizens calling for his impeachment. For the resistance, it wasn’t just about Russia; the impeachment proceedings were about every unethical act he committed as president.
Not far in the past, an individual the president once blamed for the United States loss of wealth warned him of deflation caused by deregulation. The former chairman of the Federal Reserve spoke of how corporate debt taken on with deregulation could lead to market instability. The president liked the former chairman a little less than the latter, often criticizing their replacement, who he nominated, for not being loyal to him with the Fed’s monetary policies. The president’s nominee never accommodated his business deals.
Some of his nominees were easy to fire when they didn’t put his interests before the countries, such as the heads of the FBI and DOJ. The chairman of the federal reserve wasn’t as easy to get rid of. By rule of the law his position was a 4-year term and he made clear he wasn’t going anywhere. The president saw the importance of loyalists and declared future nominees of any position would need to agree there was “no collusion” with Russia, no matter what the results of the investigation indicated.
Once the “coup” ended their investigation, it was clear the president had read a different report than the democrats. Democrats called for the impeachment process to begin. The president affirmed the report proved “no collusion.” In reference to people being owed restoration, the president agreed he was owed an additional two years in office for the time stolen from him by the failed “coup.”
The “coup” consisted of opposing politicians and American citizens. Sarah joined after the government tried to take away the fact her nationality had been previously attacked and exterminated. Like her grandparents, the resistance would stand their ground and not go anywhere, which meant living in miserable conditions. Sarah didn’t want it forgotten. She didn’t want it ridiculed. She didn’t want it to happen again.
Once the sites and publications became available they were all missing vital information. There were several words, such as extermination and genocide to name a couple, that were no longer found in documents with regards to the event. As a way of adding insult to injury, it was implied it happened to them because there was something wrong with them and not because there was something wrong with the leader who called for their deaths. They either lost that it happened for the reason it did, or they lost that it happened at all.
The more the facts were distorted, the more they impacted human rights. The biased information didn’t read in a hateful manner. It just spread the hate by taking away the images and recollections of a historic event. Removing the historic account of what happened took away the opportunity for people to learn from the past and ensure it never happened again.
The resistance saw their destiny being determined by a world leader who wanted them to accept the situation for something smaller than it was. The president’s fixers explained to the media the modifications to news archives and books were deliberate and with reason. His persuaders blamed the media for manipulating stories, while they controlled the content of the news provided through their favorite outlet.
When the government began with the removal of words, they started with just one. Then they realized how bad the next one was. After the words came entire paragraphs and then pages. Once they were done, there was nothing left to indicate the loss of millions of people at the government’s hands.
Maybe the edits took place to avoid people viewing the period in a negative manner. The negativity wasn’t in the past though, because those aware of the history knew it was starting over, just in another nation. A look at the immigrants arriving in the states, receiving their number as a tattoo said it was happening again, just to other ethnic groups. The numbers used to be written on their arms, but the government found the ink wasn’t permanent enough to keep track of.
Attacks were initiated against those who were not deserving of equal treatment in the president’s eyes. This constituted for discrimination against those who were poor, elderly, transgender, had different religious beliefs, nationality, and or sexual orientation. The president had enough Supreme Court justices in place that the outcome often fell in favor of discrimination.
While millions of individuals were fighting for their basic rights, a rising number of intolerants found their way into office where they could endorse policy changes with their votes. People who didn’t follow the sexual orientation of Adam and Eve were losing rights they had fought so long to gain. There were groups banned from entering the country on the basis of their nationality. Even those who became US citizens through the proper channels were harassed and ridiculed by xenophobes trying to convince them it was time for them to go home. Synagogues were destroyed and those who worshiped within them were murdered.
A right wing extremist group incited violence on many they considered less than equal. They gave their full support to the president and expected change to take place with him in power. The extremists claimed to be about free speech, but primarily fought for movements that endorsed hate.
Sarah had seen enough hate in her life time. What her ancestors went through wasn’t the beginning so much as it was just another place in time when her people had to be afraid of the government and their power to destroy them. Women of her nationality had few rights in the country of her ancestors. Sarah was born in the United States and had only ever been a US citizen. While a never-ending war played out overseas, women of that nation were gaining human rights and making their way into government. Their oppressors never acknowledged them as part of the government though, and claimed they never would. Until she was deprived of her own rights, she felt lucky to have been born here. Feelings change, since she felt she had boarded a similar boat as the women of the nation from which she descended.
John refused to sit by and watch such basic human rights being taken. He founded a group of resisters that spoke of overthrowing the government and was great at motivating the growing group. “The extent they went to in order to get rid of us leaves us little choice but to stay.” He continued with the thought of higher consideration. “We have to consider our place in this nation and the world, our future generations, and our own identities. If we don’t end it with this run, there may not be further generations.” The group had to live with whatever action they did or didn’t take and resolved they could all live with a persecutor’s misery.
A coup was necessary to overthrow the government. The man was one of the most corrupt to ever take office. It wasn’t hard to get an investigation rolling against him. Even his own party was against him before he lined their pockets. For those with scruples or opposing views there was much to investigate from Russian meddling, treason, porn star hush money, bribery, conflicts of interest, nepotism, money laundering, fraud, pushing for his attorney general to take over the investigation, obstruction of justice, illegal use of campaign funds, and other criminal activity.
The president set the tone, while extremist did the rest. He encouraged violence against any who didn’t conform to his ideology. Extremist, who worshiped him, armed themselves to weed out the squatters.
Radicals from the other end of the spectrum pressed for sanctuary cities that could become a safe haven for immigrants. The president threatened to pull all funding from these locations. Courts sided with the constitution though and blocked the president from withholding funds to these areas, as he had needed the approval of congress to do so. Not all cases could be decided by his supreme court justices. The federal court of appeals had the last word.
Like misplaced people without a place to call home, the immigrants carried their belongings. Most fit all they had into a suitcase that went everywhere with them. Family pictures, multiple generations in some, other than that just a few clothes. Didn’t matter what they took from them, since they had already taken so much.
The resistance worked as hard to get the president out of office as he worked to stop immigrants from entering the country. The resistance had politicians on their side who were threating impeachment, something all the president’s supreme court justices could not overturn. He enforced the “Binary Choice,” to give immigrant families the freedom to choose family confinement or separation, where the children go free. While they worked to impeach him, he focused on his plan to stay a second term.
The government was fixing information. Once the revisions were complete, the articles would be available for viewing. She didn’t think they could take the books, but found each one she tried to purchase was unavailable or out of print. She visited the library to find they were pulled from the shelves by order of the government. Sarah stopped looking for what happened to them and began looking for others who were being stripped of their heritage.
Mathew, a student of genealogy, found many online pages to be “under construction” or “unavailable” when he was researching the ancestry of his family. Pessimistic by nature, he figured the government was behind the restrictions.

II.
Jan 1 – 2020 the president was on the campaign trail for re-election. He made promises to the middle class he couldn’t keep the first time around, but according to him, he’s done more for this country than any other president in history. He remarked on winning re-election without Russia. “No collusion,” he yelled from his podium. That never got old. His VP, stood proud and smiling behind him.
Feb 14 – 2020 the president pushed his health plan on the campaign trail. “Can you believe having healthcare forced on you? Did I keep my promise? Did we overturn that mess? What we have planned, it’s huge. Been in the works for months, because we’re giving you the best we can offer?” Big smile. “No questions, no time, it’s in the works.”
March 31 – 2020 the president spoke about military operations. “We are going to strengthen our military. Look at the steps we’ve already taken in removing distractions from our military. No one else would do it. I did it. The transgender are gone, and we are stronger because of it.” He acknowledged the cheers with a wave. “Last term we made America great again. This term we will make a America American again.”
June 4 – 2020 the president worked from the golf course. “I need a new chief of staff. He doesn’t run with the excuses I give him. I haven’t spoken to him in weeks. I will fire him via twitter to ensure he gets the message.”
Aug 22 – 2020 the president planned his presidential pardons. “How many pardons would keep red states red? Roosevelt issued thousands of pardons and he served three terms. I could serve three terms.”
Nov 1 – 2020 the president relaxed with the presidential debates behind him. “I’m serving two terms. I’m not losing to a woman.” The president worked on his acceptance speech.

III.
“Did I tell you we would win this?” He smiled at the chants of 4 more years. Clapping with the crowd, the president also chanted 4 more years. “Believe me. We are going to do something that no one else has ever done with trade negotiations. Something very special is in the works. How about this new staff though? Look at this group! Great group of people. So much better than the last staff we had. Believe me.” The president rattled off a few of the staff’s names. Music played to pump up the crowd as they exited the stage and greeted the masses. “And I was ‘round when Jesus Christ had his moment of doubt and pain. Made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands and sealed his fate.” With the Rolling Stones music bringing the inauguration to a close, they shook hands and said thank you to their supporters. The music played on, “Tell me baby, what’s my name? I tell you one time, you’re to blame.”
The resistance watched in shock, knowing they were about to spend four more years fighting the rollbacks of human rights. Matthew was yelling at the broadcast, “what happened to the impeachment proceedings?” It was reality TV at its worst.
There was no reason to stop with China when a trade war could be escalated at America’s borders. Mexico could still pay for the wall with higher tariffs. US consumers expected higher prices for produce and beer. The bailout packages would have to be increased to cover further losses as Mexico was one of the largest exporters of American agriculture. Gas and groceries were once a necessity, but had become a luxury.
The border wall was up, but the economy tanked two years into his second term. It never stopped the attempts by immigrants to enter United States. They just changed their point of entry. Minimum wage was raised to twenty dollars an hour throughout the states, but the cost of living quadrupled by that time. The top one percent weren’t impacted at the same level as the middle class. When rules and regulations are designed to accommodate the wealthy, they suffer less than the majority.
The president passed the buck in his State of the Union address. There was always someone else to blame for wealth lost in America. Slides of some well-known dignitaries played in the background, all of the same nationality, as the president spoke about what happened to America’s wealth.
The nation appeared as though it was at war, but it was just the result of a trade war. Many corporations were closing their doors or already closed. Employees were laid off and living off the nest egg they had once planned on for retirement.
The stock market tumbled. Foreign governments weren’t paying for the tariffs, US consumers were. The bottom fell out when China, Russia, countries across Europe, as well as other nations worldwide formed trade agreements with one another that excluded the U.S. The economy that was hurt the most by the trade war was the United States.
The president was impeached near the end of his second term. It would almost seem the resistance had not thought it through, when his proxy stepped in to takeover. The vice president took office during the recession, not long before the depression set in. Discrimination and oppression continued. With 2024 just around the corner, many new presidential hopefuls were about to hit the campaign trail. The next president to take office would need to rebuild everything and make America great again.
Sarah, Mathew, and John were just a few faces in the crowd when power changed hands for the worse. The proxy had no intentions of easing up on the new immigration policies, but the rights he was most apt to destroy were those of the LGBTQ. He suggested they be forced into counseling and more counseling. If that didn’t do it, he was certain more counseling would. The counseling wasn’t necessary; all they ever needed was tolerance and the same human rights as anyone else.
John held onto the government’s change early on, invested it into making for a better America. The president had implored pardon upon impeachment. The resistance devoted so much time into forcing the president out that the only ones more miserable than him were them, with no real change.
The resistance watched in shock, knowing they were about to spend four more years fighting the rollbacks of human rights. Matthew was yelling at the broadcast, “what happened to the impeachment proceedings?” It was reality TV at its worst.
There was no reason to stop with China when a trade war could be escalated at America’s borders. Mexico could still pay for the wall with higher tariffs. US consumers expected higher prices for produce and beer. The bailout packages would have to be increased to cover further losses as Mexico was one of the largest exporters of American agriculture. Gas and groceries were once a necessity, but had become a luxury.
The border wall was up, but the economy tanked two years into his second term. It never stopped the attempts by immigrants to enter United States. They just changed their point of entry. Minimum wage was raised to twenty dollars an hour throughout the states, but the cost of living quadrupled by that time. The top one percent weren’t impacted at the same level as the middle class. When rules and regulations are designed to accommodate the wealthy, they suffer less than the majority.
The president passed the buck in his State of the Union address. There was always someone else to blame for wealth lost in America. Slides of some well-known dignitaries played in the background, all of the same nationality, as the president spoke about what happened to America’s wealth.
The nation appeared as though it was at war, but it was just the result of a trade war. Many corporations were closing their doors or already closed. Employees were laid off and living off the nest egg they had once planned on for retirement.
The stock market tumbled. Foreign governments weren’t paying for the tariffs, US consumers were. The bottom fell out when China, Russia, countries across Europe, as well as other nations worldwide formed trade agreements with one another that excluded the U.S. The economy that was hurt the most by the trade war was the United States.
The president was impeached near the end of his second term. It would almost seem the resistance had not thought it through, when his proxy stepped in to takeover. The vice president took office during the recession, not long before the depression set in. Discrimination and oppression continued. With 2024 just around the corner, many new presidential hopefuls were about to hit the campaign trail. The next president to take office would need to rebuild everything and make America great again.
Sarah, Mathew, and John were just a few faces in the crowd when power changed hands for the worse. The proxy had no intentions of easing up on the new immigration policies, but the rights he was most apt to destroy were those of the LGBTQ. He suggested they be forced into counseling and more counseling. If that didn’t do it, he was certain more counseling would. The counseling wasn’t necessary; all they ever needed was tolerance and the same human rights as anyone else.
