2024

He said he would make America great again.  

It is 2024.  My country is unrecognizable.  People from other countries stopped coming here to study or visit, they were afraid.  Our government gathered all the illegal immigrants,the Muslims, the Hispanics, the Buddhists the Jews.   Anyone who wasn't of European heritage who's ancestors hadn't lived here for generations, anyone who wasn't  of the Christian faith.  We are isolated from the rest of the world.  He said it was for our own good, making  America great again.

The bombings started two years after the President was elected.  I don't know who we're at war with, the News is no longer.  All media was banned because the President didn't like reporters sniffing around, possibly spreading information he didn't like.  We get texts from the President every so often assuring us everything is great.  The constant explosions say otherwise.

Food and water are difficult to come by because pollution has destroyed the air and water..  The first thing on the list of government things to go was the Environmental Protection Agency.  It wasn't deemed necessary.  It didn't matter after the bombing began, most cities were destroyed and the air was filled with toxic smoke.

Education is only for the wealthy, others need not apply.  They started closing down the public schools shortly after the election and sent the children to work in camps.  I don't know what happened to the children after that, as I said, there is no News.

The States are now military ruled.  Resident guns for personal use were gathered and taken.  He said it was for our protection, for the greater good.  His Generals surrounding him suggested it and he couldn't be bothered to question.

Electricity comes and goes.  The days are cold and dreary, the nights unbearable.

Women are no longer allowed to work, nor do we have any rights at all.  Unwanted children and old people like me die on the streets.   I don't care anymore.  Death is my hope.

There will be no more elections.  He and his Cabinet of Generals and CEO's decided  their third year in office.  They weren't accustomed to answering to anyone in their former jobs, and the thought of it was unlikely.

He said he would make America great again.  Millions believed him.
