Unraveling

Unraveling: being revealed or coming apart.

In both meanings of the word, this is what we are witnessing right now. The truth is far, far uglier than we ever suspected, and the danger is not over yet. However, the most evil machinations do seem to have been thwarted, and the most serious threats against democracy, against decency, against honesty, do seem to have been stopped in their tracks by people who refused to bow down to tyranny, refused to be bought, refused to stand idle and refused to keep silent. Now, we must make sure those forces of evil never regain enough traction to ever get up to speed again. Never. Ever. Again.

Every dark secret, every demented conspiracy born out of bottomless greed, every dirty deed from the pseudo-religious extremists with their doomsday agenda against everything we have been taking for granted, everything must be brought into the open, and none of the self-proclaimed dark lords and their willing followers must get away with this attack on everything that is good about the world.

The days of reckoning are ahead. They will rob many of their innocence, and show things we might not want to see, but we must never again be caught unaware. Never. Ever. Again.
