Vox populi, vox Dei.
Unjust rules and flawed decisions have existed throughout history. Time and again, authority has erred, trust has been broken, and power has been misused under the guise of legitimacy. Yesterday’s passage of the dárkest bill in history fits into a long and painful record where the will of the people was set aside for narrow interests. Again and again, the interests of the many have been set aside for the benefit of a few.
But history also teaches us something stronger: people always endure. Rules can be enforced, but conscience cannot be erased. The voice of the people, always has a way of rising above fear, manipulation, and even time itself — vox populi, vox Dei (the voice of the people is the voice of God).
Let us not lose hope. No one clings onto the helms of power forever. Change is the only constant. Empires fall, bad laws collapse under their own weight, and truth always outlives authority. In the end, they won the bill but lost the people, NEXT YEAR THE PEOPLE WILL WIN.
