Come election time, these people never fail to conjure up ghosts of the past — for vote-canvassing. They play every trick in their political book to stay in power. They scheme to divide the people into ethnic groups to serve their own interest, effectively polarizing the nation.

They rant and rave about the abuses and corruption of the previous government. Why don’t they look at themselves in the mirror first? And they have only been in power for a mere seven years. They rally supporters at the top of their lungs about past and perceived injustices carried out against them by the Kuomintang. Their all-consuming hatred toward the opposition has placed us all in jeopardy, in one way or another. Is this how a democracy works? And they say they are a democratic and progressive party.

What has become of Taiwan? Why do we have lawmakers trying to pass such absurd laws? How did we arrive at this sad state of affairs? I’ve never felt so anxious about Taiwan’s future until now. We’ll eventually be treading down the road to perdition if we the people stay apathetic and allow the present situation to further deteriorate like this. God Forbid.
