The Unforgettable Struggles of 2020 and the Call for Justice in a Changed World
2020 hit like a freight train nobody saw coming. I went into that year thinking it was gonna be my best yet. Instead, by March, I was tangled up in two lawsuits and staring down what I called a global scamdemic. By August, I caught Covid-19—the bioweapon I warned you about—and lost two friends to the virus. Come the holidays, neighbors snitched on neighbors for breaking the “10 people” rule, and families kept loved ones out of their homes just to dodge catching a cold. All this chaos, and it felt like the economy was getting crushed and an election was being stolen right under our noses. Now, people act like none of it ever happened. But justice has to come before peace. Without justice, real change stays a pipe dream. Justice for all isn’t just a slogan. And neither is “In God We Trust.”
When the World Flipped Overnight
Nobody expected 2020 to turn into a nightmare so fast. The year started with hope, but by March, everything flipped. Lawsuits piled up for me like bad debts, but that was just the start. The pandemic hit, and with it came lockdowns, mask mandates, and a flood of misinformation. People were scared, angry, and confused. The virus wasn’t just a health crisis—it became a political weapon, a tool to divide and control.
The term “scamdemic” got thrown around a lot by those who saw the pandemic as a setup. Whether you believe that or not, the damage was real. Businesses shut down, jobs vanished, and the economy took a nosedive. Families couldn’t gather. Friends stopped hugging. The world felt colder, lonelier, and more suspicious.
The Personal Toll of a Global Crisis
By August, I caught Covid-19. It wasn’t just a headline anymore—it was real, raw, and personal. Two friends didn’t make it through. Losing them was a gut punch that no statistic can capture. The virus tore through communities, but the fallout went beyond health. It broke trust between neighbors and even within families.
During the holidays, the fear of catching a cold turned relatives into strangers. Neighbors started ratting out neighbors for gatherings bigger than ten people. The social fabric that held us together was unraveling fast. It felt like the pandemic was designed to isolate us, to make us suspicious of each other.
The Economy and the Election: What Really Happened?
The economy was strong before 2020, but the pandemic wrecked it. Jobs disappeared, small businesses closed, and the stock market rollercoastered. Some say this was all planned to weaken the economy and steal an election. Whether you buy that or not, the impact was undeniable.
The election that year was one of the most contentious in recent memory. Accusations flew, trust in the system plummeted, and divisions deepened. People felt like the rules were bent, and justice wasn’t served. When justice feels out of reach, peace becomes impossible.
Justice Has to Come First
Peace without justice is just silence before the next storm. If people don’t see fairness, if they don’t believe in change, they won’t buy into peace. Justice for all means holding everyone accountable, no exceptions. It means facing the hard truths, not sweeping them under the rug.
“In God We Trust” isn’t just a phrase on money. It’s a call to hold onto faith in something bigger than the chaos. But faith alone won’t fix what’s broken. We need action, accountability, and real justice.
What Can We Do Now?
The struggles of 2020 left scars, but they also left lessons. Here’s what we can take forward:
Demand transparency from leaders and institutions. No more hiding behind smoke and mirrors.
Hold people accountable for their actions, no matter their status.
Build communities based on trust, not fear or suspicion.
Stay informed but question what you hear. Don’t let misinformation divide you.
Support those affected by the pandemic and economic fallout. Compassion matters.
The road ahead won’t be easy, but it’s ours to walk. Justice isn’t a one-time event—it’s a continuous fight. - Wolf Witman
