Trump’s known M.O. is to lie, cheat, steal and scheme.
Even during his presidency.
Yet he earns people’s trust.
Show amoral and unethical – but still the faithful honor him like Jesus.
He’s swindled the man on the street, taking his money.
Americans still fight for him to run the economy.
He organized a coup and participated in an insurrection.
He’s still wanted as a candidate to win the next election.
Under his watch, millions of Americans died because he lied.
He is the poster-boy for the Party that claims they’re for life.
Trump’s touch corrupts.
Never meant to be innocent.
He’s allowed to move ahead not having to show decency.
He’s free to display negativity and toxicity.
Is it because he’s White, he doesn’t need to fight fair?
Or is it his Republican status that stretches his Rights and privileges surface to air?
The bar on that side has been set so low.
Political and presidential candidates know they don’t have far to go.
To get and keep their seats.
A stone’s throw and they reach.
Optics is worth much more than getting any job done.
Just play to people’s perceptions.
Take the Costanza stance – “It’s not a lie if you believe it”.
The GOP is free to do as MAGA sees fit.
Stay tuned to class, color and race.
Narrow laws, rules and choices to their preferences and taste.
When Trump reigned, criticism to him was deemed as character assassination.
A direct attempt at defamation.
Opposing him is seen as insulting, discrediting and disparaging.
Attempts to hold him to account are witch-hunts, political attacks and for pay-back.
As President, he should have been given the utmost respect.
Even when he to others was left unchecked.
Now, the choice words and insults to President Biden have been so blunt and coarse.
Pure hate for him, shown in public has been personal.
Not for wrongs done but because he is not of the right or Republican.
That’s Biden’s crime, his down-fall, for which the right wants him to pay.
And if Republicans win in the mid-terms they’ve already laid that they will seek to impeach.
Forget governing with ideas and policy.
Use your positions for revenge and retaliation.
The task of the right-wing politician.
They’ve been getting by with grievance politics.
Complain that something is being taken away, stolen or lost.
That’s the extent of their political run.
No more talks of solutions, discussions or propositions.
Just hamper on the problems and they can defeat the opposition.
The Republican Party has been attacking America’s democracy.
So many officials participated to subvert the 2020 election
Even if Trump is removed at the head.
The Trumpian cancer has already spread.
The Party’s course is set.
If there is to be a correction course.
It’s to not vote for any Republican at all.
Yet some Americans show little or no interest in the inquiries of January 6th.
The economy and inflation ought to be the priority of the Biden Administration.
If you don’t think that the information of the insurrection is just as crucial.
Then to you democracy is just incidental.
Instead of having Republicans release their hold to the hands and throats of Democrats so they can engage more effectively and multitask.
Americans stay on the sidelines and criticize.
They keep choosing the rocky roads.
Insist on hauling their own load.
Allow the GOP to throw obstacles.
Despite all of that, they demand a smooth ride from President Biden and the Democrats.
Setting up unrealistic expectations.
Dismissing effective solutions.
Favoring conspiracies and disinformation.
That’s what President Biden and his team are up against.
The voters for right-wing are making a mistake.
They believe that Trump, his team and other GOP leads identify the left and Democrats as the enemy.
But they’ve shown a willingness to kill Mike Pence who stuck with them until then.
They don’t respect when someone reaches their line.
They want all to conform to their mind-set.
And if you don’t, you’re thrown into the lion’s den.
So Americans can continue to blame President Biden and the Democrats.
But that’s not where the power now lies.
Their hands have been tied.
The Biden Administration won’t succeed on its own.
It can’t fight solo.
President Biden has been fighting to keep America as one.
But it’s not his fight or his decision.
Democrats are trying to save democracy.
How can that be when they are blocked and filibustered despite having the majority?
They can’t be expected to do all the work.
Especially if Americans don’t vote to those gains.
Or for those goals to be obtained.
If for the next election cycles, Democrats have to fine tune on messaging.
Engage in coaxing because Americans don’t know what’s at stake.
But they can state who Kim Kardashian dates,
Then they are just as dangerous to America as terrorist are.
Their loyalty to, and love of Country are lies.
And they are wasteful of their freedom, liberties and Rights.
Biden and the Democrats fight – But if they don’t win, democracy truly has fallen.
Americans must first have the desire to live as one and want democracy.
Then choose the politicians and lawmakers who truly work to make the will of the people become reality.
