The battle for America’s soul

Two visions for, and of America, seen with the candidates in the 2024 election.
Each one will take America in very different directions.
How Vice President Harris and Trump presented themselves on the debate stage, is a window of how they will perform as Head of State.
How they would negotiate or try to persuade.
If they can stay on task.
How they would behave if they’re attacked.
Not just how they would handle issues.
But what issues they would choose.
What’s important to them.
How they would present and represent.

Trump showed he will quicker tend to his fragile ego, which is of more worth than the people he’s there to serve.
He was easily lured into rabbit holes.
It surely doesn’t seem like it was just a hunch, when Vice President Harris claimed Putin and other dictators would have him for lunch.

In 2016, the donut hole email scheme was enough to sway voters away from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
It’s so easy to confuse and influence public opinion.
The possibility of something in the emails served to erase the solid case she made to be President.
Forward nine years – Somehow Trump being his narcissistic, misogynistic, racist, selfish, dangerous, uncaring, criminal self, is not enough to have people fleeing from his side.
Despite the stark contrast between he and Vice President Harris, people equalize and some still can’t decide.
A woman, who many describe as being one of the most qualified candidates in the run for America’s President.
Without major taints or scandals to her name, they fault her for being the incumbent.
Criticizing that as Vice President for three plus years, what she says she can or will do, why wasn’t it done?
While Trump’s threat to remove the “lousy” ACA with his “great” replacement, after nine years, it’s still a “concept”.
If you want to compare – There!

Seeing Trump live – talking about illegal aliens eating cats and dogs.
A conspiracy already debunked.
As a presidential candidate, stating he got the information from television.
When asked if he had any regrets about January 6th – he answered – “ I had nothing to with that”.
Can you imagine if that came from a Democrat?
He also claimed he wasn’t in charge of security when the insurrectionists stormed, threatened, defecated and did damage on Capitol Hill.
He was still Commander and Chief, in case you forgot.
And note, when he spoke of the insurrectionists, he used the “we” pronoun.

Republicans for Trump – Your presidential candidate energizing on the campaign trail with lies, division, divisiveness and hate.
He brags that he can kill without consequence.
As a presidential candidate as well as the Commander and Chief he endangers civilians and incites violence.
He curries favors and encourages outside influence in American politics.
He gets his information from right-wing and the darkest corners of the web.
It’s often said, you can tell much about a person by the company they keep.
He’s been surrounding himself with the likes of Laura Loomer, who ingests and regurgitates conspiracy theories, so racist and extreme, she was called out by the well-known similarly described Majorie Taylor Greene.
From his words, he stirred and is being used as a recruiting tool for Blood Tribe, a self-described Nazi group.
Republicans for Trump, especially those of the Jewish faith, how can you follow a leader who stoops so low?
You stay loyal to him and a Party so willing to accommodate heinous, nefarious and atrocious.
Living in America has gotten so much more dangerous.

While for many their focus remains on money.
Even though it may just be out of concern for their family, they are erroneously guided by perceive and feel, not the reality of the situation.
And so, not much persuasion is needed to seal the deal.
Unfortunately, nowadays, people will be deciding at the cost of democracy.
Since they remain short-sighted and narrow-minded when they choose.
Being led by misinformation, they are ignorant of what there is to lose.
Therefore, responsible for the sordid direction America has taken under Trump and this Republican Party.
It’s to the destruction of America which is becoming just another unsafe, war-ridden, corrupt, lawless, undemocratic Country.
A reflection of Trump, clear as day since he came on the scene.
His impact is real.
He’s not the only one, and it’s not all his fault.
But those who follow and allow this side of America to dominate, know it’s not by mistake.
America becomes, who her people are, and what they choose to be.
The direction of America, through this election, her soul will be revealed.
