The Republican Party has been transformed –
What they stood for, are no more.
Due to the influence of the Tea Party and several other entities.
The injection of big money into politics.
Koch Brothers’ pushed partisanship.
The Right Wing and the rise of conservative causes.
The Federalist Society’s power placing Supreme Court Judges.
The lies, propaganda and conspiracy theories
Promoted by Conservative Media and News.
They aren’t there to serve the People
But to push their ideologies and conservative views.
And now the Alt-Right, militia groups and QAnon types
Have been added to the political Right.
No longer the Party of good and moral.
It’s that of political wins and tribal.
Because it’s not just the leaders that are aligned.
The citizens as voters have stepped in their line.
The last four years they all pandered to the Boss.
Now suffering an election loss.
The other side is elated – They were out celebrating.
Seeing a win and getting rid of Him.
A chance to breathe.
An opportunity to return to some kind of normalcy.
Yes, a time to celebrate.
Also the fact that history was made.
The Country took a stand.
And to one of the highest positions in the land –
A woman of color was elected
Despite the racism that was being reflected.
Now, people have to be willing to align with truth.
See and admit how they contribute.
Else they will continue the problem
With no chance for healing or path for improvement.
The Right has to admit to their sin –
They go way out for their wins.
Accepting all and everything.
Even marching alongside hate groups and racists.
That came out of the woodworks and are now blatant.
Sadly these groups are not rejected.
They are tolerated, even accepted.
The Right promotes and overlook many wrongdoings.
No mind or care for what can lead to ruin.
Contributing to the divide.
Even showing hate and contempt to the Left side.
Now there is a call for the Left to reach out to the Right –
They’ve been told to be gracious and polite.
All the while Trump and the Republicans continue
With unfair, unjust and untruths.
Dangerous actions, despicable, difficult, hypocritical.
Still creating an alternate reality making the situation worse.
As they refuse to concede the election results.
But somehow the onus is tossed to the Left again.
When the Right shows no appetite for self-analysis or change.
Nearly 80% of Americans believe Biden-Harris won the Election.
But 70% of Republicans choose to align with Trump’s fiction.
Foreign leaders congratulating Biden.
None from Trump nor from many Republicans.
Close to half of the Country still voted for Trump.
Even after he announced, this is what he would have done.
That if he suffered a loss – he won’t accept the results.
Reject and attempt to stall, distort reality.
Act like a big baby – forcing hand recounts.
Proceeding with litigations.
For days, not seen, no formal words.
Sending tweets of anger and scorn.
While Covid infections and deaths are increasing
And the Country is in a tailspin.
Trump is fund-raising.
Staging for his 2024 run or whatever stunt –
Again it’s himself, he’s focused on.
It’s so obvious that Trump wants another term
But he has no interest to govern.
Americans created this scenario with their votes.
Choosing to support Trump and Republicans.
As if they are acting normal.
But again the Left is being held responsible for next moves.
When the Right keeps breaking and changing the rules.
One of the Koch brothers is dead.
The other is expressing his regret.
He has lived to see the mean
That sprouted from their evil deeds.
At 85, he hopes to change his legacy.
But more on the Right have to come to this realization.
To change the trajectory of the Nation.
If those who tried to give Trump another win
Are not now sighing with relief that it didn’t happen.
Then they won’t have any recognition
Or motivation to reconcile
The divide that ails this Country.
Because their thinking and living are not rooted in reality.
So now that the elections are done.
How can America move on?
Voters need to recognize and rebuke
What the Republicans have become.
Release from the hold of Trump.
Stop the amoral Republicans.
Ditch the rhetoric and the politics.
Disallow the McConnell and Graham-like tricks.
Dismiss true “Fake News” and disinformation.
Release from the influence of social media.
Understand what each side feels.
Focus on the truth and what is real.
See the wrongs that were and are being done.
Admit that this has gone on for too long.
And the extremes must be dropped for now.
Aim for the center, to bring more people together.
Although this message goes for all.
It’s to the Right that there is a more salient call.
The Left, offering an olive branch to the Right
Won’t change or improve the Nation’s circumstance.
Americans to the Right have to admit.
How they have been contributing to the dynamics.
And they have to change their acts to control the damage.
The responsibility for change cannot be placed on the Left.
For years to the Right, there’s been no consequence.
It’s time for them to acknowledge their part.
If any healing of America is to start.
