With Trump in the White House, it appears that our society has in many respects succumbed to a much lower common denominator. The divisions that exist have only exasperated the growing division that has alienated humanity from what is good and virtuous. It is quite evident when over the past 30 years violent atrocities in our schools, entertainment venues, churches, and other places where the public congregate have steadily increased in severity and frequency. Yet our leaders seem powerless to find solutions that deny all the horrible violence that is plagued by our society.
The truth of the matter is that no one seems to acknowledge that there has been a generational decline in morale, ethics, financial stability coupled with an increase in government laws, mandates, and Supreme Court rulings that have only intensified the growing callousness of too many. With this recent assault on women’s rights, the long arm of a meddling government has once again eliminated a hereditary right. The government has no right to interfere with the right of women to choose. That decision is between her, her family, and her God, not the government. As a nation, we have failed our society because we have ignored, considered credible, or rejected our own history. It is a very sad comment for this nation that our elected officials continue to abandon the American public for all the contentious behavior displayed in every election cycle and legislative chambers in every state house and across the Washington wall.
The rise in violence not only in the United States but throughout the world continues, and with it continues the demoralization of the United States. The Trump Administration has ushered in a series of contingencies that have exacerbated the increase in instability and violence that we see almost weekly. For the past two and a half years, when we should have introduced policies that would improve living standards for all Americans and decrease violent atrocities, our elected officials did nothing. If we had done what New Zealand did after its most recent act of terror, perhaps some of the violence we see would have been prevented.
Today, the Trump White House has once again created a storm of financial chaos with its trade policies that have already caused the cost of living to skyrocket. This at the same time that most Americans can least afford it. Now, to divert America’s attention from the adverse economic reality caused by costly imposed tariffs, this Administration has launched another military fiasco in the Middle East. This is just another example of an administration that doesn’t care about the American public. Since the days of Andrew Johnson, America has not been subject to an incompetent and awkward president. A president who could once again endanger American forces and who has already caused one of the worst financial and economic calamities of our time.
With the elementary season heating up along with rising summers temperatures, the spirits of an increasingly frustrated public will undoubtedly flare up against the many reforms needed to stabilize the instability and insecurity created by the false policies not only of this Administration but of past Administrations. . It is quite obvious that the companionship of the American public has withered and died in that creeper of so many missed opportunities. And, with the political discord displayed by so many, it has only underscored why America is so divided.
When we look at the political landscape for 2020, it is quite obvious what the DNC is trying to do. In their rush to thwart a Sanders nomination, they have endorsed virtually every other presidential candidate, especially Joe Biden. In this way, the necessary reforms that Senator Sanders hopes to implement will never materialize. A repeat of 2016 is almost a certainty. It was then that the DNC did everything it could to sabotage Bernie Sanders’ bid for the Democratic nomination. It is about time the public began to realize that the status quo has not worked for decades for most Americans and that radical change is necessary to restore the American Dream for all Americans. It won’t happen with Trump and it certainly won’t work with Joe Biden or any other candidate. Change is necessary for growth and rebirth. That’s part of the message Senator Sanders brings to the American public.
