The 2024 U.S. presidential election should provide the easiest way to electoral choices in decades. Even if it should be easy to identify who should win, most voters in the country are trapped in the sludge of self-absorbing and hated racists, misogynists, greedy people, low-living businesses, etc. to ensure that the results reflect their views. Whenever I think America won’t disappoint, citizens seem to reiterate that our country will sink.
Former President Barack Obama has a slogan that he and others, especially Democrats, usually use: “This is not who we are.” Obama deports him in every perceived tragedy, usually to avoid discomfort, and I dare say it’s more confrontational to the contrary message. For example, when gun killings abound, Obama and others tend to exempt the masses from any responsibility because “this is not who we are.” If only that view is true.
The current presidential election provides a new platform for Obama, from which he reminds us that if we don’t vote for Donald Trump, he will remind us of all the horrors that are coming. Then, he immediately relieved any responsibility for the impending doom, because “this is not our identity.” Unfortunately, it is who we are.
Candidate Kamala Harris quickly jumped on the “Who is this we are” trend. In her message of “Unity” with the White House, she sang us all as “This is not who we are” with a chorus of futile hope that she can reach out to those who will be offended by more direct messages. In fact, President Joe Biden almost nailed it to the election day – calling Trump’s racist supporters “trash” seems right to me.
I can continue to do this, but that won’t give us a better understanding of Trump’s control over more than half of the people who vote in the election. On one level, it seems that many voters are so tired of their personal “difficulties” that everything from increasing the cost of tomato to Martini to Bentley makes their personal sensitivity affected by personal sensitivity, and therefore the attention and dilemma of others are not limited. Through this reasoning, any Trump lies to the economy are received friendly reception by the contrary.
The Democrats must fight back
On another level, it seems Trump is trapped in a deep fear that changing demographics is eroding the privilege of giving white Americans a comfortable sense of superiority. This sense of superiority seems to be realized in the economic gap of the white community, providing white voters with the motivation they need to ignore the actual possible economic impact of a particular candidate or party suggestion. Some of the same reasoning may lead to “privileged” blacks and Latinos reaching similar conclusions.
So now that this endless election cycle has caused a serious fall, it may be time for progressive Democrats to finally get angry to confront, confuse and undermine every Trump initiative they can find. This has been supposed to be long ago. Talking about “unity” is a prescription for ongoing political demise.
Take Latinos as an example, it is obvious that many people choose not to listen to or understand racist, anti-immigrant messages targeting them because they vote for Trump anyway. It’s time for those Latino voters to hold that message in their hands as Trump expels them and spits out when he goes out. Then, while the review continues, Democrats are not allowed to take any action to support any plan to “repair” the U.S. immigration system. Oppose any such plan.
Democrats need to remember how well this political dance worked for Trump and his aides in this election. The same dance will work for Democrats in the next election cycle, but only if they have politics ball It must be achieved while always advocating the components required for humanitarian and comprehensive immigration reform.
Again, this is the time to force the undemocratic aspects of our political systems and the inequality they produce. This would be a more specific message about the democratic struggle as compared to all the catastrophic conflict between “democracy” and “authoritarianism”, as if winning the label war ended the discussion. In fact, what is fighting for meaningful institutional reform in the United States is the real struggle for democracy that can reap election rewards and promote clarity in messaging.
The list is long: advocates simple democratic reforms, namely, abolishing the election colleges, and electing the next president with the majority of electoral votes; actively face voter suppression measures and seeks to set standards for national voter access; as many open congressional votes as possible propose national living wages in legislative proposals and provide equality of parenting, which opens avenues for higher collective living standards, namely, governments protect governments protect life and freedom, which is directly threatened by eternal gun violence. Then, easy-to-understand legislation is developed that makes meaningful health care and quality public education the right of every man, woman and child living in the United States.
Furthermore, to remind people that weaponized hypocrisy has been a powerful tool for Senate Republicans, note that they eliminate litigation in the upcoming legislative year to leverage the majority of the congressional seats to ensure their right-wing agenda reaches Trump’s desk. Senate Democrats must use all the tricks they can find to stop this violent attack. Republicans will inevitably try to manipulate the confirmation process to ensure the Senate confirms the troglodytes march, designed to propose for senior administration, military offices and the judiciary. Democrats must surpass them at once, even if it reveals their hypocrisy.
Finally, as Democrats reflect on what is coming, we will be seen as another sad mainstream media self-strategy, a celebration that will be completed in difficult times in the conclusion of the celebration. To make this change, we must expose the role of corporate funds and its corruption impact on the national media. We must challenge the news “personality” that aspires to be part of the story, while more content “balance” has no context or verification and the ubiquitous presence of unparalleled social media.
Remember the representative of the United States
Like the open and ugly faces of racism, Trump’s first adventure in “ruling” was exposed to the easily bewildered population, this time we will be seen as more delusional deaths in the latest and sadly continuing situations of America. So the next time you promise allegiance to the flag and to the republic where it is, the thought of immigrants surrounding the cattle like cattle, among us, homeless children, book bans, etc., and a nod to the savages of the savages, paying homage to the most vulnerable of us.
Meanwhile, I will sit in my perch to watch and wait, hoping that the younger generation will eventually find something that can move them to move them beyond their thinking and put something in danger. Unfortunately, an old man must become the one who continues to say that.
