Efforts were made to remove Trump from state ballots based on his alleged criminal activity and the fact that many felt he is unfit to serve. Now we have two states that want to remove Biden from the ballot because of convention timing and little else. The first situation mentioned caused all kinds of calls of unconstitutional and election interference, the second situation has not yet seemingly caused a ripple in the pond.
Everything that has to do with the Trump campaign is a problem of huge consequence if it does not go well. An ad put out by the party members that are not Trumpers show that by Trump and his staff that you are either in all the way or you are out and the gates to “Heaven” have been locked. So much of what we are seeing from the GOP and the religious right is intolerance for any view, opinion, action that does not adhere to the dictates of the leaders, be that Trump or one of the equally fanatical religious leaders.
Please take a look at the world from a political perspective and note what nations are progressing and which are either stagnant or going backwards. Nations that have citizens that are encouraged to bring forth ideas and present different courses of action are progressing and growing, they are democratic nations. The ones that seem to be stuck in a time warp are the ones that only one view is accepted and that is the view of the leader.
Not all ideas that are presented are good or acceptable but we may well need to have them presented so that debate and compromise are possible. We must tolerate some things that may seem unnecessary or unfair in order to keep the wheels turning. Many believe that the use of alcohol is unacceptable, and in excess it is not good. However, it has been around for longer than anyone can remember and people are unwilling to stop using it so it is part of our social makeup. The same can be said of other practices, some that have been accepted in many nations but not all.
Our nation needs to keep all lines of communications open. We cannot afford to have any one person or group determine what is right for all of us. The efforts to subvert the rights of our citizens so that one element of society dictates what news you hear, what medical treatments you may have, who is allowed to be different or not, and the persecution of anyone that is critical of the state is not to be tolerated. The dictators of the world need to be put back into the cages they are building to house those that do not agree.
We have spent far to long being politically correct and allowing others to take advantage of the system. A segment of our population has been able to dominate by claiming they are the victims when they are in fact the perpetrators of the problems. Time to pin the tail back on the donkey.
