As we move forward from this incident of the shooting and all the accusations about how it was brought about by the democrats and their negative remarks about Trump, keep in mind that this has given him a new tune to play in the game of being a victim. The actions, attitudes and speeches that caused this incident are very much his own words coming back to bite him. He is using the photo of him bleeding to make money for his campaign(?) or his pocket.
He has refused to contact the widow of the man that died at that rally, no doubt offering prayers instead. It would mean something if he in fact had a faith other than self. The convention was much more important than any death unless the death had been his. If his son or wife paid the price for being on that stage he would have milked that cow for all it was worth.
If all the press he is getting puts him in the lead or worse gets him reelected we will have to blame ourselves for being total idiots. This election has to be viewed as a selfish act, not one of denying votes to Biden because you don’t like some of his policies, Trump doesn;t have any so that idea is out the window. It is about where you want to go in this life and in this country.
Do you believe in Global Warming, or Reproductive Health, or taking care of Aged People, or adequate education for all children. If any of those or a hundred other issues are on your radar then you have to view this election as a journey and the candidates as busses. Which bus will get you closer to your goal? Keep in mind that the other bus will never get there as it is going the wrong way and is subject to diversions at any time.
Democracy and the rule of law was the course set by our founders. They had some bumps in the road as well but the majority of the country never gave in to the temptation of having one class rule. After the invention of the Cotton Gin and the Civil War the south was making efforts to allow only the rich and landed to be the voice of all. They were eventually stopped in that pursuit but today we have the ultra rich once again believing that they know best for all of us and if they don’t the religious right does. This is a dangerous view because that path will destroy our democracy and our nation and leave us open to the exploitation of nations that seek power over all else.
