Most political speeches are made with lots of promises, some that the candidate will keep and some that will not be kept. In the case of the current situation most of the promises that Harris has made we hope she is able to keep them. They are beneficial and directed at the betterment of society. The biggest block will be if we do not have the majority in the House and Senate. As all of us wait to see what will happen in November.
The speech by Trump promises nothing except trouble. The rounding up of “illegal ‘s” the deportations of the same. The incarceration of all those that have opposed him. Vengeance and tyranny are the promises he brings to the game. His first pass was pretty much a rehearsal for the second round and with the play book, 2025, his course of action is better planned. Again we can only wait for the results. His plan includes refusing to accept that he lost, so that is another troubling part of the equation.
The support that is being given is monumental on both sides. The money from the right and the rich seems to be bent on creating a country that bows to one master. Who is that master? Since the rich is White Christian (?) Nationalists, and they want to have Christianity as our national faith, it seems odd that they have chosen a man like Trump who only worships himself. His entire life has been to satisfy his wants and needs and everyone else is either there to fulfill or get in the way.
The people behind him think, or so it seems, that since he is so shallow and vain that they will be able to control him and get their way. The part of the picture they are ignoring is that he is already being controlled by someone that he admires and that has an entire nation’s treasury to use to bribe with. Since Trump is for sale to the highest bidder the WCN doesn’t stand much of a chance in this contest.
An obvious question is how did we get to this state and do we have a way out? We got here because we did not stop the practice of monopoly in business. There are people that have gotten very rich because of the tax cuts given them since the Reagan administration. This has allowed them to buy out media systems, newspapers, television stations and the like. They then slant everything to reflect their point of view. As a result we get lots of negative information in reference to people and organizations that oppose them and lots of praise for those that support.
This is why they support a very fragile egotist that is morally corrupt and basically a very unsavory character. Again the effort is to put a puppet where they believe they pull the strings, however, as stated before control is already in the hands of others and they are just rushing to the edge of the cliff like the lemmings that they are. As much as they believe their wealth will keep them in good stead they are forgetting that the idiot they promote is only interested in being top dog, not on a leash held by wealth only, maybe by one of power.
If he loses this election will we have another insurrection? Very possibly, and if that should occur since the Supreme Court gave immunity to the President we could see him put forces into play that have no limits on how to get the job done just the order to accomplish it. Sounds harsh, but it seems that unleashing the mob on our elected representatives and the public in general is a possibility, then let those that advocate violence be met with violence. The other choice is, of course, cut off the head of the snake.
