It is, or should be, clear by now that the Democrats cannot
accept a peaceful transition of power; at least when that transition picks a
leader they did not choose and whom they cannot control.
One can see why Democrats favor socialism – the transition
of power in socialist countries is rarely peaceful. Our Democrats, especially those with
socialist leanings, are perfectly content to destroy the entire country if that
is what it takes to remove Donald Trump from office.
They spent 2 years tearing at us with their assertions based
on the Mueller investigation. From that
report and Meuller’s testimony, we have a clear conclusion that Donald Trump
did not collude or conspire with foreign powers to sway our election. Mueller further testified that his
investigation was not hindered (obstructed) in any way. He and his staff carried the investigation to
its conclusion and he then resigned of his own volition. No interference. No obstruction.
Yet, still, Democrats will not have it. They are focused (like the proverbial laser
beam) on removing our duly elected President from office. The Democrats have no interest in what the
people want. Indeed, they believe anyone
who voted for or supports President Trump is an idiot – many have said as much. They seem to believe that not only are they
better than anyone who does not think (or vote) like them, but also that it is both their
right and privilege to think for us all as well.
The Democrats condemn Donald Trump not because he has
committed any crime, but because he has not done so, and that fact makes their attacks
and attempts to remove him from office more difficult.
Donald Trump is not a perfect human being. No one is!
But the Democrats will try to convince us that somehow simply Donald
Trump being who he is constitutes a “high crime and misdemeanor” sufficient for
his removal from office. I must
disagree!
I voted for Donald Trump, but even if I had not I would (and
do) support him. First, as an American
who believes in our system and laws, including our electoral processes, I will
always support whomever is elected, even if that individual was not my choice. I may disagree and protest specific policies
or actions, I may work against that person’s reelection, but that person will
be my president and I will support him or her and the office.
Once we have a duly elected president, that person is the
president of our country – he or she is all our president, not just the
president of those who voted for him or her.
That understanding is how we have peacefully transferred power for
nearly 250 years and how we have been able, as a unified country in that regard,
to accomplish so much.
Without that understanding, when people believe that if they
didn’t vote for the winner of the presidential election then that person is not
their president, then we create a situation in which it is much more likely
that those who deny their duly elected president will also feel empowered to
deny and disobey laws which they prefer not to obey. That is, we are taking a giant stride in the
direction of lawlessness. And, since we
are a country of laws, since our laws hold together our fragile democracy, then
acceptance of lawlessness can easily destroy our country and all that it stands
for.
But, beyond that, I happen to think that Donald Trump is
doing a very good job as President. And,
no, I don’t agree with all his acts, nor am I a fan of his Tweets; but I also
know that it is unrealistic to think that anyone, without being brainwashed,
would agree 100% with anyone who sits in the Oval Office.
I realize that the mainstream media fails to report most of
President Trump’s accomplishments and those they cannot ignore are usually
colored less that favorably toward the President. But, if one actually and objectively finds
and reads the news, and complete factual accounts, one might be amazed at the
many positives that have come from this President. The economy and jobs, of course, especially
for groups that historically have had high unemployment, but also things like
prison reform, recovery of a number of political prisoners held by foreign
nations, more favorable trade deals, VA accountability, highest median
household income, manufacturing jobs
growing at fastest rate in 3 decades, combating opioids, a number of foreign
policy wins and accomplishments, and the list goes on and on.
This President is getting things done. He is keeping his campaign promises to all
Americans. You may not agree with all
that he is doing or perhaps you would prefer a different manner in
accomplishing them, but President Trump is doing what he was elected by the
people of this country to do: he is
working to improve America for all its citizens and he is keeping his campaign promises. And, he is doing this in the face of daily,
24/7, attacks on him, his family, and his supporters. He is doing this is the face of an opposition
party that hopes daily to see him fail, even if that failure hurts Americans.
I am a proud American, often referred to as an idiot, deplorable,
nationalist (as if that must always be a dirty word), racist, ignorant,
narrow-minded, conservative (as if that too must be an evil word), and just
plain stupid. Perhaps those people who
call me and other Trump supporters such names truly believe all that about us. Or, perhaps, these are (as I suspect) simply
the name calling that is directed at anyone who doesn’t agree with the
Democrats’ party line.
Sadly, most of these name callers are unable or unwilling to
have an adult conversation in which we could explore why they feel as they
do. I would like to have such a conversation
with open minds, but, realistically, I know that just isn’t going to happen,
because, realistically, objectivity no longer matters. Rather, it is all about unseating in any way
possible, a president who was not the choice of 100% of the people.
Those whose choice the President was not have come to
believe it is their right to oust him while the country, its people, its laws, and its democracy be damned. And, that
is how we might describe many of the countries from which the masses are
fleeing to our border. They apparently
have not gotten the message that we are becoming them.
Wake up America. Support
our laws. Support those duly elected by
those laws. Respect your fellow citizens
with whom you disagree. Drop the laser
focus on destroying your opposition regardless of the cost and
consequences. Instead, work to Keep
America Great and make it even greater.
