We live in a world today where power, strength and aggression are valued way more than mercy and compassion. Mr. Trump has confirmed that strength and fear can get things done, so it seems everything looks well with the world where the strongest would continue to rule and dominate the world. Many adhere to this formula, Zionist Israel has been applying it for long decades, so is Kim Jong-Un of Korea and many others, new wave fascist leaders.
For the world and America, this year has arguably been one of the most bizarre and destructive of our collective lifetime, to say the least, coupled to a very strange and dangerous 4 years presidency, both crazy events are not completely settled yet, the Trump presidency will have ripples for sometimes as the Corona virus pandemic will take longer than anticipated to go away and a return to normalcy would occur. As we are in the midst of the holiday season marking the end of 2020, I'm sure holiday celebration and its accompanying gift giving is not at the top of everyone's list, nor a priority to many struggling families and individuals.
One of the first things to look for as a result of the Trump administration acts would be to reexamine most if not all of Trump's appointees, not the official political ones like the cabinet members, but the appointed to the different agencies, like social security, the post office, health agencies and internet regulatory, plus immigration, cyber security and many others, whereby most Trump appointees are in these positions because of donations to the Trump election campaign, personal loyalties, friendships and business partnerships. But no consideration to their corrupt past history or their incompetence, these people shouldn't be allowed to stick after Trump leaves office.
Extension of unemployment benefits, urgently needed PPE for hospitals and frontline health workers, and tougher anti virus measures, ought to be top priorities at this time and not disputing falsely fraudulent election results, dreaming of martial laws or preparing for his 2024 elections.
I, like many Americans believe that now is the time for some major and radical change. Now is the time for Medicare for all and a universal healthcare covering all Americans. Now is the time to guarantee everyone in this country the right to a quality education without going into colossal debt. Now is the time to reform our broken criminal justice system and hold police accountability for unjustified violence and misconduct, especially toward minorities. Now is the time for leadership to answer to the will and needs of the majority of the people, and not only to billionaires and corporate powers who are systematically rigging and corrupting elections, representation and the rule of law.
Of course we should all demand immediate better infrastructure, better minimum wages, less permanent war machine and armament spending, but more security for our seniors as well as a more equitable wealth distribution through a fairer tax system, and a responsible approach to climate change.
But to achieve all these, Americans need to be together every step of the way, forgetting stupid rhetoric and propaganda slogans as in labeling all these modern times basic requirements as socialist, communist or Marxist, anti religious or anti personal freedom. I don't think most of Western and northern Europe, Japan and many others are all communist etc. etc..... It's time Americans sober up and look at their problems collectively, soberly and objectively.
Now is the time to listen to the global movement for climate justice, and with the recent election of the Biden/Harris ticket, maybe, and only maybe, we and the entire world with us could suddenly depart from the 3000 years old habits and ways, wars and cruelty, superiority and aggression, maybe Mr. Biden sobering and mature age, is an enhancing force for Americans and Sapiens all over, to switch modes of behavior and thinking, and seriously go into an age that will insure continuity and prosperity to us all on this small planet of ours, and not just to the few.
My usual many thanks to all, stay safe.
