That's the law of the land, period.
With 2020 behind us, Donald Trump, hopefully, on his way out of office, and Democrats poised to control Congress, there's lot of talk about going "back to normal" in 2021, healing and reuniting America, but honestly, there are serious problems with all of that way of thinking in our present times and situation, as "normal" isn't enough .
Our nowadays normal is a system where peaceful coloured and black, and poor protesters are tear gassed, beaten, condemned and arrested, so Trump can have his photo op, holding an upside down Bible, or police brutality can be camouflaged, while violent mobs of white supremacists attempt a coup on the Capitol, and several other states public houses, and all are welcomed through front doors and allowed to leave without consequences, people responsible for these events, civilians, party members, security and officials should all be held accountable.
Normal is a health care system that, in the middle of the gravest pandemic, leaves tens of millions without coverage, and fail to provide hospital care and vaccine to most. Leaving many to choose between paying for life saving medicine or buying food for their families or having a roof over their heads. America needs healthcare for all now, as well as a reasonable public housing strategy.
Normal in our 21st century is a student debt crisis that's ballooned to well more than 1 trillion Dollars, and is held disproportionately by the poorer strata, and minorities of all colours. America needs now a tuition-free college system, and a fair cancel to most if not all student debt.
We need a congress mentality that understand the depth of the multiple crisis facing the American people, and a serious realisation and assessment of our wealth unequal distribution, and the ever increasing corporate power and vulgar huge wealth. A Congress that will work for the people and not for the lobbies and special interests and war machines.
Americans of all walks of life should join in this fight for justice. The system is rigged against so many people and citizens of this country, especially blacks, brown, indigenous, poor, and the unfortunate honest workers and small business owners of all colours, it is rotten to the core, but together we could unrig this system and build on it.
No wonder Mr. Trump, most of his official representatives, oligarchy and advisers, his lawyers and family, they all claimed so asservatively and surely that elections were rigged, it's because they were confident they built the perfect opposite, and were assured themselves of a perfectly rigged counter system of elections. So they were all astounded and fully taken aback when they lost the popular elections by more than 10 million votes, the masses spoke and the leadership still is in total disbelief and a chaotic disarray, trying the impossible, just to keep hanging to lost power.
As always my gratitude to all my good readers, please stay safe.
Excellent article as usual. The current 'Normal" cannot be accepted. The country is sick and needs to recover to a healthy Normal, for its sake and for the whole world. When the US coughs, the world gets a fever!!
ReplyDeleteYes my good friend, years of non caring about our bad habits,domestic and foreign politics and bad tactics led us to all this, it's high time for a full reconsideration ......
