America wants a courageous, charismatic patriot to guide the battle to guard democracy. Just like the motion in Russia led by Alexei Navalny, it have to be strong and pervasive all through the nation. It should carry a robust message about human rights, particular person freedoms, and democracy over autocracy. The outcomes of the 2024 election sadly knowledgeable us that racism, misogyny and an dependancy to Donald Trump have unfold like most cancers all through 50% of the citizens. As a lady, it pains me to say that the chief of this opposition motion have to be a strong, charismatic, fearless white man. Trump has bought his poisonous model of masculinity and white nationalism to tens of millions of women and men, and at the moment in our politics, no lady or minority has an opportunity at influencing plenty of individuals from each events to reject an autocratic America and a dictator for a president. As soon as Trump is gone and the MAGA ideology fades, the nation can have the chance to return to being a rustic of equality, values, non-violence, and adherence to the rule of legislation.
This motion will need to have a reputation, a slogan, and merchandise that exposes the risks of the Donald Trump Mission 2025 plan for America. Putin and his Russian allies jailed, hunted, tortured, and in the end killed Alexei Navalny within the title of defending their autocratic, faux democracy. Nevertheless, Navalny was uniquely dedicated and courageous in his love for his nation. We’d like somebody like that who is robust and never managed by what the opposition will say about them. Moreover, Democrats who supported the Harris/Walz ticket are livid at how briskly their celebration declared this election was “free and truthful” just because there was no proof of poll or machine tampering. There are different types of rigging than tampering with the vote rely, similar to spreading disinformation, mendacity, participating Russia to intrude, and amassing billionaire darkish cash to affect voters.
How can an election be referred to as “free and truthful” when one celebration is spreading disinformation, mendacity, and getting assist from our enemy Russia? For the reason that Civil Battle, America has struggled to outline itself with two opposing voices reflecting two events that differ in learn how to govern however who’ve shared the identical dedication to American values and the Structure. Nevertheless, with the re-election of Donald Trump, there’s a third voice: a corrupt voice, an anti-democracy voice, and a violent, blatantly racist voice that’s positioned to deconstruct our democracy. This election is being referred to as free and truthful as a result of Democrats don’t accuse elections of being rigged with out proof that proves fraud. Trump and the Republicans, earlier than the 2024 vote was even counted, had been claiming Democrats had been committing fraud to intrude within the election outcomes. It’s humorous how the election was touted as “free and truthful” by Republicans as soon as Trump gained.
Democrats misplaced this election as a result of they’re dedicated to performing with integrity, complying with norms, and respecting the values and legal guidelines embedded within the Structure regardless of the normalized local weather of soiled politics. The alt-right, Christian white Tea Occasion wing of the GOP, which fashioned through the George Bush Administration, has expanded right into a corrupt, autocratic political machine led by Trump and MAGA members of Congress, which sadly is interesting to tens of millions of voters. The MAGA motion has modified the principles of politics, but Democrats nonetheless insist on enjoying by outdated guidelines which can be not adopted or revered by many of the citizens. If Democrats hold enjoying by the principles of statesmanship and bipartisanship, they are going to proceed to lose elections and democracy will develop into a shadow of what it as soon as was.
President Biden has completed a lot for the nation. He handed vital laws that has saved the financial system and improved People’ lives, a lot of whom have hypocritically devoured the advantages whereas disparaging Biden and the Democratic agenda. Whereas Biden was defending democracy, cleansing up after Trump’s disastrous presidency, and performing with morality and decency, his repute and his personhood had been attacked, threatened, and disrespected past what we have now ever seen in america of America. And but, it appears President Biden continues to be married to this notion of performing respectful and type amidst a motion that’s gunning to destroy his legacy and the democratic lifestyle we have now identified for lots of of years. Why, after working a marketing campaign devoted to warning the nation of how harmful and mentally declined Trump is, would we faux that we help him? That may be a combined message to the Democrats who backed the motion to dam him from the presidency. The excuse that we should present respect for the presidency when the particular person holding the workplace not stands for democracy is silly, hypocritical and weak.
LEARN FROM TRUMP; HE HATED BIDEN, HE HATED LOSING, SO HE DID NOT ATTEND BIDEN’S INAUGURATION. WHY SHOULD BIDEN EMASCULATE HIMSELF BY ATTENDING THE INAUGURATION ONLY TO BE RIDICULED BY TRUMP AND HIS REPUBLICAN ALLIES? BIDEN’S GESTURE WON’T BE RESPECTED, SO WHAT IS THE POINT? ARE WE STILL COMMITTED TO A MOVEMENT TO PROTECT THIS COUNTRY FROM WHAT TRUMP STANDS FOR OR NOT?
THERE HAS BEEN A CRY FOR BIDEN TO STEP ASIDE AND LET KAMALA HARRIS BECOME THE 47 TH PRESIDENT. SHE WOULD CLAIM THE BROAD IMMUNITY GIVEN TO THE PRESIDENCY BY THE SUPREME COURT AND START A MOVEMENT THAT WOULD BLOCK WHATEVER IS POSSIBLE TO BLOCK IN TRUMP’S Mission 2025 PLAN, WHICH AIMS TO TAKE AWAY INDIVIDUAL FREEDOMS, WEAKEN OUR STANDING ON THE GLOBAL STAGE, AND THREATEN THE LIVES AND FINANCIAL STABILITY OF MILLIONS OF AMERICANS.
WHERE IS AMERICA’S NAVALNY? WHO IS HE? WE MUST MOVE FAST AND START THE CAMPAIGN TO OPPOSE THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY AS VEHEMENTLY AS TRUMP AND HIS MAGA MOVEMENT OPPOSED THE BIDEN PRESIDENCY. IT WORKED FOR THEM; IT CAN WORK FOR US. WE MUST FORGET CIVILITY FOR NOW AND A REVERENCE FOR THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENCY. TRUMP HAS DESTROYED WHAT THE OFFICE WAS STOOD FOR. HOWEVER, WE CAN GET IT BACK. IT IS A GOAL TO RETURN TO THE DECENCY OF PRE-TRUMP AND MAGA POLITICS; HOWEVER, FOR NOW, KEEPING DEMOCRACY AND WINNING BACK THE RESPECT OF OUR ALLIES IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WORRYING ABOUT WHAT REPUBLICANS ARE GOING TO SAY WHEN WE GIVE THEM A TASTE OF THEIR OWN POISONOUS POLITICAL MEDICINE.
