Telling the truth in America in 2022 is dangerous to your family and your health. The reality of gun ownership is violent, and many will in flick suffering on an individual, or a group with no logical reason. Violence is not new, but now it is blatant and overt.
President Biden’s fiery speech in Philadelphia denouncing former President Donald Trump and what he described as “extreme MAGA ideology” has sparked online calls for violence, including death threats against the president, according to documents obtained by Yahoo News.
America has turned into the Wild Wild West leaving everyone at risk. Something went wrong, when Ex-President Trump lost the election in 2020, and the psychology of Whiteness is being challenged. Truth and facts are no longer accepted by 30% of Americans.
“To much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal,” Biden said Thursday night at Independence Hall, flanked by two U.S. Marines. “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.”
The president should be able to speak to the citizens without threats of death, and criticism of violence. By the next day, posts on White supremacists forums called for the assassination of President Biden, including Attorney General Merrick Garland, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as potential targets.
It is obvious that there is very little compromise in certain sections in the Republican Party. The leadership in the party has made the decision to let Trump rule, and is now calling for more violence. We are at a dangerous moment in America, and our democracy is being challenged yet again.
Many Republicans think President Biden’s speech in Philadelphia was too angry, and the strong rhetoric was divisive. But, after 20 months of the Ex-President Trump still running around the country telling his supporters he won the election, it is time for President Biden to tell the truth.
“Denouncing political violence is not political. Defending rights and freedom is not political. Making clear that the challenge is facing the nation is not political. We see that as leadership, and presidential,” says Press Secretary – Karine Jean-Pierre.
Freedom and truth are 2 words that must be used more often in our political discourse in 2022. Americans must respect the rule of law, and integrity is another word the country must utilize every day.
The battle for integrity in the country will always be a challenge, because there are always degrees to truth. Blacks in America have fought racism from the very first day they stepped on the soil, and we will continue to fight.
Democracy will always be a fight, and the battle will always be there. Many times the Republicans want Democracy only when they win, but it is still a goal everyone wants.
“There is no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven, and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans, and that is a threat to this country. These are hard things. But I’m an American president — not the president of red America or blue America, but of all America,” says President Biden.
It is obvious that the speech on 9-01-22 was for all Americans, and Biden’s speech was to preserve Democracy, try to unite the warring factions, and touch the soul of all Americans.
“There is nothing more important, nothing more sacred, nothing more American. That’s our soul. That’s who we truly are. And that’s who must – we must always be. And I have no doubt – none – that this is who we will be and that we’ll come together as a nation. That we’ll secure our democracy,” says President Biden.
The promise of America is in your soul and vote, become a leader and speak the truth.
