Why the VP Debate Sealed Trump’s Re-Election
In American history, it is safe to say we are at a crossroads. The political landscape has become ever so hostile and violent, seeing leftist and right-wing parties battle it out on our streets, on social media and even in Congress. Some people, when it comes to politics, are often left with feelings of fear to speak their mind, or the feeling of just being plain unsatisfied. To their credit, they’re not alone. However, the election is coming up quickly, and Americans are left with a hard but crucial decision, will they re-elect President Donald J. Trump or Former Vice President Joe Biden? To answer this in good faith, I want to look at and dissect the debate between Vice President Mike Pence and Congresswomen Kamala Harris, because lets us be honest, there is a lot more to work with here.
This is quite frankly one of the most crucial decisions our nation will make in our history. With Covid-19, the Racial Inequality Crisis, and in more recent news the Confirmation of Supreme Court Nominee, Judge Amy Conney Barrett, it would be irresponsible to say that these three issues are the most urgent and pressing matters facing our country; however, for this article it will suffice. This nation has always been, in my eyes, one that always looks toward the future and equal rights and opportunity not for one single race or person, but for all. I do recognize that the Democrat party wants to move our country into a more “ideal” and “helpful” nation but there is always a time where we have to put our foot down and raise our flag as a proud and independent nation.
This is why I am Republican and for the re-election of President Donald J. Trump. As we begin to arise in a new generation of our great American society, we are met with challenges to decide how our government will affect our everyday lives, and to decide whether or not we will provide a better future for the future Americans of tomorrow. What does it mean to be a “free society”? The Republican Party not only understands the impacts of a big and controlling government but also recognizes the moral impacts of decisions that are made in congress. Those moral decisions to fight for the banning of abortion, to stand with not only one race, but ALL Americans. I am proud to say, I stand with the party that stands for the freedoms and liberty we know and the enduring courage to stand against the moral declines in our nation today. So lets’ break down these three topics.
Covid-19
I think we can all agree, this is a plague that has and still is continuing to impact our daily lives. To the mask debate, to the restrictions heavy too none, no one really knows how to govern during a time when American lives are at risk. Our politicians have ideas, and some of those ideas have been put to the test; however, I like to say that the ultimate test to an idea is the test of time and its effectiveness. The Democrats’ are caught up in trying to undermine our current president, pointing fingers and pitching the idea of a dying democracy.
On the other hand, our current administration is pointing fingers at China, saying that they will “pay a great price,” but can we be honest, now is not the time to point fingers whether you’re on the left or right or don’t even care about politics. It is my belief that we cannot keep looking back, or trying to blame each other for what is already upon us. A great battle is ahead so we should keep our eyes ahead. A Biden Covid plan in their own words:
I can’t help to feel a sigh of great relief that the federal government not only wants to provide a free health care plan for the virus, but also a national contract tracing and racing. This is if you will, the typical Democrats trying to grab for the power they want and have been longing for. One of the most notable aspects of our American society is that we are governed in our communities, onto our states, and then to the federal government. The distribution of power allows for a more representative government, a true democracy. Although it would be nice to think about what we can give back to our fellow countrymen, we must also think who is going to give back to our fellow countrymen, that certainly won’t be the federal government’s money. See the problem yet?
Vice President and the current administration took bold moves from day one. For Mrs. Harris to accuse the Trump Administration of killing 200,000 Americans, as our VP put it is “lies.” While looking at the plan that has been enacted, “Operation Warp Speed” our President has put the materials into the hands of the state to use them to combat this Virus. This goes to prove, our President could care less about attaining power over a nation as a whole, but to achieve the highest level of statesmanship during this pandemic.
Our democracy is at work, at both of the VP candidates in a more respectable manner.
Racial Inequality and Rioting
I always refer people to Critical Race Theory, if you have never really understood it, well I would welcome you to study this topic. For years, the left has swarmed toward these ideas. In simple terms, “racial inequality emerges from the social, economic and legal differences that white people create between “races” to maintain elite white interests in labor markets and politics, giving rise to poverty and criminality in many minority communities” – Britannica. The left wants to use this theory to stand by this idea that America is a place where no one is equal, free or safe, they want to pitch that an accumulation of micro-aggressions and events are suitable to start rioting and standing on a street corner for BLM.
When Americans hear BLM and other racially charged groups, I think it is safe to say not everyone looks at the silver lining to the whole situation. There is more to be said than just the headline. I remember personally watching a group of rioters charge and set fire to a police station, marking what would soon mark the beginning of a moral decline. I remember sitting in disbelief as I heard the rioters laughing while on the video stream. As the building burnt and fell, as the video showed people breaking and looting into stores, in a battle between what is good and bad, America in my eyes lost that day. Even though Harris and Biden and now many other Democrats, who say that they “condone violence,” their own words are not worth what was lost, and what was lost was more than business or police departments, but the heart of a free American society. Some would say that George Floyd would want this but in reality, the Democrats want this, an America where its citizens openly destroy our flag and along with it, its meaning. Under a Biden and Harris Administration, I wouldn’t expect anything more.
Our current administration and quite frankly the Republican Party know very well the importance of law and order and although, political rhetoric, to openly fight against the defunding of police. The quote from our Vice President speaks for itself, a political party built on morals and facts, not feelings. I cannot help but to notice, Mrs. Westbrooks reaction as the left, openly lie about their stance on rioting and anarchy in our streets.
The Nomination of Judge Amy Conney Barrett
The right and left are in a fierce battle in the decision to fill the seat or not of the late Supreme Court Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Starting with the wishes of the late judge to have the next President nominate and confirm the seat, it raises a hard but fairly logical answer. However, honorable or powerful the late judge may have been, I raise the fact that the process to nominate a Supreme Court Justice does not come from a late judge, or even the wishes or opinions of the far left, but the United States Constitution.
Harris and Biden are relentless in trying to convince Americans that this is the essence of a democracy, that by you voting somehow will stop the nomination of Judge Amy Conney Barrett. They are pitching the idea that this nomination is somehow “unconstitutional” because it is during the opposing side election season. It is incredible how the far left can so blindly spread false information and fake news at the highest level.
The many take away from the Vice Presidential debate is this, the democrats want to cease control and implement their nationwide healthcare fiasco, taking advantage of Covid. They continue to use critical race theory as an excuse to make Americans feel unequal and they want to pack our Supreme Court with fellow Democrats to implement plans. We have never been at such a crossroads, where the future of this vote could determine whether or not our great American Experiment lives on to see another day.
For those who read this, who are scared to speak up maybe because you are unsure how you will be treated or judged, I ask that you educate yourself. I ask that you voice your opinion, to not speak light-heartedly but to do so in a manner that will make your fellow countrymen proud. I find inspiration in those who have found America as a land of limitless opportunities. Many of us will or have taken it for granted. We live in a great nation where we can be proud to be left or right, or just an American as a whole. To my fellow young Americans, we are up next. We are tasked with the great struggle to keep moving in a positive direction so that we may live in prosperity and peace. We must continue to think, as our country depends on it. I am proud to be an American, where I can openly support our President Donald J. Trump, a Pro-Life, Pro-Family, Pro-Business, and most importantly Pro-Faith.
So say what you will about America, but we live in the land of the free and the home of the brave, where opportunities are limitless and free speech is welcomed.
