Recently, a girlfriend posted a picture of members of both parties laughing together. To her it represented a recent past that she missed, what she didn’t understand is that to many of us it represents not two parties getting along, but one party, the political party that serves itself and not the American public.
Researching into people such as Jovan Pulitzer, an amazing intellect and statistician, it can be seen that for the last 35 years we have been a one party system. I can recall my father stating after an outsider, Ronald Reagan, left office that “‘They’ will never let that happen again”. I didn’t understand what he meant, until we were Trump’d.
Power is with those who control the information. We see it in countries such as China, North Korea, etc, but we never thought our free America would be impacted. California is a micro-climate of what is seen in the nation. Their freedom is removed, they have huge inflation, the highest taxes (with the rich given exceptions, and the middle class paying for all), yet they have one of the worse school systems in the nation, and their cost of living is high, while they joy of living is low. Yet, their leaders, and media which is owned by the same, press their points using fear and misinformation. And most don’t bother to fact check and instead just accept their fate, and they continue to re-elect this same officials.
The saddest part for me is that our country use to be one of the most free in the world, but now we are not much different than the monarchy our forefathers fought so hard to eliminate. We chose Trump, not because we are pro Trump, but because we are pro freedom for America.
