After three days of watching the RNC, one can safely say, their message of Fear and Armageddon, but for re-electing Trump, is not resonating with voters and viewers; nor, representing the realities on the ground in today’s America. The psychological impact of watching another minority black man murdered in daylight America, in Kenosha, Wisconsin; the murdering of two protesters by a 17-year old vigilante militia from Antioch, Illinois; the barrage of storms, winds and rains coming from the South Eastern Coast; the suspension of some scheduled NBA games for August 26, 2020; coupled with the hearth-felt statements of “the Doc”, Clipper’s Coach, Glenn Anton Rivers, practically drowned out Vice-President Pence’s acceptance speech for the 2020 Trump/Pence Republican Party nomination. The confluence of multiple events in the life of America during a party’s national conference, and the failure of the top ticket, Donald Trump, President of the United States, to address issues that really mattered to the daily American life, essentially, made whatever Republican Party’s messages for another four-year term of “Trumpism” tonight, inconsequential; and or, irrelevant.
It was as if, nature
and the efforts expended by Republican National Convention and their team of
candidates for 2020 general election, were not in alignment. Just as Hurricane Laura
roared across the Louisiana Coastlines, the threatening storms taking out
multiple communities and objects, the category four tropical storms’ landfall, smutched
over 130 miles of Gulf Coast region, with 90 miles-per-hour winds on Lake Charles,
Louisiana, flooding multiple surrounding communities, were simultaneously telling
of a discordant Republican Party’s messages and America’s future. If the
message of the category four tropical storms from the South-Eastern Shores in a
pandemic time, coupled with the compelling grievances against the daily murdering
of Americans by the blue badge, were meant to send a message to the Trump/Pence
team, it is probably, their November 3, 2020 re-election chances are doomed.
The gusty winds from Hurricane Laura, is advising that Americans stay
sheltered, not only from the tropical storms and damages, but also, the ravages
of “Trumpism”, as well. Daily, Americans are finding, that the smoky tyrannical
White Supremacy ideology, is getting overbearing; hence, scorching, and searching
to escape the tyranny and misfortune of a failing experiment. Albeit, it
appears, the RNC tonight’s messaging, while ignoring the realities on the
ground in America, supports voter’s apprehension of the future of the
Trump/Pence team; and, just as the warm waters from Hurricane Laura was
threatening the Ohio valley, North-Western Arkansas, and trapping residents of
the Louisiana coast lines, American voters are revolting against extension of
the life of “Trumpism” for America.
Incidentally, for
the Trump/Pence team, the November elections is a forgone conclusion, a victory
that will never be matched by any other. While the Democratic National
Convention’s Biden/Harris team may be undermining the Republican National Convention’s
Trump/Pence team’s argument for reelection, believing the realities on the
ground in America, including lackadaisical dropping of the ball regarding the
pandemic and the exacerbated police brutality and killings of minority Black
Americans, facilitated by the untended atmosphere created in the country from “Trumpism”,
the Trump/Pence team continues to believe their message of fear and repudiation
of the leftist ideology of inclusiveness, will amount to success at the
November polls. For them, the impending rejection of “Trumpism” has not
amounted to a failure of the White Supremacy Ideology; but, a personal vendetta
against Donald Trump by the press and leftists. Their premonition: Americans
strongly support Trump, and his ideology – ‘Making America Great Again’, and
many will vote for “Trumpism” come November, 3, 2020. Like many ‘wannabe’ dictatorial
teams, Trump/Pence considers themselves to be highly favored and popular because
their message of minimizing any influence and consequences of the position of
the minority groups in America, or complete disenfranchisement, is tenable, and
accountable for: Making America Great Again; hence, their rational for making a
case for re-election and continued leadership.
Instead of attending
to the ravages of the pandemic on America, the Trump/Pence team has advocated
that, the America’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) temper
down any effort of re-testing Americans that may have once suffered from the
Coronavirus. As surmised in one of Trump/Pence campaign messages, testing for
the spread of the virus, will only allude to finding out, others with this same
ailment; and that essentially, is unacceptable to their re-election chances.
For Trump/Pence team, America’s medical and scientific communities' support for
widespread national testing for the spread of the virus, is antithetical to success
of the Trump/Pence re-election. While conventional wisdom attain that there is
need for widespread testing of Americans and follow-up to ensure that the
people are protected from the virus and kept healthy for productive life; and
hence, conquering the spread of the virus and allowing for the opening up of
the society, particularly affording for the resurgence of the economy, and probably,
a much promising chances of the Trump/Pence team,. The duo have chosen the short
cut or short way out: an immediate and better re-election chance, at the expense
of American lives. The glaring failure of this type of strategy shows the
underbelly of the selfishness of “Trumpism” and the Trump/Pence campaign.
Societal interaction
and economic productivity have been on the decline since the widespread of the
Coronavirus in America. The Trump Administration has refused to work hard to
build a healthier populace by supporting universal testing and treatment of Americans
who suffer, or have suffered, from the spread of the virus. The re-election of
the Trump/Pence team is more of paramount importance to the top of the ticket;
hence, the continued denial of the major spread of the virus; labeling the
ailment, a Democratic Party hoax. What the Trump/Pence team has failed to
realize is that, there are some things in the life of a country that are
greater than political campaigns for re-election of an incumbent team. The
Health Status of the nation’s peoples, is one of those!
Choosing to rush to
open the economy to bolster their election chances, the Trump/Pence team is
failing to realize the long-term threat and substantial impact on America’s
health status, of denying the spread of the virus; and, sabotaging medical and
scientific institutions’ efforts to root out the virus from America. The new
challenges created by this kind of mindset, is the worsening of meaningful relationships
between the White House, medical and scientific institutions and persons that
have often labored to find answers to eradicating virus and or diseases, and improving
the health status of the nation. The medical and scientific communities’ well-intentioned
medical and scientific discovery efforts and advice, are now being jeopardized by
the same government, once elected into position of political leadership as President
and Vice President, men, who once swore on oath, to save Americans form
enemies, domestic or foreign, known and unknown, physical and or microbial. The Trump/Pence
team cannot bull-doze or wing out, or around the nation, the very impactful
damage that the coronavirus has done to America.
Under the White
House stewardship of the Trump/Pence team, over one hundred and eighty thousand
Americans have died; and, more are expected and predicted to die in the coming
months. It will be the worst type of self-hate or discountenance, if America’s
voters give this duo another four years in office. To paraphrase the statement of
the “Doc”, Clipper’s Coach, Glenn Anton Rivers, America has loved change; an
experiment with an outsider to Washington, DC as president in 2016, however,
that team has not reciprocated the love. The Trump/Pence has not loved and
protected the nation as they had promised on oath; symmetrically, minority
blacks have loved and gave of themselves to America; however, the nation
continues to fail, by not loving this group, back!
On August 11, 2020,
Vice-President Joe Biden formally announced his selection of California Senator
Kamala Harris as his running mate. The Biden/Harris team were nominated at the
2020 Democratic National Convention last week, August 17 – 20th,
2020. The duo has promised to give us: “Light after Trump/Pence darkness!” In a
directed speech to the American people, the Biden/Harris team has promised to solve
the pandemic problem, secure social safety net and have the richer Americans
pay their ‘fair share”. There is a good possibility that this two will level
with America and not throw out falsehood repeatedly, denounce the veracity of
science and medical discoveries in attending to the ravages of the pandemic, or
bastardized America’s democracy and institutions, the way Trump/Pence team, has
done in the past three and three quarter years. Given the nation’s experience with
the Trump/Pence team, it is safe to say, we are ready to give another team a
chance; the nation is ready to reclaim his nationhood and democratic principles
from men who hardly appreciate or understand the history and the sacrifices
that many before us has given, so we may remain a more perfect union.
