Divided We Stand


    We are now 16 days from the 202 Presidential election and we are more divided than ever.  This past 3 years have been some of the most divisive years in my lifetime.  I have been thinking about this for the past week or so.  What I have been trying to figure out is why has it been that way, who is behind it, and why would they want to see our country fall?  It all began with on Nov 3, 2016 when the most unlikely candidate won the Presidency, Donald Trump.  At the time I joked that his election was so fitting for America.  In no other country in the world would a billionaire land developer turned TV personality whos tagline was "You're Fired" win the Prsidency.  So why did it happen?  The answer was simple, the leftist media and leftist polls were wrong.  They built up confidence that an incredibly terrible person in Hillary Clinton had such a huge lead on this guy there was no way he would win.  On election night I sat with one of her avid supporters and waited to see their absolute joy that she won and I would have to hold my breathe she didnt destroy America as I knew it.  That didn't happen.  Within 20 min the news reported that impeachement proceedings had begun.  I thought this was strange as impeachment is for illegal activites a President does while in office, see Bill Clintons oral exams and purgery during his imeachment trial.  What would someone who just got elected, had not officially taken office and never had any official acts as President have done to demand impeachment?  The answer was simple, he wasnt one of "them".  He was an outsider who didnt play by their rules.  That is all it took for the crosshairs to be placed on him from the moment he was declared victor that night.
    During his entire Presidency the media outlets, congressional Democrats, and leftists have done everything to destroy this man.  It started with the accusation that he allowed Russia to interfere with the election and help him win.  After a year and a half, millions and millions of dollars, and misuse of congressional time during their sessions the truth came out and it was Hillary Clinton who actually worked with Russia to get dirt on Donald Trump with full support of the Obama administration, which is an actual crime.  Then came his conversations with the Ukrainian President and the "quid pro quo".  In the end the Ukrainian President said there was no quid pro quo.  The one thing that did come out was Joe Biden on video telling a reporter that while VP he withheld aid from Ukraine until they fired the prosecuter looking into his son for crimes.  Billions of dollars were withheld and his statement was "In the en the son of a bitch did it." Then came 2020 and Covid-19.
    Covid-19 happened in Jan of this year.  At that time our economy was the greatest it had ever been, unemployment numbers were the lowest ever across all demographics, and our country as a whole was doing great.  Every President sitting in the chair when the country is successful gets reelected by large numbers.  The one thing that could destroy his chance for reelection is an economic collapse.  Jan 27, 2020 Trump shut down travel to China against the advice of his advisors and the Democrats.  At the time he was called racist and xenophobic.  Pelosi went to Chinatown and said Californians should come to Chinatown there was no reason to fear.  Then in Feb Trump closed travel to Europe, one of our blocks of allies.  He was labeled an isolationist who was destroying our relationships with our allies.  Both of these moves saved American lives.  In March Biden began telling the world Trump was to slow in his response and should have acted sooner, even though in Jan he called Trump racist and xenophobic for stopping travel to China.  President Trump has listened to his advisors along the way, taking some advice and going against it at other times.  The one thing that is clear is the initial death estimate was 2-2.5 million Americans and his actions have reduced that number to around 250,000, or 10% of the original estimate.  So why is that not being reported?
    The media has played a huge role in everything that has divided our country.  There is another "group" that has also played a huge role, Antifa.  When the BLM protests began they were largly peaceful and the people were out there trying to make a change to policing, not abolish police but change the procedures.  This was a goal that all of us could get behind.  Then the extreme left took over and the riots began.  Cities were being burned to the ground and taken over by these anarchist.  Police were walking off the job because Democratic politicians provided them no safe way to do their jobs.  Police stations were being burned to the ground and cops shot and assaulted for no reason other than being cops.  This was all being done in the name of "injustice".  The leaders of these groups demanding police be abolished and prisoner be released.  The entire time we saw consistent news reports with the reporter standing in front of cities on fire claiming another night of "mostly peaceful" protests.  These were not the protesters everyone supported in the beginning, these were violent thugs and criminals who wanted nothing more than to get new Gucci shoes and big screen TV's in the name of justice.  We have seen these fade away also as the election has drawn closer.  
    In the end of it all we are more divided than ever and one man has taken the blame for it all, President Donald Trump.  He has called out the reporters and media as "fake news" and being in the Democrats pockets but I think it is more than that.  I think the Leftists in the media and in politics see him as a true threat to their status quo.  He doesn't play by their established norms.  He is always willing to be blunt and honest when it come to his feelings about them.  He isn't afraid to call out things he sees which put American second.  He is a firm believer America comes first.  He has negotiated some amazing trade agreements which give us the advantage in the world economy.  He has aided in creating peace between arab countries and Israel.  He has not started any armed conflicts in his entire Presidency, he has actually reduced the number of deployed soldiers.  He has reduced illegal immigration and started building the wall to slow that further.  He has fought the battles waged against him on all sides every single day he has been in office and still accomplished all of it.  He has consistently tried to make us all see each other as Americans.  He has tried to unite us under our national symbols like the American flag and anthem.  So who is behind this division?  The answer is the far left ideologs and anarchists who want to see our country burned to the ground and a socialist nation put in its place.  That is what we should be uniting against.  In just 16 days the voters will either save our country of we will see the end of life as we know it.  Quite frankly I am terrified at the results.
