5 examples of trying to get people to believe what they see!
When someone and/or any public official suggests or tells the public to forget/ignore what they have seen with their own eyes, or heard with their ears, and instead simply believe and accept what tell them! In recent years, on many occasions, some of our elected officials have resorted to this strategy, combined with telling lies and resorting to blaming and complaining, instead of suggesting workable solutions! Time – after – time, evidence, discovered, after – the – fact, clearly, indicates, this behavior, etc.! Forget the facts and blindly trust and believe them and their version of reality! With that in mind, this article will briefly attempt to consider, examine, review and discuss 5 examples of this, and why we should care and demand better.
1. The events of and preceding January 6: Although the horrific events and the behavior of a few hundred ardent supporters of the former president seemed to believe in Trump’s version that the election was stolen, despite all the recounts and court cases declaring it false! In short, no matter how much it was (and still is) claimed, the so-called grand robbery, it did not happen and, in fact, the 2020 presidential election was probably the most honest and accurate in history. Recent revelations from the House Select Committee, show, many, on the day of the insurrection, several people, including Donald Trump Jr., Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, etc., sent text messages, etc., to the then Chief of Staff Meadows. , pleading with him to make the president publicly ask his supporters to calm down and stop his behavior. The evidence seems to indicate, not only that he did not respond immediately, but that he waited more than 5 hours before making any statement. After the fact, it seems that we have witnessed a form of revisionist history, where all of those individuals resorted to some version/combination of blaming others, claiming that it was not violent, and Trump claimed, yes it was If it hadn’t been! Had it been for him, it would have been much worse!
two. Lies/theories about the pandemic: Rather than handle the horrific pandemic, relying on the advice and counsel of health experts and professionals, the former president seemed to equate health risks with damage to the economy. How many more died, and will die, because instead of proactively handling this from the start, Trump resorted to making false claims and espousing unproven theories, rather than encouraging others to follow the advice of experts!
3. Systemic Racism: Some members of the minority claim that the treatment by some police officers was based on the concept they referred to as, driving while black! We have seen several cases, clearly, indicating, the Courts, the Police and others, intentionally, or – not, proceed, with systemic racism! What happened with. All men are created equal, Y, equal protection of the law, etc?
Four. Tax Reform 2017: Although President Trump and his Republic Party, elected officials, stated that the legislation would efficiently help the middle class and significantly reduce tax burdens, it appears that it was clearly designed to efficiently support and help. , the richest Americans and the largest corporations! At the same time, most economists say it created a deficit of more than a trillion dollars, which has exacerbated the additional debt created by financial support due to the pandemic. The same people who supported this tax law are now claiming that the huge US deficit is President Joe Biden’s fault, even though it was largely the result of the leadership of the previous 4 years.
5. Blaming and complaining / Empty promises and rhetoric (vitriole) / No solutions: After Charlottesville, and the clearly witnessed/observed racist and violent behavior of a few, the President, as is well known, stated: There were good people on both sides. Time and time again, he articulated a message that enabled haters and made them feel entitled to their biases, etc. When we needed someone, to try to heal our wounds and come together, for the greater good, looking for some kind of meeting of the minds, he constantly resorted to a polarizing and contradictory message, and much of the horrible events, in terms of violence! , public health and safety, must fall squarely on your shoulders!
Wake up, America, because if we don’t demand, protecting all our constitutional guarantees, rights and freedoms (instead of selectively), we will lose our identity and, perhaps, much of our democracy! Will you insist on better and more integrity, ethics and ideals from those you vote for?
