While the rest of its allies saw a \u201cDeath Star\u201d hovering over America\u2019s head it seems far too many Trump supporters could only see a bright shiny light<\/a>. Maybe that\u2019s why they voted for him along with a rebellious statement for those who constantly declared they were misguided. When Obama<\/a> was elected in 2008 it looked like America had come of age, as he and his family represented the best of what America was really about. It didn\u2019t matter if he was flawed<\/a>, he had a vision<\/a> and represented America both at home and abroad in the best way possible. But it seems for some of those states located in the middle of Red Heartland this was a bridge too far<\/a> and it only amplified the great divide<\/a>. Couple this with years of misinformation<\/a> fed to a captive audience creates a recipe only to reek havoc<\/a>. Then ice that cake with a trillion $ debt added to the economy<\/a> to fund a tax cut<\/a> which for the first time allowed the wealthy to pay less tax than the working class. Especially, after arguing for 8 yrs on fiscal responsibility<\/a> when it was the other guy, blocking<\/a> all policy making attempts. It\u2019s ironic in US conservative circles they trade on the taboo word, \u201csocialism<\/a>\u201d because it invokes the same response as garlic to a vampire. Yet for decades they have practised corporate<\/a> socialism at obscene<\/a> levels both with state and federal governments. Failing to see the hypocrisy<\/a> in that nor all the other injustices including voter suppression, gerrymandering<\/a>, the electoral college or court stacking<\/a>. Conservatism has to learn that the human progress<\/a> timeline doesn\u2019t freeze at the 1950\u2019s<\/a> where environment never played a part nor did population expansion or huge social shifts with technology. It was also when wages<\/a> were at their strongest and the average CEO only made 20 times that of the baseline compared to current day where it\u2019s almost 300 times. Biden may have not been the best candidate from the Democratic party but even if he was comatose his Administration will surely outperform<\/a> the Trump<\/a> grifter team<\/a> a thousand fold. So that\u2019s the calming factor for the rest of the world, although there will be an anxious<\/a> wait until January 20th as a lot<\/a> could happen<\/a> between now and then<\/a>. But if all goes to plan<\/a>, watch parties break out all over the world on inauguration day<\/a>. In the meantime it\u2019s worth another reminder<\/a> of what a real President looks like with another excerpt from John McCain’s funeral service whom also met that \u201cPresidential\u201d high bar. Joe Biden speaking about his friend and shared belief in principles<\/a> and what should be at the heart<\/a> of America\u2019s soul.<\/p>\n
