So, how will this work out?
8 things our next president needs to do right away
(blah blah blah)
- COVID-19 – they want to work with the WHO again, who protected the lying from China
- Reach across the aisle – good f’ing luck with that, he really has never done that in 47 years
- Stimulus – we tried, Democrats blocked and wanted all sorts of left wing pork
- The Federal Reserve – they don’t want China Joe to criticize it
- New taxes – they recommend none.
- Infrastructure – how’d this work out when Joe was in charge of the Stimulus? Not good
- Re-engage allies – kowtow to China
On that last one, they write “As for Russia, Biden sees them for who they are: Not our friends.” Forgetting all the sanctions and such Trump put on Russia.
Anyhow
National Day of Reconciliation
I know, this is kumbaya, but hear me out. We need to set a day for parades, marches, picnics, whatever—let every town and city decide—where people from both sides come and celebrate America together. Call it a National Day of Freedom or some such, everyone likes that. Proud Boys and Antifa are invited, in fact we really want them to come, as long as they don’t bring guns (I can’t believe I have to say that in America today.)
Liberals and Democrats, since they won the presidency, in particular need to listen to what conservatives are saying and try to understand their grievances. I’m not asking anyone to compromise their values, just hear the other person out. By the way, the left wing of the Democratic Party needs to understand this was not a victory for them. They’re at the table, but not at the head of it. Ours is not a radical country. (This reminds me of an American explaining our two parties to a Brit: “We have the Republican Party in the U.S. which is like your Tory party. And we have the Democratic Party, which is like your Tory Party.â€)
Conservatives in the U.S. too need to move off their dime. Want to understand racism in America? Talk to people like New York Knick legend Walt Frazier. I remember being told that he was the best basketball (and football) player in the city of Atlanta his senior year of high school. I met Frazier a few years ago and we had a very nice chat. “Why did you go to Southern Illinois University,†I asked him. “Why not North Carolina or Duke?†Frazier, who’s just 14 years older than I am, looked down at me. “Because they didn’t allow Black athletes to play in the ACC then,†he said. That was a powerful moment for me. Understand that someone like Walt Frazier couldn’t go to the college of his choice. And then extend that to millions of Americans and to every other institution in our country. In your lifetime.
So, let me ask how this works: they’ve been calling us racists, Islamophobes, homophobes, gender confusedphobes, Fascists, and Nazis since Bush 43 was president. They refused to work with us or give Trump a chance. They hated America when Bush 43 was president and when Trump was president. They only fly the flag when a Dem is in office, though, of course, they still want to change everything about America. Why would they want to celebrate and America they actually hate?
And what happens after this day? They’ll go right back to calling us Nazis and racists and such. Why waste time when all the Democrat base knows is hate? They won’t change? You can’t have a conversation with most because it is all feelings based with their visceral hatred.
As for Frazier, he went to college in the mid-60’s. I wasn’t even born yet. Democrats ran the South at that point, and were responsible for the segregation and such policies. It was not Republicans doing this. And it was over 50 years ago. Things change.
