WHAT DOES THE OLD MAN WANT ? WHAT DO AMERICANS WANT?

Just thought you might enjoy a short story
                

What is it about Fox News and other ‘conservative’ broadcasters that makes them so divisive? What is it that Rupert Murdoch’s company in particular seeks to achieve by bad mouthing President Biden and by promoting the idea that the general public needs to be afraid of any legislation that seeks to promote the public good? Why are Government welfare programs so terrifying?  What is it about a liveable minimum wage, health and safety in the workplace, affordable health care and insurance, appropriate unemployment benefits, disability benefits and guaranteed education that should make the American public turn their head away in horror? Why would one want to vilify anyone for proposing that those matters are rights and benefits for every citizen to acquire?

 

The gaggle of pundits on these broadcasts throw out insults and claim that the president is subject to radical ideas of socialism and is therefore anti American, without even telling their listeners what legislation they are actually talking about. What has President Biden proposed that is so left wing, divisive and anti-American?

Making people afraid is all they seem to care about. They have spurned any suggestion of trying to unite the public in any manner whatsoever. It is a continual barrage of vilification and insult. This administration is only five days old and the attacks against it are on the rise. How anti-American is that?

 

They are suggesting that he has thrown out America First in favour of foreign states. His first priority has been to take hold of the pandemic, roll out the vaccination program and save American lives. If that is not putting America first, what is?

 

Denying there is a pandemic? Ignoring its effects? Sticking his head in the sand and saying it will all magically go away? Not being straight and lying to the public? Is that what putting America First is all about?

 

It may be that 80 million plus people voted for President Biden and Vice President Harris, but the voices of the 70 million who did not are still being heard louder than the 80. You people have to step up, it’s not over.  They are like the terminator; they will not stop. You have to be more vigilant and raise your voices in every town hall around the country and vote out, at every single level of administration, those who would continue to spread fear, nonsense and lies.

 

QAnon and their ilk talk of taking back the country. Is it not about time the 80 did the same?
