Having watched a bit of the Democratic convention, mostly
Tues night, I am seeing something that we in America
haven’t seen in a while, joy enthusiasm, an intensity that
has been missing in America for quite a while…
and this is because, in part, due to IQ45 and the GOP/MAGA
party…
What a relentlessly negative group…there is never positive, happy,
joyful news coming from the right wing… IQ45 recently said that
in big cities, even crossing the street will get one killed…or
that the crime wave is the largest ever seen, and yet, the FBI says
that crime has been falling in the last two years… forget the fact that
IQ45 just out and out lies, they are extremely negative…
there is no joy, no beauty, no love in the right wing world… just
violence and death… and that just depresses people…
It is hard to be hopeful and have enthusiasm, when half
the people in this country are so damn depressing and negative…
and therein lies the beauty of the Harris/Walz level of enthusiasm,
many on the right and in the media have criticized Harris for her
lack of concrete proposals… I for one am happy to see people
energized and engaged in an election…
for it is what America needs… not specific policy on the interest rates,
or housing, but to renew enthusiasm and joy in America today…
the last 8 years have been 4 years of the dumpster fire that was
the IQ45 presidency, and the last 4 years with Biden bringing America
back… but frankly the hard work of the last four years is not an
joyful, or enthusiastic thing… it is/was a grind… and rebuilding is
always a grind… but today, we are back to where we can begin
to rise above the rebuilding stage of America… and that stage
is a hopeful, joyful stage because we can now renew the drive into
the future… up till now, we have been trying to get back to
where we were, before the dumpster fire of the IQ45 years…
or have you forgotten the widespread protests in America, or the loss
of 3 million jobs or the massive deaths cause by the inaction of IQ45…
today, today we can move into the future… for we have moved past
the protests and Covid and Biden has created over 14 million jobs in the
last 4 years… which means he covered the 3 million job losses of IQ45
and created an extra 11 million jobs beyond that…
but to get to the point of joy and exuberance we are now experiencing,
we have to wipe out the past last few negative years… and we have…
the politics of fear and negativity can only last so long before it
destroys one’s faith in the future… we have that faith renewed
because we don’t hold to the negative politics of IQ45…
where it is a safe and beautiful America…
But we don’t need to be Pollyanna about the future of America…
We know there is hard work to be done… but at least now we
have some hope and joy about what is to come…
so, yes, we don’t have specific policies in place about homelessness
or the threat of Russia, and I say, so what… we can always fret about
that later… today, today it is far more important that we can feel joy
and hope and faith in the future… our enthusiasm is an enthusiasm
that hasn’t been seen in a while… that our future, that our children’s
future will be better than our present… and that has always been
the American dream… I may not be rewarded but my children,
my children will reap the benefits of my hard work in creating
a future for all of us… so, bring on the joy and enthusiasm of
the DNC… it bodes well for us going into the future…
for one only feels joy and enthusiasm when the future
looks better than today…
