Can we keep it?
By Mike Phelps
To paraphrase President Lincoln our government was set up to serve the people not for the people to serve the government. You would not be out of line if you increasingly felt like you were an inconvenience at best to our elected officials. Both parties have become alarmingly disengaged from the interests of the average person. The Democrat Party has become a singularly destructive force hurtling the country toward a depressing dystopian drama equal parts “Animal Farm” and “Nineteen-eighty-Four.” You might ask, “who’s fault is this?” You might be tempted to answer: the Democrats, the Left, the media or even specific people like Mr. Obama or Ms. Harris. You would be wrong.
As Peter Parker’s uncle reminded us with great power comes great responsibility. We talk about a “right to vote,” but it should really be framed as a responsibility to vote. A responsibility that requires educating yourself and a certain thoughtfulness about the consequences of your choices. The people’s choice in 2020 had the consequence of four years of the disastrous presidency of a senile old man. As a bonus, his mediocre yet smarmy number two has been elevated to the Democrat Party’s presidential candidate.
Some people argue that a Harris victory in November would be Trump’s fault because he’s Trump. This is despite the fact he beat Hillary Clinton in a fair election and lost to Joe Biden in a questionable election four years later while much of the country was still traumatized by the Chinese Flu and the devastating responses to it by both parties and the media.
