You Can't Love Your Country Only When You Win!

He once again had to speak on the noise.

Vote.

Ignore the noise.

Vote to save democracy.

President Joe Biden spoke once again to the nation about the dangers of political violence and conspiracy theories. He said that democracy is at stake this election and if the Republicans do win control of Congress, they will cause utter chaos. 

Republicans have questioned the attack on Paul Pelosi as an attempt to scare up Democrat votes.

Biden on Wednesday delivered a stark warning to Americans that the future of the nation’s democracy could rest on next week’s midterm elections, an urgent appeal coming six days before final ballots are cast in a contest the president framed in nearly existential terms.

“We can’t take democracy for granted any longer,” the president said from Union Station in Washington, blocks from the US Capitol where a mob attempted to interrupt the certification of the 2020 election.

It was a sharp message to Americans considering sitting out next week’s congressional elections that the very future of the country was at stake. Biden suggested the preponderance of candidates for office at every level of government who have denied the results of the last presidential contest was red-flashing warning signal for the country.

“As I stand here today, there are candidates running for every level of office in America – for governor, for Congress, for attorney general, for secretary of state who won’t commit to accepting the results of the elections they’re in,” Biden said. “That is the path to chaos in America. It’s unprecedented. It’s unlawful. And it is un-American.”

The Republicans have played on culture wars ever since Biden was swore in. They have dismissed their failures to control the coronavirus, their failures to hold those responsible for political violence like Jan. 6 amd voted against ever single legislative accomplishment while bragging about the latest projects coming to their respective districts and states.

Republicans have over 300 candidates on the ballot who deny the 2020 election and vow to not accept the results if they are not the legitimate winner.

They have scapegoated Jews, Muslims, immigrants and transgender Americans.

They balk about crime, inflation and the economy but have no real policies or actual solutions other than more guns, tax cuts and the elimination of the safety net.

Republicans are the party of stupid. The party of violence. The party of extremism.

The American voter has been rolled by the noise.

Washed Up 45 has changed politics. Now it is "normal" now for folks to interrupt lawmakers when they are talking. It is "normal" to call lawmakers who do not agree with you as the enemy. It is "normal" to pose with firearms to show how tough you are or in agreement with the Second Amendment. It is "normal" to demonize lawmakers you don't know personally. It is "normal" to mock lawmakers who were victims of violence.

It is now "normal" to get distracted with the heckler, the tweet, the meme, the conspiracy theory and the polls.

If you are willing to reward the noise, that's all on you. Vote for the Republicans.

But if you are willing to defend democracy, the safety of the country, real solution to improving the economy, bringing down inflation and lowering the temperature, vote for the Democratic Party.
