We have reached a point in America, where right and left has blurred the line between right and wrong. This is evident when watching the hypocrisy on display, from both sides of the aisle. A liberal is OK with breaking the law, as long as it advances the liberal agenda. A Conservative is OK with breaking the law if they feel like they have moral high ground to justify it. Conservatives attempt to invoke morality, whereas liberals start belting out accusations of racism, bigotry, misogyny, etc. Liberals and conservatives are about government control, they just have different ways of getting there. This mentality goes back to Karl Marx, and the argument, “the end, justifies the means”. The problem here is that the desired ends of the two opposing ideologies are polar opposites. Who is right? Is either side right? Are they just opposing sides of the extremist coin? Republicans were OK with George W Bush implementing mass surveillance via the Patriot Act, but they threw a fit when President Obama wielded the same power. Democrats hated George W Bush with a passion, and they hate Donald Trump 100 times worse than that. Liberals want to impeach Donald Trump when no crime has been uncovered to date. Republicans threw a fit when Obama criticized the SCOTUS, but cheered when Donald Trump insulted and questioned a Federal judge had issued a ruling that Trump did not agree with. America and its political system is not a football game. It is not a game at all, it is serious business with severe consequences, when it comes to ignorance and stupidity. Policy decisions and legislation can destroy fragile components that are crucial to Americans in their day to day lives.
The economy, society in general, the nuclear family, national security, border security and enforcement, all of these have real life implications to American infrastructure and the way people live their lives. It is not about a small group of people that have the perception that their “rights” are being violated, or that so and so is a racist because they want to prevent foreigners from invading our country. These are the straw men that are hindering progress in our great country, and these straw men are legitimized and perpetuated by media outlets that have an agenda/ideology of their own. We have to get back to principles, and we need to recognize constitutional violations when they occur, and be blind to the party affiliation of the perpetrator. Evil must be called out, Republican, Democrat, Independent, Democratic Socialist, whatever the ideology that one subscribes to, we have to call our corruption and government overreach. Until we are able to do this, we will continue to exist as a country divided.
