The
Wake-Up Call Leadership Regime of #45-These United States
On
November 2016, those of us who went to the polls and cast the popular vote to
elect the forty-fifth President of these United States, most were more than a
little dismayed at the outcome. Even though the popular vote was for the presumptive
Democratic Nominee, Hillary Clinton. However, when the Electoral College voting guidelines were tabulated the news was, not Mrs. Clinton to be elevated, but
instead, it was Donald J. Trump who ascended to the nation’s highest office of
The Presidency of the United States of America.-a a man whom we the popular
voting block clearly viewed as unfit to lead America.
Since
much time has elapsed and we have come to know that Donald J. Trumps is exactly
what Hillary Clinton warned he would be, do, say and carry-out in his
leadership, or lack thereof. The type of leadership being exhibited and
portrayed, according to the populist, has been a roller coaster awakening of a
nightmare
Trump
in his attempt to lead has been a mirror, a warning, and an ultimate catalyst
for change, albeit, not necessarily positive change. The model reflected in #45
the abnormal and erratic behavioral pattern reveals all that is wrong with the
United States America such as:
·
Injustice,
Unfairness and Oppression
·
Bigotry,
Hatred, Racism and racial discrimination of black and Brown people
·
Catalysts
for the flame of police brutality i.e. George Floyd
·
Broken
Social contracts
·
The
the undoing of noteworthy policy and procedures put in place, by the former POTUS
for the betterment of we the people, such as Environmental, Education and
Healthcare issues, components and initiatives
·
The
crassness and disrespectful politics put forth in bullying tactics
·
The
Cruelty, that is put upon the Economy
Although,
I hasten to add, these maneuvers have been a wake-up call that has served, as
a jolting shock that a mature democracy needed for action. A case and point was
the action and procedures of the Impeachment process put forth by the
Congressional House of Representatives, only to be ignored and not taken
serious by the United State Senate, much to the displeasure of the populist
voting block
In
times like these, an enormity of the populist are using the utterance of a
timely metaphor, Trump and his supporters are like a virus-a pandemic of sorts,
and they have activated the Democratic
antibodies. The situations and circumstances that we see happening in the
streets is the body fighting the infection from the disease of the virus.
America
has prided itself as the first modern nation created for, and
by
the people. Supposedly, a nation with no class structure, royalty, and/or
Hierarchical order. Which was one of the main
reason for succeeding from
The royal court of Great Britain. The approach was to give everyone a
chance
to achieve the American Dream-where anyone could reach their full
Potential in life. However, we are now aware
that was somewhat of a myth.
We
need look no further than the slavery era where human beings were
Treated,
not as people, but as property.
The
Civil War was fought to abolish slavery-but it failed in the process of the
aftermath
to be the more perfect union put forth by the foundering father of
The
Constitution. Because immediately after the Civil War was fought the
Confederacy
establish the “Separate but Equal” Jim Crow Laws.
Even
today, we are witnessing, not only a cultural and ethnic war but seemly
a
class war, especially in the behavior patterns of police brutality when it
comes
to black and brown people. It is time for America to confront its short
comings-as
it relates to systematic racism and
racial discrimination, and it
must
also acknowledge the reality of the created permanent underclass,
where
a society exist that your melanin skin color content, and your zip code
determines
the status and the importance of your future.
Depending
on how you look at it, fortunately for #45 and unfortunately for
we
the people of the popular voters' block, everything that is “wrong in
America
is inherent in #45. such as:
·
The Hunger for Power
·
Abnormal Behavior unbecoming of a world
leader
·
Complicit with Altright and White
Supremacist vile behaviors
·
Cruelty toward those who look and are
different than...
·
Gleeful Ignorance and disrespected Antics
·
Obsession with vile, insensitive social media
attacks & comments
·
And outright Mendacious Narcissism
The
revulsion of candid unprofessional idiosyncrasies of #45 is causing the
Americans,
and just recently, a number of the GOP supporters, to ask the
Questions:
How did we get in this mess?, And how do we get out of this,
through
what test? The wisdom is when #45 tenure is run and done,
Whether it’s Nov 2020 or
four more years. The recovery process shall take
time, an enormity of hard
work by dedicated, committed, well-intentioned
Professional people from
every corner of American society.
In conclusion, a word
about what happens in the streets, whether its
the violent protest, looting,
property destruction or just peaceful protesters, it is
a demonstration of:
·
Open progressive for the effects of ways-societies
‘To Improve’
·
Often times fitfully-imperfectly
·
Frustratingly-sometimes tragically
Albeit,
in the end, the goal, the objective sought after, the desired outcome
Is
that, the imminent results is that we must work, “To Improve”
What
to say to #45 The POTUS? Shall we say,
Thank You! For the wake
Up
call. Thank you for showing us who America really is?. Thank
You
for helping we the people to muster enough courage to confront the
Situations
of injustice, unfairness, hatred, racism, racial discrimination,
And
helping we the people of black and brown for the realization of our
Importance
to America. We can now have the
the utterance of the proclamation to
Say
like Fannie Lew Hammer said during the 1960’s Civil Rights Movement:
“We
are sick and tired of ‘Being Sick and Tired”
THE
COURAGE TO CONFRONT SHALL NOW BE -THE PARADIGM SHIFT..
‘TO
IMPROVE’ And Yes, With Tenacity and
Smart work-We shall be OK.
