The Day After: What Kind of Leadership Did We See

Watching the President’s Press Conference was a painful process and a reaffirmation of his innate racism and belief in White Nationalism that poses the worst threat to the moral evil and sickness whose emergence we have not seen in this nation since Ante Bellum America in the 19th Century.  There was a refusal on the part of our national leadership to recognize the rejection of one Congressional District after another that became so apparent in the childish juvenile reaction to Republican members of the House who refused to embrace him or his agenda.  Where are we two years after the election of this man as President?  Someone should speak out and criticize me for the use of the word “election” which we did not see in 2016 when Donald Trump lost that election by three million votes of American citizens.  Though he was selected by an antiquated ‘electoral college’ that denies the democratic belief of one person one vote that should be central to any egalitarian democracy.  What we have seen since 2016 is the permission of an undercurrent and divisive racism that does not want to say “Make America Great Again” but “Make America White Again”.  I don’t need to remind Americans who have made a home and found opportunity in this land that America is and has always been “Great”.  Let us not fall into the ignorance of scapegoating minorities and falling into the trap of personality that destroys our personal independence and respect for our fellow man.
