I think January 6 and the subsequent information about Trump's actions surprised his supporters. Today Biden said a recession is not on the horizon. So, I am comparing both actions from the President. What is the level of damage that an authoritarian ruler has vs a person who is at odds with what most bankers and economists are saying is looming? Neither is preferred. Biden needs to encourage while being connected to the real threat of what is likely to occur, but we don't need a person whose biggest concern is himself.
When I see the poverty that stems from centuries of lack, and the power and wealth that comes from centuries of being allowed to succeed, I see a ticking time bomb. When I read what some black people say is their lives, I often ask why they fail to show for court dates, don't license their vehicles, or pay speeding tickets. What am I missing? I think I do not fully appreciate what it means to have no safety net. To have no family wealth, and to not have had the advantage of a quality education. Even Jesus recognized that the poor will always exist, but he was not ignorant of their vulnerably. What this means to me is I have to support a candidate who is not only focused on businesses and the wealthy. She may be a welfare mom, but she is important. Let's never forget that as we look for another Reagan.
