As I watched the proceedings in Miami unfold on Tuesday and absorbed the commentary of media pundits on the gravity of the moment, I couldn’t help but reflect on a recent conversation I had with a close friend about the indictment of Donald Trump. He had echoed a sentiment that has been gaining momentum lately: “We’re not voting our way out of this.” He was alluding to the current state of America, which is plagued by a deepening chasm that threatens to tear the country apart. At the heart of this divide is the apparent willingness of the Democratic establishment to misuse the Department of Justice as a weapon against their Republican rivals.
Historically, no former US president has ever faced criminal charges. This is not because they all lived angelic lives after leaving office. Rather, previous generations understood that there had to be limits to the use of government power, lest the country tear itself apart with each change in leadership. It seems that the current Democratic party, taken over by the far-left, has forgotten these principles and is convinced that it can silence and, in this particular case, even imprison those it disagrees with. This is because, in their minds, they are always the morally superior ones.
However, many Americans believe that the prosecution of former President Donald Trump is politically motivated. As history was being written in Miami, it became apparent that this event only serves to exacerbate the growing political and cultural divide. Millions of people feel completely alienated by the system, and Trump was their last source of faith in America’s political establishment. For them, the fact that a Democratic president is now using the DOJ to go after their hero only reinforces their estrangement.
The speaker who said “We’re not voting our way out of this” could have meant several things. One interpretation is that voting is pointless because even after elections, nothing changes for the better. Another darker meaning alludes to the idea that there are other paths — less legal or less peaceful — that can lead to a desired result. While I have no reason to believe the speaker was advocating violence, it is worrying that many people on both the far-left and the far-right now believe that politically motivated violence is acceptable to achieve their goals. While they may vote, they primarily believe in using brute force and fear to silence their opponents.
Regardless of the interpretation, it is evident that all roads lead to a troubling place. The speaker and many like him have lost faith in their country to do the right thing. This loss of faith in the legitimacy of voting and the electoral process is a disturbing and depressing development as it undermines the very foundation of America’s experiment with self-government. We are a nation in control of our destiny and future through our right to speak, vote, and live as we see fit.
Unfortunately, despite our constitutionally enshrined rights, faith in these fundamental aspects of our society is in sharp decline. Polls consistently show that an overwhelming majority of citizens feel that the country is on the wrong track and is failing to deliver on its core promises. This widespread dissatisfaction with the political system represents a significant threat to America’s future if it continues unchecked.
Trump is the focus of this current wave of disillusionment, but certainly not the only one. Cultural divides, such as those surrounding transgender rights, have quickly become prominent battle lines in recent years. The shocking display of breasts by a transgender woman on the White House lawn during the same week as Trump’s arraignment only served to underscore the growing divide between the two sides. Even Democrats were forced to denounce the display as evidence of everything that Americans who value traditional values and faith oppose.
Despite all this political chaos, it is clear that Donald Trump still wields a great deal of influence, particularly among the blue-collar workers in the heartland who felt abandoned by the political establishment. Though he failed to achieve a consensus during his term, his supporters believe that the 2020 election was stolen. Unfortunately, the public’s dissatisfaction with the alternatives to Trump appears to be at an all-time high. Even his indictment is not helping Biden’s approval rating, which currently stands at just 41%.
There are two factors compounding Biden’s problems: his declining physical and mental state and the mounting evidence that he and his family have routinely engaged in corrupt activities. The GOP-led House panels’ investigation has exposed a huge payout from China to nine members of his family, while whistleblowers at the FBI and IRS have accused his son, Hunter Biden, of receiving kid-glove treatment from investigators. Additionally, an informant has claimed that both Joe and Hunter received $5 million bribes from the owner of a corrupt Ukrainian energy company, with tape recordings also allegedly in existence.
All of this underscores just how divided the country is and how widespread the loss of faith in the political establishment has become. We are on a dangerous path, and if we are to salvage our country and restore our faith in democracy, we need to reach across the aisle and seek common ground. We need to be willing to listen to one another, and put the good of our country first and foremost.
