Not Only are Real Americans Celebrating a Biden-Harris Victory, the World is Rejoicing


 For four years Donald Trump accomplished one thing: the people in our nation and around the world who despise him have greatly increased in number. So it is no surprise that when Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were declared the winners of Tuesday’s election, celebrations erupted across America and around the world.

My wife and I did not celebrate; we simply sighed in relief. Our country could not have survived four more years of the worst president in history. After 74 years as a patriot, and watching 12 presidents, I had never witnessed a more unfit man to lead our nation.

On Saturday Morning the major news networks announced that the percentage of votes recorded in Pennsylvania guaranteed a victory for Biden. Almost immediately peaceful, and joyful celebrations began in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Portland, and Trump’s home town of New York. The similarity between every celebration included joy over Biden’s victory, and also statements celebrating Trump’s loss. No one will be sorry to see him leave the White House other than his cult who are white supremacists, and, like their leader, white trash who hate America.

However, it wasn’t America alone who celebrated the end of right-wing tyranny in Washington. There were celebrations across western Europe. Large crowds filled the streets in London and Paris, among others.

Everything about Trump’s illegitimate and failed presidency inspired people around the world to not only reject Trump’s policies, but question what had happened to this once respected nation. Our votes were the answer.

I hope that the men and women who voted for Trump will join those of us who did not and work to heal our nation. I agree with what Joe Biden and Kamala Harris said in Delaware on Saturday evening; “we are all Americans.” And I believe Biden when he said that he will represent all 330 million Americans, unlike Trump who only represented those who supported him. He will be an ‘American President.’

Does anyone remember that four years ago, on January 21, 2017, the biggest protest in history occurred in Washington, and all over the world about Trump's illegitimate presidency? My how times have changed.

Every Demographic Supported Biden and Rejected Trump

Don’t be misled by the final Electoral College map. Although Arizona and Georgia were exceptions, the Electoral Vote went as expected. If you are white, and live in a “red state,” you choose to be ignorant. You vote for any candidate with an “R” next to his or her name without learning if that person is qualified to make decisions which will affect your future. The popular vote was historic; Biden is nearing a five-million vote lead. More importantly, with the exception of white supremacists and extremists who would shred the Constitution, Biden won nearly every demographic. One surprise for me was the fact that unlike 2016, the Christian Religious Right supported Trump’s opponent. In the months leading up to election day, Trump’s campaign ignored rumblings among Evangelicals and Catholics that support for the most immoral man in the world was dwindling. This was confirmed after election day. This situation is another confirmation of the fact that repealing the Electoral College would ...

Is Republican’s Choice to not Pass a Second Stimulus a Vindictive Response to Trump’s Huge Loss?

Image
 No one is angrier about Trump’s loss than the orange buffoon himself, but Moscow Mitch McConnell is a very close second. He was able to maneuver the least qualified illegitimate president in history to satisfy his personal ambitions. His ambitions are not the needs and wishes of the majority of the American people. His personal goals are white supremacy and other forms of bigotry. It was Moscow Mitch who blocked a second stimulus check before the election. He wants to save all the funds for his rich friends. In the last week approximately 800,000 new unemployment claims were filed as the effects of Covid-19 continue to cause more distress to Americans. Republicans don’t care. They literally don’t give a damn about the working class, and have not for at least 40 years. President-elect Biden says that he will make relieving some of the financial stress from the American worker one of his immediate priorities. It is Trump who must shoulder the blame for the loss of life and personal ...

A Letter to Donald Trump Demanding that he Grow-up

Image
I'll make this brief because Trump's attention span is shorter than two minutes, proven by his constant tweeting. To Donald Trump: the outgoing President of the United States As an American citizen who votes, I am demanding that you obey the Constitution and recognize that the will of the people takes precedence over your personal ambitions. In what has become an historical election you have lost, and lost by six million votes. Joe Biden has amassed 306 electoral votes. It's over. If you are capable of facing the truth, look back to this same time four years ago. Although your campaign was based on lies, and was mean spirited and void of a position on the issues, you captured the Electoral College by a total of 77,000 votes in three states with help from your mentor, Vladimir Putin, making it the closest election in history. While in mental agony, Hillary Clinton displayed class and patriotism by conceding the election immediately after you were declared the victor. By not...
