This morning as I considered a number of perspectives and had conversations with family members, I decided it was time to reframe my opposition to Trumpism. Bottom line, I've spent that last four years working against the Trump teams' hate, lethargy, irresponsibility, ignorance, and self-serving actions that propped up their wealth, power, privilege, and pleasure while leaving so many Americans and others dangerously behind.
From the Trump team's manipulative, dangerous propaganda, exaggeration, and lies to their me-first actions, I was oppressed and terrorized every since Trump started his campaign to win the 2016 election. Like a cancer, they've spread sickness, death, and harm in every direction. In no way have they uplifted, unified, or bettered the United States as a country by the people for the people.
As I reframe, I will simply box the Trumpians as the evil, self-servers that they are, and put that box on in a virtual compost heap, hoping that once it will break down and eventually regenerate that energy and matter into what can be used for good similar to the way a terrible veggie meal can be composted to make good soil for next year's garden.
I want to focus on the good, the possibility, the promise ahead, promise that includes:
- Rather than a government staffed to give political favors or gain donations with corrupt, inexperienced, self-serving family members and cronies, Biden has staffed his administration with experienced, committed, ready-to-serve professionals in countless fields.
- Rather than a will to prop up his personal power, pleasure, privilege, and wealth, Joe Biden clearly wants to do a good job by the people and with the people. This inclusive and well-directed aim will definitely translate into good work for the people.
- Joe Biden clearly understands how to prioritize--already, his priorities are people-centered as he focuses on the long-forgotten and abused raging pandemic. Trump only paid attention to the pandemic when he found ways to use it for his own gain and fame, he did not take a measured, scientific, collaborative approach to countering this deadly virus. Joe Biden is doing just the opposite to help the people.
- I don't care what party you belong to, what I care about is the policies your support and the way you support those policies. I want to support people that stand up for and support what is good for good living for all Americans. I want to support those who share their honest opinions in peaceful, accurate ways, not those who ignore laws and use weapons, violence, and vandalism to make a point.
- I will be looking at what I can do to forward the good rather than focus solely on the evil has Trump has prompted us to do for the past four years.
