OPINION:
As the year ends, the prospect of a fresh start for the country is opening up. America is finally seeing the destructive policies of the Democratic left and its priorities and policies (diversity, equity and inclusion, climate change and structural racism implemented through “wokeism”).
America was built on the melting pot theory, which is totally antithetical to DEI. Americans are tired of being grouped according to perceived or actual differences. This is a country where hard work, individual responsibility and adherence to social codes are the keys to success.
Wrecking the economy (helped on by our enemies supporting left-wing causes) through unproven climate initiatives can only be reversed by adopting a rational fossil-fuel policy. Has anyone taken the time to ask why the countries with the largest populations are still building fossil-fuel energy plants?
Our higher education systems are all bought and paid for by China. Not surprising that there is no call to tear down the Confucius statue on the George Mason University campus as an example of China’s takeover in education.
Lastly, if we are a country mired in structural racism, why is half the world trying to invade us? There is opportunity here for anyone willing to work hard, abide by our laws and set goals. It is the Democratic nanny state that takes away opportunity and stifles initiative.
The vehicle for all these failures is “wokeism” — structural stupidity on steroids. Destroy common sense and rule through threats and intimidation.
Luckily, Donald Trump is the antidote. The hammer of reality can retake our government from the fools in charge.
