I was 9 years old when John Kennedy died. I wasn’t old enough to understand his presidency, but I was old enough to appreciate the effect his death had on the adults around me. It was profound. I guess that’s when I realized POTUS was kind of a big deal.

It’s still a big deal but the question Americans need to ask themselves in the next month or so is this…
Does my candidate for President belong in –
a) a mental institution
b) an aged care facility
c) a correctional facility

Donald Trump is not fit to be President of the United States. He’s not even fit to be president of the local Rotary club. He’s a divisive, deceiving, prejudiced character whose presidency is more about self-promotion and personal benefit.
He shouldn’t be in with a chance but the fact that he is has more to do with the approach and tactics of his opponents.

The first mistake Democrats made was with their choice of candidate last time around. Biden chose not to run in 2016. Had he been the nominee instead of Clinton the Trump presidency may never have happened.
Mistake number two was that the Democrats and their supporters never really accepted the result of the election. It may be a flawed system but it’s the system under which they operate.

Joe Biden is not the same person that we saw as Obama’s vice president. He has declined significantly in the last four years and that decline will only continue, perhaps accelerate in the next four years .You would have to be an optimist to believe that, if elected, he will still be President in 2024. He is a poor candidate. There seems to be this idea though, especially amongst Democrats, that if Biden is elected things will largely settle down.

But here’s the problem.
You can’t be a party of ‘hate’ against a President and his administration and suddenly turn into a party of ‘healers’ hoping to attract and win over the supporters of the opposition. That takes the turning circle of the Titanic and your fate is likely to be the same as that poor, unfortunate, vulnerable vessel. You can’t pour on venom for four years and then once elected say “Oh, you have to give us a fair go”.

The fear isn’t for the past or the present…it’s for the future. If Biden is elected there is a fair to middling chance the divisions in America will intensify, not settle down. Republican law makers will be on the attack from the word ‘go’. Trump won’t go quietly into the night and will continue to stir things up. The hard-core Trump supporters won’t forget how he was treated. They number in the millions. Most of them are armed.

The United States of America is [REDACTED]
God SAVE America!
