Trump uses goons, Biden uses the legislature to ensure social injustice

Donald Trump and Joe Biden

By Myles Hoenig

A re-election campaign is always a referendum on the past 3+ years. Trump is looking forward as a continuing of his rule, and anarchy and chaos if Biden is elected.  Biden sees Trump’s America today a reason enough to elect himself. Neither of them are wrong except with the hyperbole coming from Trump. Biden a socialist? A left winger? Attacking everything Trump believes is holy? (meaning himself)

Biden sees this as Trump’s America and he’s right, just as it was Obama’s America in 2012 and Bush’s America in 2004 and so on.

Our country has not been in such an economic and emotional depression since the Great Depression. Even Jimmy Carter’s ‘malaise’ didn’t reach the depravity that we’re facing today. Thousands die every day from a virus the president ignored, much like how Reagan ignored the AIDS crisis.

White supremacy, always there and always recognized for the threat it is by only its victims and supporters, is now being recognized nationally, on the media and even in law enforcement circles. Their problem is that so many in law enforcement are members of white supremacist groups or clearly favor them, especially on social media. And with a pandemic, we haven’t seen such economic distress in decades with so many unemployed and no relief in sight and the level of evictions is at Great Depression levels.

Trump uses only what he knows best to incite his voters and that’s racism. He claims Biden will destroy suburbia as rioting and social unrests spreads. All that is code for ‘they’re coming for your white women’. The difference between the two though is that Trump uses his goons to create the social unrest and injustice in America whereas Biden uses the legislature to attain the same outcomes. Which one is really the ‘law and order’ ticket? Both have shown, over and over again, how they oppose justice for people of color and maintaining wealth disparity to great degrees.

Now that both conventions are over we’re back to everyday life interfering with the political campaigns. Either they get in front of it and direct it or it leads them. Considering the pandemic has yet to substantially wane throughout the country and the unrest regarding schools has yet to start, we’ll have to see who’s the maddest of them all come November.
