The scent of change wafts through the air as we approach November’s pivotal American election. The tumultuous events in Venezuela may serve as a harbinger for what’s to come. Forget the rhetoric of free and fair elections; it seems we’re staring down a new reality where the game is about who can outmaneuver the system more effectively.
Illegal immigration has surged, with 16 million individuals crossing the border to date. The current administration has handed out social security numbers, driver’s licenses, free healthcare, food, and shelter to these newcomers. Meanwhile, Americans struggle with homelessness, hunger, and skyrocketing costs. California has criminalized homelessness, exploiting the destitute for free labor by jailing them when they can’t afford a place to live. The dream of home ownership is slipping further out of reach for many, crushed under the weight of inflation and inflated costs.
In a recent statement, Kamala Harris deflected responsibility for the economic downturn, despite sending over $200 billion to Ukraine and doling out money globally instead of addressing the needs of American citizens. The working class, taxed heavily on their earnings and every other aspect of life, watch helplessly as those who have never paid a dime in taxes reap the benefits of their labor.
We all witnessed the contentious 2020 election, with claims that Joe Biden’s unprecedented 80 million votes were dubious at best. The Democrats’ reliance on black voters has seemingly diminished, replaced by the potential influence of illegal immigrants whose votes could sway any district. These individuals, granted legality by the administration, may hold the key to future elections.
The integrity of our electoral system is in question, with whispers of rigged machines and cyber attacks casting long shadows. The reality we face is stark: to secure our future, we may need to play the same game, but better. The looming possibility of civil unrest hangs heavy, as Americans grapple with the idea that their votes may no longer count in the way they once did.
As we stand on the brink of this historic election, it’s crucial to understand that our democracy is at a crossroads. We must remain vigilant and informed, recognizing the power dynamics at play. This November, we aren’t just voting for leaders; we are voting for the very soul of our nation.
