Saving Private America

Trump supporters seem willing to take their loyalty to the grave.  Because it has formed over time and during the first African-American Presidency, including Joe Biden as Veep, it would seem their staunch resistance to him is not related to his record of public office.  President Trump has sublimated his supporters' opinion of Joe Biden simply with public criticism.  I am bold enough to suggest no one is familiar with Mr. Biden's record of public governance.  We have not been privy to any expose of his achievements, because that is not that tactic chosen by the Trump team.  When this could and should have transpired in the first televised debate, Team Trump chose not to debate.  We learned very little about Biden, except Beau was a decorated veteran died from cancer.  There was scant information about anyone or anything relating to American governance.  It was a low brow slug fest, one that was intended to energize Trump's base.  The American public heard nothing of service, policy, or vision.  It was a disservice.  Never in my lifetime have I become so incensed to realize the debate table was skewed.  In a way this was refreshing, because it reminded me that when you cannot win you change the rules of the game or slant the playing field.  Mr. Biden he was bullied.  It was not appropriate the president's family attend, because their presence was a tactic to intimidate.  How else could it be construed, remembering the slanderous and patronizing words of the Trump clan about "Sleepy Joe?"  Our President's approach was so below the belt, I feel Mr. Biden was taken aback.  No amount of intellectual policy preparation could have prepared him for the blatant verbal onslaught by Donald Trump.  I understand this, because I have encountered it myself.  To win such a contest for the good of the nation, traditional, respected, and intellectual protocols using Robert's Rules of Order must be discarded.  We are in the trenches, but capable good men can wage and win such a battle.  In Christian ideology the lion must be slain for good.  What I hope is this disparity in presidential politics, against Mr. Trump's wishes, will not result in another American civil war.  In this direction all ready the nation is headed.  Joe Biden spent eight years in a moot position as the Vice President of the United States.  One only has to ask Al Gore his perception of the Vice Presidential experience.  There is not much to accomplish, and this is a disadvantage for Joe Biden.  The Republican campaign against him is not earnest, honest, or appropriate.  It is a premeditated, authoritarian, hostile attempt to overtake the United States government by Donald Trump.  A second civil war should not be an option.  Only unity and solidarity among the American people through Christianity can salvage our democracy and authenticate the freedoms afforded by the United States Constitution.
