We finally have a competent leader. A leader who is not fascist. A leader with actual political experience that respects minority groups. We now have a leader that does not make America the laughingstock of the global community.
This is a step in the right direction, but this is not a time for complacency. Biden may have started his presidency with action by overturning many of Trump’s decisions, but that does not mean that we can just sit back and watch. We must urge him and other elected officials to push for the progressive policies that this country needs. Just because he is a Democrat does not mean that we will go along with whatever he wants without question. We voted a fascist out of the office of president to escape that fate. Unlike Trump’s Republicans, we have no problem questioning our elected officials.
Biden simply starting his presidency does not make all of the nation’s problems magically disappear, but it is a step in the right direction. Once again, we have a leader that believes in science. One that does not think that COVID-19 is a “Chinese hoax” and one that has an actual plan to work to get out of this pandemic. We have a leader that wants to work with other countries to solve the world’s problems instead of spreading isolationary nationalism from a bunker. Yes, I am never going to let go of the fact that Trump hid in a bunker in fear of peaceful protestors while he sat and watched live coverage of his supporters committing domestic terrorism in the Capitol Building.
Trump has been impeached twice, endorsed by the KKK and Taliban, stoked flames of insurgency and treason, but people still think that he made America “great.” What he did was destroy our international relations and any respect that people still had for him and the Republican party. Biden has a lot of work ahead of him if he is to fix the mistakes of his predecessors.
Republicans, take note of how I said predecessors. I have no problem with criticizing other Democrats. When Trump put children in cages, Republicans asked “What about when Obama did it?” Okay? Your point? It was never okay. It was not something that should have been done. All politicians have flaws, yet the GOP loves to idolize their politicians, like how they idolize Regan as a pure and godly man instead of a war criminal or how they treat Trump like a messiah figure against their conspiracy theories.
Biden is far from perfect. Biden has many things to work on, but he is a lot better than Trump.
