What kind of America do we want to live in?

My fellow Americans,

Today I ask you a simple but profound question: What kind of America do we want to live in?

Do we wish to remain in an America divided against itself, an America where mistrust and deceit weaken our bonds, where poor health and lost opportunity hold back our people?

Or do we strive for an America renewed—an America of healthier citizens, stronger schools, and safer communities? An America where parents can trust that their children are free to play outside until the streetlights come on. An America where kindness is not a weakness, but a strength—where we show compassion to one another, and in turn, find compassion returned.

I know times are hard. And I know the days ahead will not always be easy. But let us never surrender to despair. Let us reject the temptation of nihilism—the empty belief that nothing matters. Because everything matters. Our families matter. Our freedom matters. Our future matters.

If we can cast aside despair and embrace hope, if we can remember that our best days are never behind us but always before us, then together we can build a better tomorrow.

Thank you, may God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.

Unfortunately it’s not that simple. I think the vast majority of us agree that we all want a stronger, healthier, safer, etc. America. The infuriating problem is we’re divided pretty evenly over the question of whether or not Trump is the one to bring us to a stronger, healthier, safer America.
@JPWhoo people have to be much better educated in politics than that for democracy. You're right. It's over your heads. You can't know what is or would be safer with your heads so far down in the sands of capitalism and up the rear end of war! And you never will!
And healthier is something for socialist people. You don't go into numbers that are real! And guns. No way you know what's best when you lie loudly.

OK. But you're 26 to 30 and you're talking about what America used to be?
Maybe this is a better strategy. Maybe focus on getting more than the average 48 percent voter turnout for the midterms. HALF of "us" won't even freaking vote.
And I might suggest holding off on the "God Bless America" stuff considering that it's Christian Nationalists who are REALLY pulling the strings of hate, fear and oppression right now.
Aspirational thoughts have their place but context matters.

Jacob, the fact that you ask, means you are unrealistic about who created, implemented, and amplified the divide. Someone from your group sought total control. Do you expect all of us to sit back and let him take over? Lawsuits. Lawfare. Assassination attempts. Treason. Sedition. He did it all. He has no respect for The Constitution, The Law, or even people in general. His devout enemy is America, and he will still seek to destroy it. You know his name. He is your chosen one. His Alinsky division tactics have rendered a permanent divide that can never be repaired. Blame your guy. He put us here.Oh ,and the evil moron blamed Christianity for The Crusades. Nothing, I repeat, nothing, could be further from the truth, and documented reality. The Crusades were a Chrisitan reaction to Islamic waged war. We know who started that conflict, and it wasn't Christians. Like The Crusades, our country is reacting to the man who started all of this. He started it all in hopes of destroying America from within, permanently. He is a low IQ moron. He is trying to destroy the greatest system of governance in human history all due to Melanin, and Religion. Only an idiot would do this. He is.

The Crusaders were far from a monolithic group of righteous heroes. They were a mix of commoners, knights, and military orders who committed atrocities as well as acts of faith.

Sounds like the early 80's.

What do you choose?

Pottersville or Bedford Falls?

Think about it.

A great one. But unfortunately some prefer chaos over peace.🕊
Socialism was the other way. Hate, war, capitalism and ecocide forever was the popular choice! You cool kids got this! Us socialist nerds can't stop ecocide!
