The end of the 2024 Presidential campaign dealt with evidence of Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump touring battleground states in the last few weeks before November 5, 2024. Kamala Harris was in Atlanta, Georgia first to make her case to the American people that she has the best policies to deal with the challenges of America (involving loss of rights, inflation, immigration, housing, health care, and other important issues). Kamala Harris said that Donald Trump was unhinged, angrier, and a threat to democracy. Celebrities like Bruce Springsteen and Tyler Perry gave speeches in favor of Kamala Harris. It is cowardly that the Washington Post and the LA Times declined to support a Presidential candidate because this election is the most important election in American history. Jeff Bezos used his influence to cause the Washington Post to not endorse a candidate. Kamala Harris spoke in Houston, Texas to promote her version of America and how Trump desire to terminate the U.S. Constitution doesn't make him worthy to speak behind a Presidential seal. Beyonce and Kelly Rowland including Tina Knowles spoke in favor of Kamala Harris in the rally. She said comments in Michigan to a large crowd and in Philadelphia on October 27, 2024, to advocate for tax credits for parents with children, for loving your neighbor, and for turning a chapter in American history. Trump has campaigned in Arizona, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. Military leader John Kelly has called Trump a fascist including other people. Trump is a clear and present danger to the world, because he wants a Muslim ban, lied and called the Central Park Five guilty, disrespected military veterans and the military in general, wants more tax breaks for the super wealthy, desires to shut down media organizations like CBS if they don't comply to his agenda (when the media should be an independent body as cited in the American Constitution at the Bill of Rights), and seeks the police to have immunity (even if some officers are guilty of police brutality). Sellouts who support Trump like Amber Rose, Trick Trick, Judge Joe Brown, and others should be ashamed of themselves. Rose allying with Trump outlines her anti-black colors once again. Some good news is that early voting in Georgia has surpassed 50 percent of the 2020 ballots cast. We have a record of early voting turnout in America involving voting.
The October 27, 2024, Madison Square Garden rally will go down in history as a bigoted, racist, sexist, and xenophobic rally. That rally shows what the MAGA movement is all about and what Trump relates to division, hypocrisy, and hate. Trump's closing argument has been disgraceful. Trump said that America is an occupied country which is a lie. Also, many speakers at the rally spoke profanity and racist remarks in front of kids and adults in the crowd. Anyone who is a Trump supporter is totally wrong, and I don't care who it is. You have former Congressional candidate David Rem calling Kamala Harris the antichrist and the devil. You have others bashing Hillary Clinton and undocumented human beings. Tony Hinchiffe called Puerto Rico a floating island of "garbage." He compared black people to just eating watermelons. This is the evil that Trump and his supporters promote. That is why artist Bad Bunny showed support for Harris after the comedian made offensive comments about Puerto Rico. Vice President Kamala Harris never said that language and has talked to Black and Latino voters in Philadelphia on the same day the Trump Klan hate rally existed at MSG. Another disgraceful thing is that many CEOs are supporting Trump despite his narcissism, his extremism, and his lies.
One lesson of life is that change comes by action. We all believe in justice, but standing by the sidelines does not solve the problem. We have to be active in voting, building institutions, mentoring, and taking other constructive actions to seek the real change we desire. Robert Kennedy Jr. speaking at a Trump rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City (on October 27, 2024) shows him to be the ultimate sellout and hypocrite. One truth is that we must realize that Trump is a vulgar xenophobe, sexist, and racist. We don't need bad economic views. We don't need tariffs being paid by us which can increase inflation as tariffs are sales taxes. Inflation is heavily caused by corporate consolidation because when there is less competition, prices can increase on goods and services. We don't need more monopolies in our society. Even Kamala Harris' tax on unrealized capital gains will only impact people with $100 million. This is certainly fair. Many sources say that Trump praised Hitler and kept Mein Kampf close to him. We don't need any fascists like Trump in the White House again. We are in the most important political crisis in America since the American Civil War, and we can't sugarcoat the times that we live in.
We are in an era of acknowledging many important anniversaries in our history. Soon, it will be the 250th anniversary of the start of the American Revolutionary War. During that time of the late 18th century and early 19th century, the world has changed. Many human beings started revolutions to end the concept of monarchies ruling people in an authoritarian fashion. Religious leaders like Baptists, the Enlightenment Movement, and the Scientific Revolution inspired many early Americans to oppose the British Empire. The British Empire back then ruled areas on multiple continents (with slavery, economic exploitation, colonialism, and authoritarianism) including much of the Eastern part of America. The colonists lived in the British Empire for over 100 years back then, while Native Americans were in the Americas for thousands of years. This time saw contradictions. Many colonists felt that they wanted freedom to express their religious, and political views, and have their own families peacefully, but many colonists owned slaves, used genocide against Native Americans, and some were viciously bigoted. Therefore, the American Revolution started in a paradox. The British Empire wanted absolute control over the American colonists, and the colonists were divided. Some colonists wanted to be part of the British Empire, some were neutral, and many colonists wanted complete independence from the British Empire like Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and other people. The Tea Act and the Boston Tea Party were acts done by the colonists to seek a measure of independence from the British Empire. The Redcoats trying to get guns from the colonists in New England started the Revolutionary War. The colonists were nearly defeated by the British, but the Americans had help from the French, the Dutch, Spain, and other nations to cause a miraculous American victory. The American Revolution changed everything and caused people to reckon with the concept of democracy and other human freedoms in a more personal way.
