WHY THE DEMOCRATS LOST THE PRESIDENCY AND EVEN THE SENATE
By Kabs Kanu
The late Dr. Abdul Karim Koroma told us in his book AGONY OF A NATION that when you are given power, you have to hold on to it firmly. You can’t be careless with power , once you have got it.
Biden and the Democrats were frankly careless, complacent and lethargic with power. They were not decisive when and where it mattered most.
Prices of food and basic commodities kept escalating. They left the Mexican borders open for caravans of illegal immigrants to enter , even though they knew that it was against the wishes of the people. SELF- PRESRVATION AND BREAD AND BUTTER ISSUES CONSTITUTE MAN’S BIGGEST CONCERNS IN THESE PARTS.
Kamala Harris is a beautiful and good – intentioned woman but she should have parted ways with Joe Biden’s core political blueprints. She should delivered statement actions and strong and uncompromising rhetoric that she was going to divorce herself from Biden’s actions and policies. When asked in a major national media event what she will do different from Joe Biden, she stuttered and said she could not think of anything at the moment. That is not the way to win an election where you are standing in for somebody whose approval ratings had plummeted to depths.
Also, there are still people who cherish Christian values , however evil the world becomes. Giving abortion, homosexuality , LBGT or What you call it. carte blanche were problems that conservative people and Christians were going to strongly vote against. They did not actually vote for Trump, per se. They voted against the killings of innocent babies and the perpetration of ungodly sexual lifestyles. Biden and the Democrats did not gauge the feelings of the people.
If you want to rule like that without considering what your people want and without suffering consequences at the ballot box , go to Sierra Leone , Guinea, Nigeria and some Third World Countries where MIGHT IS RIGHT and where tribalism, regionalism and parochialism are the only things that people vote for. People do not vote ideology, conscience, or progress in these countries. Joe Blow, lying in his hammock in Mendeland, smoking his pipe, does not care if he buys rice two million leones or if corruption and suffering go through the roof. Once his tribesman or ethnic group is in power, all KARBOR NAR KARBOR.
It is hoped that we all learn why power gets lost. Simple things make people lose power. You can be the best but that will not make you keep power if you do not listen to what is bothering your people.
I said it repeatedly and people cried me down but take this to the bank : Folks like Donald Trump will always be preferred , whatever their failings, because what they say resonates with the people.
