What are we learning from this Upset?

What are we learning from this Upset?



Let's consider a few things; We have a right wing, who leans far right, and many cannot fathom the concepts of "full circle citizen and persons "equality". If one thinks back, even during President Johnson's march up to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, there were many Right Wing minded people, who did not want to give up "White Privilege" and participate in "Equality for All".
Well that mindset has not vanished within many. They have never embraced or wanted to deal with "full circle equality"... they have no idea of how to fit, and where to fit within that concept. Because, they never had to within their enclaves.

Therefore, as Lamb as a Democrat, stands in the Democratic Middle, with strong support for Labor. Then we have to consider, if we want to bring over those left leaning Republican as well as those standing in the middle, we cannot go "far left'... We have to bring them to the Middle of the what is the Democratic Premise and Its Ideals for progress. And we have to help them learn to become comfortable, to learn, that "Equality" takes nothing from them, but gives them even more than they thought they had, 'because the power of unity, promotes progress in all things that such unity aspires".. Then we can help them learn, that the ideals of 'conservatism" has been hung around their neck like a lead weight, and has lined the bottom of their shoes and boots with lead embedded in the sole. To help keep them as being nothing more than the "service class to the wealthy".

As they begin to learn, they can be helped to look back at the history and see, they came from the likes of servant labor, indentured servitude and made into servant labor, and via the circle of debt, still made to be indentured to the wealthy. They have to come and learn how bias and bigotry, has been like a "limited chain" that holds them into a tight parameter, which does not allow them to move beyond and learn the benefits of unity, and the prosperity within Multicultural teamwork.

This is somethings that has not been made understandable to them, even within the cycles where slavery existed and in the area where black codes were put in place.

They were unable to hear MLK, in the words he spoke in the speech at Selma, because they were so enraged with racist animosity, and fearful of what equality represents.

MLK said:

(((http://kingencyclopedia.stanford.edu/encyclopedia/documentsentry/doc_address_at_the_conclusion_of_selma_march/index.html
" the root cause, of racial segregation in the Southland. Racial segregation as a way of life did not come about as a natural result of hatred between the races immediately after the Civil War.There were no laws segregating the races then. And as the noted historian, C. Vann Woodward, in his book, The Strange Career of Jim Crow, clearly points out, the segregation of the races was really a political stratagem employed by the emerging Bourbon interests in the South to keep the southern masses divided and southern labor the cheapest in the land. You see, it was a simple thing to keep the poor white masses working for near-starvation wages in the years that followed the Civil War. Why, if the poor white plantation or mill worker became dissatisfied with his low wages, the plantation or mill owner would merely threaten to fire him and hire former Negro slaves and pay him even less. Thus, the southern wage level was kept almost unbearably low." )))

People also have to understand that the Right to Vote, was to void out by race the ability of the people, to have political voice, because if the people were freed to have political voice, they would have then been able not only to tear down the walls of segregation, they would have been able to help the poor and uneducated whites of the era, to what they have been denied and how they had been misled to fight against their own best interest. The wealthy have for decades upon decades sold the working poor and poor whites a "hoodwinking games", to make them think... "the wealthy will take care of them".

This same game is what Trump uses against the people. When his personal business has never been for supporting workers having voice, or being paid a fair wage; he stands against Minimum wage hike, which is necessary to meet the standard of living. He supports the low wage, that is GUARANTEED to keep people, in a circle and cycle of debt, which makes them indentured to the wealthy, be it a wealthy person or a wealthy organization or enterprise. Thus so, in process making them no different than being fed, the lines that SERF's were fed, to keep them in Serfdom.

The Democratic Model is about "OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL", "Fair Pay, and Workers having voice", and people have the political power of "Voice"... These are things the old system of Conservatism, born of Confederate Idealism does not want to see happen and they do everything they can to fight against it. Today, they use Religion as a tool against the people in the way they enlist the modern Day Evangelical to mislead people through their faith.
But what people must realize is 'The Right Wing Evangelical system, was born and bred in the age of Slavery and Indentured Servititude, and it has been nurtured from Slavery system wealthy plantation as industry owners, to and through the era of segregation and into modern day, still with the same ideology. They simply adapt it to current times, but their ideals have not changed, nor has the power structure that controls their system of Evangelical aims of grooming.

Therefore, considering these variables, (which there are many more to be considered), it is necessary for us as Democrats, to know that we must be within the "Middle"... not Far Left... To truly understand that, we must know, that society is slow to change, change is gradual and over time... many things can be made understood in the days of tomorrow, of what is expansive in the Democratic system, which can bring understanding and through understanding people can be brought to acceptance of the full spectrum of Equality.

We have to listen careful to the politician, and push them in the right direction, and hold them to holding the course.

In this aim and this gain scenario, we can look at some of our Democratic people, who speak of fairness, in business, banking and civil society as well as business and community. Those are the ones, we must push to 'use their voice" and support their position and if they campaign... we don't need them wasting time attacking the Right Wingers, their time should be spent to explain to the people, the values benefits of the ideals and the benefits that WE gain as being a force for the good of all.
Eventually people even today have become tired of the "attack and divisiveness" because Trump has worn that madness out and took it to such extremes, that it is seen the world over and across this nations, as a negative vile, that does nothing but distract and disrupt and ultimately breeds distension and destroys our civility, while it promotes the intent to dismantle our Governance system and assault our Democracy.
