Some Statistics Which Might Surprise You
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
I have no doubt some of these statistics will surprise and
even shock you. However, they are based on facts. The mainstream media, Fox
News, and right-wing politicians will never tell you the truth. The truth would
greatly harm those who call themselves “Republicans” today. Remember,
billionaires control the right-wing, and money is the only thing of importance
in 21st century America.
I believe that if most Americans were aware that 30 percent
of all Americans reject organized religion today, it would change attitudes
across our country about multiple issues, including abortion, and the rights of
the LGBTQ community. That number is about 90,000,000 people. The most
interesting part of this fact is that millennials and succeeding generations
compose a large number of this statistic. With an average age of all Americans
at 38.3 years of age, this is a significant fact. If women and younger
Americans came to agreements on every important issue, they would control every
election for the next 50-100 years.
Our federal government contains five political parties.
There is one on the left side of the aisle, composed of Democrats. Independents
are frequently aligned with their liberal colleagues. These are the first two,
and it might surprise you to learn that in 2023, 25% of people identified as
Democrat, 25% as Republican, and 49% Independent.
On the right side of the aisle, there are three entirely
different parties. There are a few moderate, real Republicans, and two
extremist groups calling themselves the TEA Party, and the Freedom Caucus. Both
are extreme, but the Freedom Caucus is so far to the right it should be renamed
the “American Fascist Party.” These anti-Americans compose 46 members of the
House. The Speaker is a devout member of this group.
Fact: the Great Recession during the Bush Administration was
the result of poor and greedy decisions by Wall Street bankers. None of them
have been charged or punished for their criminal actions. In fact, not a single
man or woman with great wealth or power in America has ever been fairly punished
for their crimes. Trump remains a free man although he committed treason on
January 6, 2021, and stole government secrets, lied about this fact, and
planned to sell them to the highest bidder, including foreign nations. Anyone
remember the Rosenbergs executions in 1955?
Trump is personally responsible for tens-of-thousands of
American lives for his failure to act when he was informed of an approaching health
emergency in December of 2019. Trump told the American people that the pandemic
“would just go away” until Americans began to die in March of 2020. His refusal
to act on the advice of his advisors is the reason more than one-million
Americans lost their lives from Covid-19. An additional effect was a near
recession which was prevented by President Biden’s quick decisions.
All of these revelations prove that right-wing politicians
are incapable and unwilling to do the right thing for the American people.
We can only win the Second Civil War if we go to the polls
in large numbers and ensure that Democrats remain in control of the executive
branch and the Senate, and regain control of the House.
Vote for yourselves, not a greedy political party.
