As much as I hate the thought, I am wondering if the path to the White House is being cleared for Mr. Trump.  It seems that everything is going in Mr. Trump's favor, while the democrats are flapping in the wind and putting doubt in the minds of voters with their doubt about Biden.  The democrats would do well to remember that a house divided cannot stand.  In the meantime, republicans are solid in their unity and determination to win. 

After the Biden/Trump debate, some democrats immediately started questioning Biden's ability to win the election and to successfully complete four more years as President.  With fair-weather friends like those folks, who needs enemies, right?  In my opinion, they should have discussed these issues amongst themselves behind closed doors.  These doubting democrats have no loyalty to President Biden or the democratic party, in my opinion.  Democrats need to learn how to be more strategic in their quest to win elections.  This election is so important, there cannot be any allowance for error!

I cannot say just how many there are, but I see so many Black people on social media supporting Mr. Trump for one reason or another.  And with this assassination attempt on Mr. Trump, even more people are pledging to vote Trump in November.  People of all races are rallying for Trump 2024.  It is really quite amazing to me, because people seem to be completely oblivious to Mr. Trump's many shortcomings.  Some Black people do not seem to mind that Mr. Trump thinks Blacks are partial to criminals and mugshots.  Or that Mr. Trump thinks there are American jobs and there are Black jobs.  A sexual assault case was successfully won against Mr. Trump.  Mr. Trump is now a convicted felon.  Mr. Trump inspired a violent storming of the Capitol on January 6.  Mr. Trump continuously lies, claiming credit for things accomplished by Presidents before and after him.  Mr. Trump admires authoritarian leaders like Putin and Kim Jong Un.  None of these things seem to matter to some Americans. 

In spite of the seemingly growing support for Mr. Trump, I shall remain steadfast and stick with the democratic party.  Many republicans say all democrats are evil because they support abortion and same sex marriage.  I am a democrat and I do not think same sex marriage is appropriate.  As for abortion, I have said before that I do not think the government should have anything to do with abortion.  In my opinion, abortions should be between a woman, her husband, her doctor, and whoever else she chooses to bring into the matter.  God will judge whether it is right or wrong.  What I like most about the democratic party is that they try to support all of the people.  From what I have observed, the republican party is only concerned with certain people. 

Even though I do not know what the 2024 election outcome will be, I fear the outcome.  I fear that Mr. Trump has a job to do, and it will not be well with the people.  I do not know what forces are shaping the future, but I feel deep in my bones that the future will be like something we have never seen before.  Trouble is in the air.  Win or lose, trouble is our destiny.
