Everything There is To Learn From the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election

Government can restore faith in the American people if they do some simple, but hard-to-swallow things. They can start by acknowledging that the problems Americans see have more to do with culture than to do with policy.

Government could be more attentive to individual people. Taking a sample of the Americans in polls and keeping them part of the legislative process to provide solutions to their problems would go a long way, for the Government and for the people.

Americans don’t care about politics and they don’t care about policies regurgitated from it. They know that it’s not only possible, but in many cases easy to subvert them. This is evident from all polls querying the matter of trust in government since 2010.

We have moved away from the government being considered part of the people. Government has moved itself away. Politicians are in their own worlds. One can become politicians easily, but eventually diverge from who they were. This is because of our systems, not because of our people. A people care about people, not constructs or institutions.

We, as the people, must be ready to admit our mistakes and forgive our mistakes. We can look at a mother apologizing profusely to their three-year-old child and a mother screeching at their three-year-old child under the equal eyes of disapproval. But as of now you, the reader, are looking at those two scenarios and are thinking one is tolerable but the other is obviously not.

What does this say if my last sentence was true for you? Statistically, it would support my hypothesis. We could actually talk to each other and understand why we have this schizophrenic divide in our collective soul. One that can be bridged by meeting actions with admission and forgiveness rather than negativity.
