Voice Of Democracy In America
Voice of Democracy Essay It can be agreed that no matter where you stand on the political spectrum right now, you most likely have a pessimistic view of what America’s future has in store for us. Admittedly, those right-wing sympathizers definitely seem to be able to stomach our current President’s decisions easier than most. Among the younger generation of Americans, however, this mostly isn’t the case. Between problems that can affect us on the personal level, such as President Trump’s repeal of DACA to problems that will affect us all as a population, such as North Korea’s nuclear threats, it seems easy to say that whatever future America may seem bleak and unpromising. Among a nation divided by ever more drastic political interests, it
seems as if the state of our country as a whole is deteriorating. The radical conservatives, hanging on to Trump’s every word as if he was a new age prophet, the radical liberals, alt-left Antifa members who couldn’t hate America more, and the rest of us. It’s safe to say that while we all have our own political viewpoints, most of us can take the reasonable, nondestructive, more moderate points of view. And for us, it seems as if as each day passes, any moderate beliefs seem to exists. As soon as you take a standpoint slightly favoring one political group or another, you’re suddenly grouped in with the extremist examples of that belief. You’ll hear “If you agree with Trump’s view on ______________, you’re a Nazi.” And “If you agree with Bernie’s view on ________, you’re a Communist.” And amid all this hate and unproductive insult-slinging gets us nowhere. It leads us down a path of self-destruction. In the end, nothing is to be gained from keeping up our current attitudes. The purpose of the American government, as stated in our very own Constitution, is to "establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity."
