that conclusively shows that the American private sectorâsmall and large businesses, individual entrepreneurs, manufacturers and industries, and white- and blue-collar workers throughout the landâis the lifeblood of the American economy; not the public sector, which creates no wealth on its own. Conservatives will reflect with pride on the American spirit and the essential role of the private sector in ramping up production to meet government needs. They will celebrate Americansâ eagerness to reopen the economy and resume their lives as proof of their dedication to liberty and their precious constitutional rights. Though President Trump has been given little credit for this, the virus exposed Americaâs precarious dependence on foreign nations for necessary essentials and vindicated Trumpâs long-held determination to restore Americaâs self-sufficiency as a manufacturing powerhouse.
You get the point. The left is relentless in pushing their extreme agenda. They were horrifyingly committed to statism before the virus; they are even more so today. You can count on it, which makes this yearâs presidential and congressional elections exponentially more important than they already were. The left has now fully unmaskeditself. The American electorate will face a clear choice in November between those who love America and want to protect it, and those who resent it and want it to become another failed socialist state. The Democratsâ media machine may try to downplay the partyâs extremism, but thereâs no longer any denying it, as Iâve shown throughout these pages.
Prior to the virus, we watched Democrats and the media deny the spectacular success of the American economy under President Trump. Their message during the post-virus recovery is predictable: theyâll say the economy was a disaster waiting to happen and the virus just hastened the inevitable. Or theyâll admit that there were signs of growth but that they benefited only the richâdespite all the evidence to the contrary. But we canât let them get away with it.
No matter how much devastation the virus caused, it in no way erases Trumpâs phenomenal economic record. Without it, we wouldnât have been able to absorb those losses. This makes resuming his agenda even more important going forward. Just as he led the fight against the virus, he has been leading the fight to unleash our economy once again.
President Trump knows America can recapture its economic vitalityâand he leaped into action to prove it. Having fulfilled his campaign promises on economic growth and demonstrated decisive crisis leadership, hasnât he earned our trust? Having resurrected the American economy when ill-informed economic policies had driven it into the dirt, how much more so will he lead us to recovery?
Not only must President Trumpâs economic agenda be reinvigorated, but his contagious spirit of hope and optimism is every bit as essential. His patriotism, his love for the American people, his faith in the American worker, and his unwavering belief in the free market are indispensable to Americaâs recovery.
The left, of course, will portray Joe Biden as a steady hand, ready to deliver this nation from chaos, in stark contrast to the volatile and combative Trump. Biden, theyâll say, is a moderate, perfectly situated to heal our deep divisions. But as weâve seen, Joe Biden is no moderate.He is a chameleonâwilling to be whomever he needs to be and say whatever he needs to say to win votes. While wooing his partyâs base, he is an untrustworthy pandererâmoving further to the left with each passing moment, even if he conveniently veers back to the center as the election nears. If elected heâll either push, or be a pawn of others who will push, a leftist agenda.
Media propaganda aside, Biden is not a seasoned force of stability and leadership. He is a walking gaffe machine
