With Trump's many misleadings, America is becoming fed up with the newly elected president. With all the president's failings, many want President Trump to be impeached. But is this the solution to America's growing financial and political problems? Is Mike Pence any better than Trump?
I'm sure Pence would be more cordial and professional, but that doesn't erase the fact that Pence proposes the LGBTQ population go through shock therapy. This also doesn't negate the fact that Pence agrees with many of Trump's original stances on issues like reproductive rights, immigration laws, the debt crisis etc. I don't think Trump's impeachment is even close to being the answer to all of our problems.
The House of Representatives is also rampant with like-minded individuals. The problem is not who represents us as a country, but rather the behaviors we have allowed to breed. Racial tension and lack of care for issues like reproductive rights and the LGBTQ community have caused us to get here. Many Americans don't want to think about that though because it's much simpler to think the problem is an anomaly rather than a symptom.
This means that America would need to go through a rather drastic change. Unfortunately, the bar is slowly lowering as we go through the Trump presidency. People are even beginning to reminisce Bush's presidency as if the Bush Administration was not a failure. This lack of memory is dangerous because we are slowly normalizing bad political stances. Pence's homophobic policies are being over looked because "at least he's not Trump right?"
I would definitley call this a bad take. Instead of focusing on presidential behavior, citizens must also think about policies and the dangers of cutting things such as healthcare and education. We shouldn't be praying to have Bush back because we won't be laughed at by countries across the globe. The focus is very superficial and will evantually cause even more danger to minority communities. Rather than asking for a president that will sugar coat they're dangerous beliefs, people should be looking for politicians that care about the community and will do what needs to be done. Right now, too many of us are looking for a band-aid to cover a bullet wound.
