In the brief time that LMP have become a part of Meridian, we've already seen a new dimension in thinking and approach. Here's an insightful piece from Matthew Meredith on the potential impacts on mass gatherings of US civil unrest post the Presidential election. Enjoy!
Topical and timely Matt.
If you are like me and lean left on some issues and right on others, this might interest you. As a registered "unaffiliated" (Independent), I like to look at various views and opinions, weighed with truths and facts where possible to objectively discern the current issues that face the voting public and our representatives in government today. That is why I am taking a deeper dive into the MODERATEREPUBLICAN.ORG. If you feel this pulling on your inclinations, have a look for yourself.

One of the most frequent questions I get asked these days as the #USelection approaches is what happens between November 5th and inauguration day on January 20, 2025? At least since Justice Kavanaugh's majority decision in RNC v DNC (April 2020), there are those segments within the US who have repurposed the cause or call for "election integrity". The meaning has become less about a process of accurately counting the most expansive casting of votes, and more about introducing a question mark over the election. According to latest The Wall Street Journal reporting, a network has committed millions for a "Stop the Steal 2.0" movement. These doubts, the well-documented disaffection, the sense of rising radicalization, pose serious risks of unrest/violence/instability to the period between the election and inauguration. #USelection #US #analysis #ideas #politicalrisk #election #electoralviolence #politicalviolence #geopolitics #geopoliticalrisk https://lnkd.in/dg9XMDMh

The TRICKERY OF THE USA NEWS MEDIA, AND WHY? PART 5. New alert. We will discuss the upcoming US Presidential election in Nov 2024. When voters go to the voting pole, who will name a better president, Joe Biden or Donald Trump? Who can run the affairs of the USA better, Biden or Trump? This is a decision that US voters will have to make. The red state versus the blue states will be victorious. Or they could say that the Democratic party vs. the Republican party, the nation must make a decision. The liberal vs. the conservative will battle it by going to the voting polls to cast their votes.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -October 29, 2024 / Harris-Harris-Walz 2024 Presidential Campaign Talking Points - FULL REMARKS: In Closing Argument, Vice President Harris Shares Her Optimistic Vision, Pledges to Put Country Over Party and Self Major address in front of 75,000-person crowd comes as Harris is set to take her message on the road to all battleground states in the home stretch Tonight, in front of the White House in Washington, D.C., Vice President Kamala Harris is calling on Americans to “turn the page” on the darkness and division of Donald Trump, and presenting her forward-looking vision in which she will be a president who puts country before party and self to address the priorities of the American people. She is outlining the choice between Trump, who would be fixated on himself and his “enemies list” if he returns to office, and her focus on a “to-do list” of priorities that includes lowering costs and working for the American people. WATCH HERE Full Remarks as Prepared for Delivery: Good evening. One week from today, you will have the chance to make a decision that directly impact your life, the life of your family, and the future of this country we love. It will probably be the most important vote you ever cast. And this election is more than a choice between two parties and two different candidates. It is a choice about whether we have a country rooted in freedom for every American. Or one ruled by chaos and division. Many of you watching have probably already cast your ballots. But I know many others are still considering who to vote for – or whether you’ll vote at all. So tonight, I will speak to everyone about the choice and stakes in this election. Look, we all know who Donald Trump is. He is the person who stood at this very spot nearly four years ago and sent an armed mob to the United States Capitol to overturn the will of the people in a free and fair election that he knew he lost. Americans died as a result of that attack. 140 law enforcement officers were injured. And while Donald Trump sat in the White House watching, as the violence unfolded on television, he was told by staff that the mob wanted to kill his own vice president. Donald Trump responded with two words: “So what?” That’s who Donald Trump is. And that is who is asking you to give him another four years in the Oval Office. Not to focus on your problems. But to focus on his. And Donald Trump has told us his priorities for a second term. He has an Enemies List of people he intends to prosecute. He says one of his highest priorities is to set free the violent extremists who assaulted those law enforcement officers on January 6th. Thank you. God bless you. And may God bless America. ###

It is important for us to know that 1 election does not undo hundreds of years of work. But for those that voted for him or those that voted otherwise now have the responsibility to keep all elected officials in check. #CivicEngagement #PoliticalAwareness #DemocracyInAction #ProjectDemocracy https://ow.ly/qhEu50U3MHs
