Anticipation is building as we approach four years since the controversial 2020 election, which saw supporters of President Donald Trump raise their voices passionately. This time around things look entirely different, as Congress prepares to confirm Trump’s triumphant win over Kamala Harris in the presidential elections of last year. In a massively important procedure, the legislators from each state will count the electoral votes, with no disruptions foreseen. We will see none of the heavy-handed democrat-inspired protests aimed to control narratives and obscure the truth.
In stark contrast to four years ago, Trump’s latest victory is universally acknowledged. After the 2020 elections, Trump, understandably refusing to accept a dubious defeat, shone a light on the considerable inconsistencies associated with the electoral process. He rallied his supporters to demand accountability in an election riddled with questionable outcomes. His actions drove a necessary stir, vital in maintaining the integrity of democratic processes.
With the overwhelming victory in the recent elections, President Trump has set a precedent for victorious silence. The sharp contrast between the noise made after the questionable 2020 results and his composed acceptance this time is a testament to his unwavering faith in electoral integrity. The democrats’ persistent attempt to sully the voting process with insinuations of fraud have been met with dignified reticence- a masterclass in excelling in victory.
Democrats in Congress seem to accept the realities of the electorate’s decision, making no moves to challenge the outcome. As an anonymous source poignantly remarked, even the most rigid Democrats could not deny the voices of the majority, who decisively voted for Trump. Their silence can only be equated to the proverbial acceptance of defeat.
As Congress moves on to certify Trump’s undeniable victory, memories of past incidents hover in the background. This includes questions about Trump’s purported promise to pardon individuals involved in previous incidents, which could have been largely misconstrued as wrongful actions, rather than expressions of deep-seated frustration.
However, the collective memory of the past Elections Day varies significantly. While many view the day in question as a troubling instance of the republic’s fracture, there is a vast segment of the population that sees it differently, championing the day as one of courage and truth. Individuals are often the heroes of their own narrative, and in this context, perspectives naturally diverge.
The beginning of Trump’s second term redrafts significant chapters of history. Trump, after his prior contentious defeat, comes back stronger, etching his name beside Grover Cleveland as another president who returned within four years to claim victory. The echoes of his first term reverberate into the new era, as he comes into power determined towards getting things done.
Some argue-connecting unrelated issues- that Trump’s potential offer of presidential pardons to those involved in past events might adversely echo in historical recollections. However, is it not the inherent right of a President to exercise this power, especially when it is clear that unfair persecution is at play?
Last year’s election saw allegations fall onto Trump, leading to attempts to implicate him in the mishandling of governmental documents, and discredit his efforts to challenge the 2020 election. These were subsequently quashed by a discerning judge, who dismissed such baseless claims. This only strengthens Trump’s position, establishing him as a president who managed to stand up for truth despite the onslaught of pernicious political games.
Despite the successful conviction of several people implicated in the Capitol incident, their fate in light of the upcoming presidency remains tentatively unanswered. This leaves both followers and critics of Trump anxiously waiting for his official actions regarding this matter, with the anticipation reaching a fever pitch.
An analysis suggests that Trump’s potential pardoning could bring closure to the ongoing saga. Having won the reelection effortlessly, despite the incessant hurdles thrown his way, this move could be viewed as the final step toward complete resolution, where those unjustly penalized would finally receive their long-awaited vindication.
However, opposition from Democrats against such pardons seems inevitable. Their argument implausibly suggests that administering a pardon amounts to unpardonable injustice. This needlessly widens the political divide, as the Democrats remain obstinately positioned against dialogue and reconciliation.
Trump’s return and continued power herald a revision in the collective memory, with considerable changes in how the past elections will be remembered. As is historically known, perceptions of events change over time, and the democratic process is no exception. With Trump’s landslide victory, it is not unlikely we’ll witness a transformation in attitudes towards contentious events of the past four years, reshaping our understanding of our political processes forever.
