Who is performing at Joe Biden's inauguration? l ...


But yes, all for granted ....!

When one is old, he tears easily and is moved. In fact, I was moved by watching Joe Biden's inauguration ceremony on television.

You will say: but where has all your cynicism gotten together in decades of frequenting the political and business world in Italy and America?

What can I tell you? Just two weeks have passed since that January 6 that remains in the history of the United States of America as an infected date that saw several thousand internal terrorists attack and devastate the Capitol, putting the safety of parliamentarians and the vice president himself at risk.

And today we got together, digitally embraced, to celebrate and celebrate a new presidency that puts an end to four years of dangerous carnival and cheap show.

But yeah, all for granted....!

Also the endlessly repeated appeal by President Joe Biden, a safe used that at least carries the guarantee of his long Washington experience validated by the eight years spent alongside Barack Obama.

But what was Elder Joe Biden supposed to say in his inaugural address?

We have been living for too long in a poisoned climate made up of mutual suspicions, of the impossibility of speaking and dealing politely and civilly with those who think differently from us, we live in a world affected by a terrible pandemic that is leveling humanity to the point that the 2900 deaths of the Twin Towers and the Pentagon of 11 September 2001 become 'numerically' insignificant when compared to the more than 3000 daily deaths that the virus kills on American soil.

But yes, all for granted .....!

Also the presence of former Vice President Mike Pence and the head of Republican Senators Mitch Mcconnell who have deserted the last stunted show of the gambler who for four years has made the White House a crossroads of falsehoods and attacks on democratic institutions.

Some may say that these Republicans had to attend the Joe Biden coronation event. But since we live in a world made above all of images, even before of substance, their presence, certified several times by the cameras, was the best way to make a large part of the exalted, radicalized America understand, convinced that it had been defrauded in the presidential vote, that the time to put aside so many falsehoods has come in the interest of all and above all in the interest of conspiracy theorists and far-right armed militias.

But yes, all for granted…!

Also that part of Joe Biden's speech where he promises that his presidency will be permeated with truth and not falsehood.

Certainly a super obvious statement but one had to hear it said in an authoritative way having lived in an atmosphere in which a falsehood repeated ten times dutifully became the truth.

But yes, all for granted…!

Also the fact that he felt the need to see and listen to clean people and hope for a definitive turn of the page by rebuilding an America worthy of being loved and lived.

But yes, all for granted…!

Above all, the pleasure of feeling like full citizens of a great nation that is celebrating its 232 years of democracy punctuated by national and foreign events that seemed to bring it to its knees. 

And instead, thanks to the resistance and skills of this people made up of migrants, cultures and different skins, the tragic events of history have been positively overcome in the United States which are still a democratic reference point in a moment like the current one characterized by the insurgency and thrive on autocracies.

But yes, all for granted…!

Even 'God bless America'. But in a world where every religious reference is considered a joke, trying to pray to Somebody above us may perhaps have some advantage.

As for the jeers and hypercritics of America that are read and heard on some Italian media, there is no need to be disappointed, taking into account the heavy situation that characterizes the life, but above all the future, of the inhabitants of the fascinating Mediterranean peninsula.
