One of the most frustrating aspects of modern politics is the tendency of current administrations to shift blame onto their predecessors that left office years ago.
As time passes, this blame game becomes not only tiresome but also deeply unproductive.
If a new leadership has taken office with the mandate to govern, why do they keep pointing fingers at those who left years ago?
When an administration assumes power, it does so with the understanding that it inherits both the accomplishments and the challenges of the past.
That’s the nature of governance. However, it also comes with the responsibility to fix what’s broken, not just to identify who broke it.
If a current administration recognizes problems left behind by a former government, the expectation is that they will take concrete steps to correct those issues.
That’s what leadership is, merely identifying previous faults without making changes only shows a lack of initiative or capability.
If you know a problem exists, fix the problem instead of trying to "billboards" the problem.
Let’s take, for example, the rising rates of gun violence, robberies, and other crimes.
These are not abstract, inherited problems, they are real-time threats occurring under the current leadership’s watch.
The citizens affected by these problems are not interested in who is to blame from years ago; they want solutions now.
Holding the previous administration responsible for today’s breakdowns is not just deceptive, it’s a way of avoiding accountability.
Leadership is not about excuses, it’s about results, if there’s mismanagement, it falls squarely under the current administration.
By continuing to deflect blame, administrations erode public trust and undermine their legitimacy.
In the end, history will not remember how well a leader blamed others, it will remember how well they led when it mattered most.
