You lost
We ALL lost.
Well, maybe not ALL. It was real AMERICANS who provided enough (elctoral) votes for Mr. Trump to be our next president and commander in chief. Milliions of Americans are pleased beyond belief at the outcome.
And still, there is always "The Loyal Opposition" (God knows the loyal opposition gave it to Mr. Obama with both barrels)
So we wait and watch. Given what we know about president elect Trump, he will stick his foot in his mouth sooner than later. He has the capacity not only to embarrass himslelf (and the country) but the arrogance to ignore laws that could lead to his downfall. Looking at the history of his behavior it's hard to imagine he will have a "conversion".
But come hell or high water, or the second coming of Christ, he will be our president.
We must be attentive and alert.
(No...I won't be watching the inaguration ceremony: I'll read about it the following day)
We must be attentive and alert.
I think over the years I've heard you say "we must" more than anyone else.
Anyway tell me how our attentiveness or how alert we are can accomplish anything?
So don't be attentive and alert. Some will be. The "we".
And if you don't have a clue about how being attentive and alert can accomplish change, I can't help you.
Or you could pick up this weeks New Yorker and read George Packers "Will Our Democratic Institutions contain Trump?" A place to start at least.
Oh...that's right: You only read Craig's List.
Never mind.
