thousands of years...I hope to God we can become 'whole' again. K&R.

"Exceptionalism" magic will not repair that wound. In fact, the sooner we disabuse ourselves of that phrase -- which was skewered and roasted on the backyard BBQ pit by the people who actively CHOSE Trump -- and who allowed him to BE chosen -- the better off we are.

We cannot magically choose an idiot leader, who surrounds himself with mostly idiot people, who follow idiot ideologies ... and expect good things to happen.

We either vanquish them and their ideology at the next few ballot boxes, both local and national, or our great Democratic experiment becomes another piece on the trash heap of history ....

I have a dear friend who is a Lesbian. She was terrified during the election, as anyone who was LGBTQ would rightfully be.

I kept insisting that we were OK -- that the middle would hold -- that middle America, ethos and sensibility, that has driven our greatness.

It did not.

I was wrong.

It is harder to look her in the face now.

She is right to be afraid.

So am I.

But NOT immobilized. MOBILIZED now, actually. Resistant.

But this is not good ....

They cheated.

And cheaters. Never. Win.

Assface, and his entire cabal, will face unimaginable loss every single day of his "presidency". And they have earned all of it, bless their shriveled, blackened hearts.

March On, Democrats!
