Forcing myself to be optimistic on what may be one of the most important days in American history. If things turn out right, we will continue to have enlightened leadership based on adherence to the law and human kindness. Will there be decisions with which I don’t agree?
Certainly. I’m an American.
If things don’t turn out right, I fear this will be the last
election America enjoys. Oh, there will be things called “elections” like in
Russia. But we will no longer have the opportunity to vote out fascists who don’t
do the things their supporters thought they would. Will I resist?
Certainly. I’m an American.
It isn’t easy trying to imagine an America ruled under a government
that mocks the disabled, sets a mob loose on police officers guarding our
nation’s capitol, demeans our military and its veterans, denounces science,
places women in subservient positions with no control over their own health,
and rises to power on bigotry. Will the people grow weary of their rule?
Certainly, they’re Americans.
But I stand by my feeling that this will not come to happen.
We have a choice today. Will we stand our ground and speak out with our votes
against tyranny and oppression?
Certainly. We’re Americans.
