Election Day Night
I’m going to get up tomorrow morning and be the best damned anti-fascist I can be. The hell with this rule by lunatic traitors.
On January 21st our nation switches from a democracy to a dictatorship. It is a sad commentary on American citizens that they are willing to elevate a delusional, dishonest--probably traitorous--criminal to the highest office rather than vote for a talented, accomplished woman who really does want the best for our nation. That really is what it comes down to. Misogyny crossed all ethnic and racial lines. People who very likely will be deported voted for him in huge numbers. The experiment in American democracy, after 248 years, is finished. The price that will be paid in the lives of millions of eastern Europeans and Taiwanese is too ghastly to contemplate.
I agree. I'm not despondent, though. Some of Trump's policies and programs will fail immediately, because of disorganization and because of resistance. I think mass deportation will fail, because local cops will be required and not all police departments will be onboard. If we act like democracy is finished, it will be. If we continue to act in the spirit of democracy, it will revive.
