Unlike last time when most of us were caught in a nightmare as trump manipulated his way into the presidency. This time we are ready to end his appointed reign with our eyes wide open. No more trickery or sneaking up on us as he will be defeated and we will celebrate like we should have in 2016. Post number 4295 will be an overwhelming mix of happiness and relief. We will have a new government being formed as the Senate will change back into democratic hands and the House will grow even more democratic. Of course I am optimistic but one thing I am not is caught out unawares.
Yet as I see our nation moving away from the despot wanna be trump I also see his last gasp flailing to hold onto power. He will try to overrule the election and force himself on us as a lifetime putin example. But we are ready for that as well. Our mobilization if needed to help restore democracy is always an option and we who know the nasty nature of trump expect him to undermine the rule of law and the nature of our democratic politics. Nothing he can do though will surprise us so his utter disdain for democracy will be countered by our dearness for our democracy.
What I will write on the momentous day will be both a reflection on our futures as well as our struggled lives of the past 4 years. The destiny of trump is uncertain at this moment but by then we will have a good idea as to his deserved fate. Never in the history of our nation has a stain on our way of life been so deep and painful. The trump era will be marked by the paradigm of what not to do. His total lack of intellect and care for the human experiment has wakened within us a resolve to never let such an experience happen again and new laws protecting our politics from the likes of trump and mcconnell will need to be enacted. 289 days from now post #4295 will be a culmination of the triumph of our reestablished American spirit.
