Since the Biden inauguration I have felt safer (#4495)

      In normal circumstances I would have said since the Biden victory in November after the election I have felt safe but that wouldn't be true. We saw with trump that his ego would not allow him to admit he lost and until trump actually left the White House on Joe's inauguration day I couldn't be sure that a coup would not have taken place. The petty pathetic trump is still harboring thoughts that he is still president and that is still an alarm. Yet when Joe was inaugurated a return to some sense of normalcy began to sink into me. I felt like the worst of what was 4 grueling cruel years were done and a new hope of optimism was beginning.
     Since that inauguration day things have actually gotten a bit better with the steady leadership of the Biden/Harris administration. The irrelevancy of trump and his minions notwithstanding. As I go to sleep each night I am settled into a calm and relaxing state just like I am when I wake in the morning realizing that the drama and torturous behavior of trump is now long gone. The single most important act that occurred in the last year, besides the election, was for Twitter to suspend the trump daily barrage of stupidity and harm. No more do I wake up to the insanity that he trailed behind him and in front of us.
     My safe harbor in today's world is the United States. This is where we progressive/liberal/independents have turned a ravaged nation into a hopeful one. I would think about leaving the US while the trumps were in control but decided that I needed to stay here and endure his onslaught so that I could be part of what drove him and his ilk out. Staying and fighting for our country is our duty if we can and when we do we often find that fighting for democracy gives us the edge because we are fighting for each other, not for some abstract concept that has it's core buried in greed, power, and selfishness. My safe harbor is The United States of America and after a bit of cleaning up the ravages of trump we will show the world once again we are greater than our worse natures.
