(#6071) We are going to survive!

      I am one who is more optimistic than anything so remember that. Yet despite my initial beginning on the darker side, I am getting the vibe that we, all of us, will make it through whatever trump and his minions have devised for us. After the election I didn't have this feeling. instead it was a dire one. But as each day has progressed the hope is coming back and the chances trump will succeed are dwindling. He has gotten push back from so many quarters that there is even some pride emanating from me in my fellow citizens. How we could have let him be elected in the first place will always be a mystery to me.
     His solutions to everything is making suffering and failure a virtue. He wants to be praised for his attempts to destroy unity and common good. He scoffs at those of us who care about all of us and he laughs at our attempts to ask him why he doesn't! He is the epitome of a fool in his own court. A jester out of touch with what is important in life. Yet here we are and at first I thought he would end us all with one of his arrogant demands that require us to treat his folly as genius. Instead we began mocking him as a way to keep our own sanity. His demands are simply a coercion to get something from us he cannot get through respect, honor or logic.
     It is now later September and I personally thought that he would have made the many of us obsolete by now. He hasn't done that nor has he a strategy to do so that is within his reach. Each and every setback he receives through our democratic processes is another nail in his coffin that will with due course finally end him before he can smear our society any further. He is a weakened bully who has found out that he cannot master the totality of us without our help. So far we have resisted and even turned his demands into silence and acquiescence on his part. We are withstanding his barrage of hate and pain with some glory and we will continue to do so as long as we need to survive him.
