In the deepest parts of me I never thought that this would happen. That Donald Trump would be president!?!?!? I spent the last 4 or 5 months rejoicing at the seeming implosion of the republican party. It had to be karma. They brought this on themselves. I happily voted Hillary, how could one not? <br />But now here we are and I think that the best thing for us now is silence. What is done, is done. If liberalism is to remain a viable option and opposition then it is time to do some quiet thinking and measured speaking. That isn't to say that we lie down and take whatever unfair crap is dealt but the time for explaining is over. A surreal coup just occurred. What do we really know? About our country, our fellow citizens? <br />Indeed the sun will continue to rise and maybe one day it will inspire truth and hope again to grow. Air is what we need. And quiet. Maybe it's just too loud in the world and when liberals yell and rage, like I can, then conservatives can't hear, and it works to their advantage. I don't know. And I don't understand what happened. I don't think that there is an easy solution. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
