Be concerned about your children and grandchildren. This
despicable President will now be able to make a second Supreme Court
appointment, and we can only shudder at the consequences of that. Medicare and
Social Security are in deep financial trouble. This administration has
noticeably diminished America’s stature in the world. The Congress can do
nothing but pass tax cuts for the rich. Among them integrity and decency are
more and more rare. Leadership in government is about ideology and personal
gain more than about compassion and problem solving, undoing more than doing.
Civil discourse is eroded. Money and power are gods, and God is ideology.
As always, there is still hope. Women and minorities in
political wins. Grassroots resistance. The voices of compassion and justice can
still be heard. Faith in optimism and resilience. A number of thoughtful people
have begun to write and speak about the failure of American democracy, and the
signs are clearly here. But we are still a great country; but fortunately not yet
great in the twisted Trumpian way.
