All the bluster and hype and worry and wonder is behind us. For all the cries of sabotage and cheating still echoing in the wind, all the votes are now now counted and entered in the book. There is a winner and there is a loser. It always happens that way, doesn't it? The red people worked hard and the blue people worked hard, and Kanye West had his moment of fame. Now in 3 short months we will have a new president. We have a shot at doing it right this time. This happens every 4 years, with one difference.
I can not say that I will miss the Donald, because I never liked him in the first place. I always thought he was a charlatan who padded the payrolls of his kids with "stay busy work" in the white house. But this is not about that either because if I were in his position, I would help my kids in the same way. His wife just pretty much stayed out of the way unless he needed her to decorate his arm. This is about the Democratic Party and the part they play in the government.
(I must interject here that I think my cat is a democrat. Right now she is laying half on the keyboard and half on my lap. This makes it very hard to type, but it is where she chooses to be and will bite me if I try to move her. That's how Democrats are; they do not like change.)
See, Democrats are pretty laid back and do not really want to make waves. As a whole we are peace loving souls and have the live and let live attitude. If we have a President who just leaves us alone, lets us be at peace, we are good to go. We believe in equal rights for everyone. We do not want anyone to go hungry and everyone should have a bed at night where they are safe. An honest days pay for an honest days work. Peace and love and seeing a doctor when the body malfunctions is good. If my husband is woman, that is my business. Climate change is real. The earth is a global community and we are all responsible to care for mother earth. Sadly, Donald Trump did not understand that!
He began to slowly whittle away at our world. Other countries leaders began to pull away. Environmental laws were lifted. Russia was our friend. There is an old saying, "No man is an island unto himself." That is very true and as the man lost his grip on reality he pushed us further into a corner. We woke up to the fact that we would soon be right back where we started. And thus began the forming of the Big Blue Wave!
It has long been known that Democrats are lackadaisical in voting and tend to support whoever is popular at the time. But when push comes to shove and we are threatened with our rights and privileges being lost, we come out of our caves and suburbs and bond together in a way that makes a difference and when we come together with Republicans who know that their leader is not interested in the well being of America, we are unstoppable. The days of Jim Crow are over. The days of flying the confederate flag are over. The days of our sons and daughters being shamed for who the love are over. And Donald Trump can sue and count votes the rest of his life, but America has spoken!
I do not think Joe Biden really wanted to be President, but we needed a leader and he was experienced under the Great Barak Obama! So he was it. His choice of Kamala Harris further solidified the deal. That woman is perfect in that she covers all the race and gender cards and more than that is a caring compassionate human being. The fact that she is drop dead gorgeous is an added bonus.
So peace to all. In a few short months Joe and Kamala will smile and wave to us from the front door of the white house and if there is a God, soon the Rose Garden will be restored. In the mean time, I will sleep better at night knowing compassion will soon be restored to our land.
