“Nicely put but a bit too cynical an ending for me. I'm still hopeful that there enough good people to make a difference”!

Hi M,

Thanks for your note…I used to be a lot more optimistic. Perhaps the House will give the American people some health care and drug help, new bridges and a turkey in every pot in the near future. Fingers crossed…maybe even some investigations…fingers crossed. And, perhaps our Der Leader will suddenly become an intellectually curious, empathetic leader…fingers crossed on both hands on that one!

I do write satirical pieces and this one was…and is, a cautionary tale. In another, earlier era, the piece would be so hard to believe that the reader would think of the writing as satirical.

I’m glad you have hope, as we should all possess. However, I took just one day of some of the events and commented upon what seemed to me to be a harbinger of America at this moment in our arc of history.

By the way, you were not alone in commenting about either their own fears or the darkness of my observation. No one questioned the facts though.

But, as far as the election, a nasty strain of name calling and fear and hatred began just as the Dems decided that they wanted to be sure every vote was counted …both from Trump, other Republicans and Scott. Calling the voting, the foundation of democracy in this country, rigged, stealing, theft etc etc no changes there that I know of

Trump did his, old and boring and unimaginative attack on the press… no changes there that I know of

The press, writ large, did nothing to counter Trumps attack on the 4 reporters…from CNN and 3 black women        no changes there that I know of

Session’s replacement seems to be a stooge of Trump                no changes there that I know of

Trump, instead of offering any consolation and words of understanding is blaming the fire fighters and forest service for the fires and threatened to withhold federal funds at this time!                                           no changes there that I know of

Trump continued denying climate change science and that the recent drought conditions to be connected. Just a hoax…         no changes there that I know of

The NRA  and Republican leaders have been as quiet as one of the dead students in the Borderline Bar in regard to possible realistic solutions or even consideration of solutions to what doctors nation-wide are now calling a national medical emergency.                                                                            no changes there that I know of

Thanks again for your response, I appreciate it and my best wishes to you for the holidays.

Cheers,

Zeny
