When Donlad Trump was first elected in 2016, Democrats responded with fury. Locally, Lehigh Valley For All (who agree with us) was formed. Nationally, there was the million-woman march, complete with pink hats. This time around, it's mostly a whimper. I confess to feeling resigned to four very uncertain years.
My feelings can be summed up in Dave Chappelle's message to Trump: "Remember, whether people voted for you or not, they’re all counting on you. Whether they like you or not, they’re all counting on you. The whole world is counting on you. I mean this when I say this — good luck. Please do better next time. Please, all of us do better next time. Do not forget your humanity, and please have empathy for displaced people, whether they’re in the Palisades or Palestine.”
I believe we all can do better, and that includes me.
