I have been in Recovery, whimpering along, as you might have noticed, since the elections, trying desperately to recover from the Red Ripple. I had convinced myself we had enough of the woes of the Biden administration, that the Dems had overplayed their hand, and that the silent majority would rise up and smite our detractors. Alas, it was not to be. I don't know what to attribute it to. Complacency? Ignorance? Timing?What? Or, could it be that I can't face the reality that the silent majority doesn't exist? Has the character, the societal aspirations, and tenets of our brand of a representative democracy no longer relevant in the minds of our citizenry? Is the Socialist brand now the preference of the majority? I can't bear to think so. I find myself grasping at straws that suggest all is not lost, that in the wings, a unifier of galvanizing charisma will suddenly emerge, gather our numbers, and lead us back to the promise and ways of the great American Experiment. Is Trump that unifier? I, for one, have trouble with his persona, his vitriol. Yet his agenda, his record speaks mainly to my liking, a conundrum. However, I persist in the premise we are better as a nation and as a people to put our Democracy asunder and that we will come together as Americans and do the right thing. And, it can't be soon enough!
