The easy part and the hard part
We’re in a global pandemic, but I’m not terrified by this. Why? Because if I follow public health recommendations — wash my hands, socially distance, wear a mask — I’ve taken control of my health and future.
You know what does terrify me? The behavior of Donald Trump, who acts like a petulant child as he grapples with the fact that he lost the 2020 presidential election. He rashly fired Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and Department of Homeland Security cyber chief Christopher Krebs. He perpetuates lies about the validity of the election. He refuses to cooperate with his elected successor on the orderly transition of the presidency. All of this puts our great nation in great jeopardy.
Our enemies are enjoying this “reality show” as Americans are duped into believing that the elections were somehow rigged.
I’m afraid for my country when what was creepy, unbelievable, over-the-top stuff of fiction has become reality. Everyone, please, wash your hands, socially distance and wear a mask in public at all times. That’s the easy stuff.
The hard part will be living for the next two months with a delusional lame-duck president who is determined to set aflame everyone and anything that he believes is disloyal to him.
