A sunrise on the horizon

On Nov. 7, voters throughout the country soundly repudiated trump and the malfeasance, corruption and meanness his administration embodies. While commentators ascribe many reasons for the Democrats’ success, including economy, Epstein and election protection, they missed the important effect of powerful public protests. Nearly 8 million people took to the streets, across the country, with hand-drawn signs and peaceful presence, and that action engaged others to get out and vote.

Many people who feel dissatisfied, fearful and angry about Trump’s mis-administration of our government saw that they are not alone. We CAN resist Trump’s dictatorship. They saw friends and strangers coming to protest and realized that they also can participate, at least by voting.

While MAGA media mouthpieces ask, disingenuously, “what do those protesters want,” people are saying on protest signs and on ballots, “no dictators,” “no corruption,” “rule of law,” “democracy.”

Join in! You are not alone.
