Musings about My Country

As addicted to politics as I am, I may still try to shut it down for the next day or two before the election. Too much out there, some encouraging and some discouraging, and who knows where the truth lies.  It’s not even a matter of “truth“ because what may be true today may no longer be true on Tuesday. And what happens on Tuesday may not survive events that occur thereafter. 

How many of us truly anticipated that the American political system would deliver us a Donald J Trump as president in our lifetime? And how many of us are still shocked today at the number of Americans who continue to fervently support him and make his reelection possible? American Exceptionalism? Yeah, right.
