For all of those citizens, voters, and friends who have waited interminably for The Golden Escalator to reach ground level, November 5th is an overly large moment. The opportunity to repudiate Donald John Trump, one of the most malignant actors ever to desecrate the American political arena, has arrived. I don’t think millions of People will miss their cue. Now is the time.

Forget about the very suspect polling, the billions of dollars sloshing around the Game, the Electoral College, and even the extremely corrupt leadership of the American political system, the man has worn out his welcome, and also appears no longer to offer anything by way of entertainment. He will, of course, proclaim victory and continue to run his formidable grifts upon gullible and morally adrift enthusiasts of MAGA-land, but the pop and sizzle of the early days has evaporated in his swan song meltdown. In fact, as the clock ticks, he continues to hemorrhage more supporters, and were there to be any delay,  he would be receiving even fewer votes. His wave crested in Butler, Pennsylvania, with mouthing of that famous slogan, “Fight, Fight, Fight !” And, fight they did. But their faithful abandoned truth, decency, and kindness on the field of battle, and when the time came to ask for aid and relief from others, no one was within earshot.

We have a long, hard path ahead of us. If we use the power of this moment to right the ship, to take care of business, to run the affairs of state in a manner that benefits the greatest number, we will see qualitative improvements in our country and world.  Should we go the route of profligate spending with massive tax avoidance by the morbidly rich, and rabid militarism world-wide, election victories will not save our experiment in popular government. I continue to stand with Abraham Lincoln’s advice, ‘As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country’.
