I haven't paid attention to the news since the election. One might be forgiven eight years ago that maybe we didn't know exactly what to expect then for the new administration, but after all we know now it is simply unfathomable.
Of course, there are lessons to be learned. And they will almost certainly not be learned. Hopes for the future seem, at best, a cynical fantasy.
There's not much to say. It could be that those of us in the opposition are wrong and this administration's vision for the country will be a success. If, on the other hand, it turns out to be the expected spectacular failure, then we just might have an opportunity to move forward and begin to recover from the damage inflicted. But years will be lost.
May these New Dark Ages become our tragic path to the light.
