So we must be ready.
Ready to stand up for that in which we believe, to ridicule when derision is warranted, to comment when the fear of the "other" tries to become normalized even further, to hold individuals accountable for their actions.
We need to be ready.
Ready to defend democracy, to oppose oligarchy, to prevent prejudice, to resist racism, to veto vitriol.
We need to be ready.
Ready to safeguard our sanctuaries. To preserve our political system that has withstood bloviating blowhards and idiotic interlopers for well over two centuries.
We need to be ready.
Ready to pick up the pieces when the partial term presidency comes abruptly to a halt (that's still the endgame I'm expecting).
We can't just sit by and hope that the recently released Hinckley finds Jodie Foster attractive again.
We are in unpresidented times.
We MUST stay aware ... and awake ... and alert.
And we must NEVER forget to take care of our community ... to hang on to our humanity ... to rise above the baseness that has burst forth unto our land.
We WILL be ready.
We WILL survive this.
We WILL keep America great by relying greatly on its promise of life and liberty for each of us equally.
We WILL be able once again to pursue happiness.
We ARE the people and we ARE more powerful than the "president".
So long as we are ready ...
