The mixed emotional bag of the bottom falling out is an unpleasant
experience. I was born during the
last quarter of Eisenhower Presidency right before J.F.K. was inaugurated in
January. I remember the day J.F.K.
died. I was four years old
watching television in the living room.
I knew something bad happened, but I was too young to understand the impact.
It’s been four days and I still feel the heartbreaking,
gut-wrenching emotional impact from Hillary Clinton’s defeat. Hillary who eloquently spoke during her concession speech with
grace and dignity showed the world what we would be missing, which is a leader
with a bright vision. Donald Trump's victory started the decline of civilization having democratic values. That is what happens when an autocrat
weakens democracy. The fear is that
the worst is yet to come.
Two campaigns fought. One fight was based on the measure of extreme
right-wing fascism; another fight was based on the initiative of very left-wing
democracy.
Both campaigns called forth feelings for voters to prescribe
to emotionally. The emotional attachments concerning these beliefs are as
follows:
Emotional attachments regarding the campaign of Donald Trump:
Bigotry
Racism
Misogyny
Pro-Life
Fascism
Violence
Xenophobia
White Supremacy
Hate Hillary
Pro-Trump
Emotionally attachments regarding the campaign of Hillary
Clinton:
Liberty
Equality for all
Free Will
Pro-Choice
Democracy
Gun sense laws
Love
Kindness
Anti-Trump
Pro-Hillary
RESISTANCE
The path of resistance is a painful fight for the Democrats to make their voices heard. The shouts that Donald Trump is Not My President is resounding all over the world. How did we let this travesty happen?
CONSCIENCE
Trump’s mantra is: Money is power. Knowledge is lying. Education is elite. To take the high road was not the path
to victory for Hillary Clinton.
Donald Trump had to be hit hard with low blows and a knockout punch.
HOPE
-
The apostle Paul, in his first letter to his
young disciple, Timothy, had this to say: “For the love of money is a root of
all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith
and pierced themselves with many griefs.”
