Happy to say goodbye to 2016. Good riddance. Although 2016 is behind us, it ushered in the cataclysmal election of President Trump, and the world is beginning to feel its aftershocks. I and the majority of my fellow Americans are bracing ourselves for the next four years. Hoping that America can survive Trump and his corrupt administration's term with most of this country's moral fibers badly frayed but still intact. At the same time, I am fearful that he will bring about irreparable harm to the world and spark a nuclear war.
It is reassuring to see millions of Americans rise up and resist Trump's hateful agenda. Spontaneous demonstrations are happening throughout the US and the rest of the world. Citizens are transformed into political activists, when in the past, they were more inclined to be in the background. Count me in among them. Jane and I have committed to do all we can to make our voices heard and to affect positive change where we can. Thus far, we have gone to demonstrations and have contributed to non-profits that will counter Trump's attacks on immigrants and the environment. It is going to be a long and relentless fight, but the alternative is too horrible to even imagine.
