This country has given us Mister Rogers Neighborhood, The Muppets, Star Trek and Star Wars. It also gave us Taylor Swift, Sesame Street, Beyonce, Bob Ross, and many more icons and positive influencers. We are also about the arts, music, and storytelling. I am puzzled about how it can elect someone who goes against all that cultural normalcy. Those people taught us grace, community, acceptance, inclusion, and good triumph over evil.

I think we may have forgotten how to be good to one another. Loving your neighbors as yourself. Adopting the golden rule and looking out for one another. It’s hard to believe that people will buy into fear when there is an alternative. Yeah, this is about what happened on November 5th. Growing up I was led to believe that bad people should face the consequences of their actions.

There is so much serious disconnect right now. It’s just disappointing and very puzzling. Right now we have to look out for those who will be most impacted by the change in government. Some people regret the choices that were made. I don’t need it but I have friends who do.

It’s all so weird and sad. Yeah, weird. Sad.
