There's a certain lift in the air today--a taste of winter in the weather, and news of blue wins in New Jersey and Virginia.
Look how many women were elected, replacing the rosters of white men! Look at the fact that a transgender woman beat the "homophobe in chief." Look at the many young candidates who won, people who'd never run for anything before. For those of us who have to turn off the TV when we see and hear Trump talking, this is a hopeful day, a day that shows the power of grassroots protests and people pulling away from the least popular president in history.
I'm reading a good book, Fantasyland--How America Went Haywire, A 500-Year History--very well-written and interesting so far. I'm only ten days in and it's a tome, but I'll keep you posted.
