As Donald Trump retakes the Presidency today, many of us will avoid his speeches and pontifications as much as possible; we cannot stomach the opinions and comments of a pompous narcissist, renowned for his lying and grifting. We accept the election results but have no respect for the victorious candidate; the fact that his inauguration is occurring on Martin Luther King Day only adds to our profound disgust.
Hopefully, the Senate will neutralize his more dangerous and unqualified cabinet picks, House Democrats will block legislation that endangers our freedoms and State Governors will refuse to enforce his un-American policies.
Vigilance is imperative at all levels of government as a would-be dictator assumes power. We citizens must vigorously support the opposition, including organizations that work to protect human rights and the health of our natural environment. We need not listen to this failed seditionist but we must stay informed regarding his actions and intentions.
