Ok. I’m up now. Tell me this was all a nightmare. Please give me a time machine or send me to a parallel Universe the one that broke away before Florida was called for Trump. Hillary is president!! STOP and REWIND. As long as I am making a new timeline I should make it right. Let’s go further back, but where… To a time before Hillary chooses Kaine over Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders? Or when the DNC rigged the primary against Bernie? Maybe, When Ted Cruz took over the Republicans, or the Tea Party, or Michelle Bachmann or further back when McCain chose Sarah Palin? Actually, let’s go back to before the Invasion of Iraq. When hundreds of thousands were about to be killed for something they didn’t do while Americans remained silent and blindly sent their young uneducated males to murder “ragheads”? Or Before SCOTUS decided the elections in 2000? Before William Jefferson Clinton signed DOMA into law? Or repealed Glass-Steagall? Maybe Clarence Thomas doesn’t make it to SCOTUS and America gets a clear message that sexual harassment will not be tolerated. Or even further to an election in which Geraldine Ferraro could have been the first woman vice president and consequently the AIDS crisis is diligently dealt with. Less gay men die and we move into LGBT rights in the 80s not 30 years later. Or maybe we could go back and stop Vietnam and Jim Crow.
I see now this is the only logical outcome. The result of our complacency, isolation, and lack of love and solidarity with those who push boundaries who ask for a more open inclusive society.
Let’s hope that Trump becomes the catalyst that makes us unite for a more progressive egalitarian world.
