What do we do NOW
Friday, November 05, 2004
The thing that has me paranoid the most about GWBush's winning the election is that I don't know what to do right now. I am almost certain, GWB is going to do something I don't like. I use my brain. There is, of course, my eternal hope that something will change. That it will change for the better. I'd love to be more specific, but I am trying to be optimistic.
Maybe the fact that we almost did get the White House will make his next four years a Kid Gloves session. Maybe he will include someone who thinks less like he does in his cabinet, or general advisorial pool. They don't have to agree. It would be a step forward if I even believed he considered the half of American who didn't vote for him. White Protestant Men only supported him by 57%. His own people only supported him by 57%. Morals war, what ever, he has got to know the deck is stacked against him.
The chances of that situation are unlikely. Although I do actually believe that he is more in control and less of a mouthpiece than he has been for the last 4 years. And that is always a plus. I am still left wondering what I do until he disappoints me again.
Do I move to another country? Do I keep doing what I have been doing? How can I step up my efforts? Would it be more appropriate to do less? Maybe I should just curl up in a ball and do nothing? None of this seems likely. Some of it is cowardice, some not enough action, some may be too much. I guess, I lived through the last 4 years; I'll make it through the next four.
