Paul’s most recent post takes a look at the state of hopefulness in America, and finds it wanting. I see and feel the same things Paul does, and would add a few observations. Some of the causes for the current gloom are obvious; some not so much. We need to say them all out loud.
Perhaps the most obvious, and fortunately the one we’re in the best position (although not a great position) to change, is that we’re facing a Presidential election next year in which the most likely major party candidates are unfit to serve and dangerous to the country if returned to office. Let’s just come right out and say it: Both Biden and Trump have significant deficiencies of character and respect for law that are incompatible with holding the powers of the Presidency. In addition, it’s increasingly clear that Biden is just too old (80) — mentally and physically dilapidated. But neither Republicans nor anyone else should be happy about this, because the prospects are that soon enough this will be true of Trump as well; DJT turns 77 this week, and would be in his eighties by the time he finishes his term in office.
