Finally, America!

After what seems like decades being ruled by the Orange Buffoon, You made a great choice, with record-breaking voter turn out and record breaking numbers of votes cast!

You elected someone who urged patience and calm in light of not having a decisive result; someone who relied upon democratic processes to unfold as they were designed to do.

Someone who didn’t need to manipulate national airwaves in order to clearly, and very sadly, show the world what a tiny, spoiled, autocratic nihilist he is.

The Orange Buffoon has incessantly tweeted for his followers to take to the streets – more succinctly – to the actual precincts at which the votes are being counted. He is advocating for violence because the baby doesn’t want to leave the crib.

You elected someone who realizes and appreciates that profound divisions exist in your country.  Someone who wants to sow the seeds of reparation and rebuilding, in the midst of the worst pandemic we have ever witnessed.  You elected someone other countries can and will respect.

You elected the first BIPOC female Vice President! Well done! 

You elected a more representative Vice President – one who will work for others exactly like her – because she knows precisely what it is to carry the weight of multiple cultures and still respect the country in which she lives. She does this while being an accomplished, dedicated, driven human being who believes in empowering others. 

That’s what you call educated and balanced. That, my friends, is what you call the awesome dynamism of an empowered woman.

Women are 50% of the world’s population and hold 50% of the world’s purchasing power. It makes sense to trust us in positions of leadership. 

You elected a team that wants to get this virus under control.  With 240,000+ deaths and rising, this is a mandate for survival. You chose the people who can secure that survival – from PPE supplies to financial resources, you chose your health and safety above everything else.  Smart choice. And well done to all of you who voted by mail-in-ballot!

You elected a team who believe in healing the deep divisions that exist within America; a team who are prepared to work with people who deeply disagree with them. 

You elected someone who understands that not everyone pays taxes.  There are those of you who are earning incredulous amounts of money and have never paid your fair share of the tax burden.  (The OB included.) It’s time for equilibrium.

You voted for a team who are going to rely on evidence from scientists and the medical field and front line workers and teachers.

You elected a team who don’t believe in persecuting religious minorities because a few “rotten apples” have inappropriately come to represent the billions of others. 

You elected a team who won’t spew hatred at the female members of Congress simply because they are female.

You elected a team that is going to take America back to the Kiyoto and Paris agreements  — a team who doesn’t believe that climate change is a hoax perpetrated by China. Nor do they believe that tweeting at the television 24/7 and burying their heads in the sand will solve the problem.

You elected a team who believe that it’s not okay to run a campaign bus off the road, no matter your beliefs. 

You elected a president and vice president who are going to bring respect of the institution back to the White House. 

You elected a President who believes all of you deserve affordable health care.  America, I have NEVER understood your lack of wanting reasonably priced, accessible health care.  Yet, day in and day out, your complaints about how “tough things are,” are heard the world over. 

At least now you chose someone with direct experience bringing into law the affordable care act.  Another smart choice.

You believed in and voted for a team of people who know that America is a land of immigrants.  All of whom should have the right to an education and an ability to contribute to, and profit from, the “land of dreams.” They know that as immigrants, some of you face specific challenges others do not. 

They know that the NRA should answer for their lack of participation when it comes to gun control.  (By the way, if you need an assault rifle to hunt, you should give up hunting)

Finally, you elected a team of people who want to make sure you are well taken care of. 

Don’t you think it’s time for goodness?  Have the past four years, and all of 2020 not been challenging enough? It’s time to say goodbye to the OB and hello to the Biden-Harris team.

To be honest, your friends and neighbours have missed you.

Just one huge request – please, never again, allow the Orange Buffoon or his offspring, to hold any office of any kind.

Perhaps he and his wife can go decorate some trees.
