Inauguration Or Beatification


Looking at the memes on facebook yesterday, I was wondering if the country was having an inauguration or a beatification. It's not that Biden is so highly regarded, but rather that Trump was so reviled. While an independent myself,  I have been fascinated by this visceral dislike of Trump by so many people. It even changed the nature of our media venues, from a pretense of objectivity to flaunting their point of view.

I agree with Nikki Haley that it would be a shame to throw out every accomplishment over the last four years, because of whose administration they occurred under.  However, with social media overwhelmed yesterday with people expressing their tears of joy,  we are on an emotional,  rather than rational, honeymoon. 

I expect those that elected Biden, both in the voting booth and on the tube,  to revel in their celebration for months.  If we're lucky enough for this pandemic to end come summer,  there is enormous pent-up demand for everything, and the economy will expand for at least another year. 

Eventually the honeymoon will end, and Biden will have to govern.

  1. I am a happier person since I cut the cable. There is no longer news to be found there. The print media is marginally better but all the old standards, NYT'S,WAPO, Atlantic,...have been corrupted by blatant, intense partisan opinion posing as news reporting. The facts and truth are what the need/want them to be rather than what they are. Presently it appears these news outlets see half of America as domestic terrorist, this is how far we have come so quickly.We can thank Trump for flushing out the true evil that is today's media. t
    They are in my opinion what is wrong with America, the dividers, the haters, the instigators. Clearly they have achieved their goal of turning us against each other.

  2. Sounds like an old man screaming at the kids "to get off the lawn." Guess right wing talk radio & Fox Noise/Newmax/et. al. are the only ones that have promoted no opinions, just news, huh? Look forward to seeing you tomorrow at the fact based Trump Inaugural Ball at Mar-A-Lago.
