Every generation has a fight of their times.  In the 60's and 70's it was the Vietnam ar.  In the 80' and 90's it was the crack epidemic.  They both decimated  hundreds of thousands if not millions.  Now it is the first part of the 2000
's and we have a war.  Except it ist is not against another country, it isn ot against drugs it is among ourselves.  This is the war that will define our generation.  By a slim margin, under dubious circumstances a man has come to powe who has no right to it.  His ignorance of the laws of our country and to the chants of our people prove this.  There ae those of great mind and those of great will and then thee are those who understand history.  Those of history are spekaing out on expectations of war, a coup, and mmany other hot button words that promote anxiety but are closer to the truth than the words of our ruling governement.  There is no other way to say it.  Donald Trum,p is ignorant, and he is not just ingnorant within the sphere of governement he is ignorant within the sphere of morality.  It should be no suprise that a man who lied and bullied his way to power, i.e. the last presidential election, would ontinue to do so.  He has set his standard and it is of the lowest sort.  And now we must set ours.  This country has stood strong not always, but often, for what was andis right.  Be it civil rights, suffrage, or education, we have changed our ways and offered opportunity for those who were previous;y marginalized.  But we have taken a step back.  With a ban on Muslims entering  the country we have had the door opened to even more immoral, illegal acts.  We must slam it shut before the spector escapes.  But how you ask.  WHat can be done.  We are angry here.       And the world can see it.  Government does not always stan for the will of the people, bt we must make it listen.  I am heartened to see the speaker and othoer standing in Washington in opposition to one who would take power for his own instead of for the will of he people and himsel making, as should be, their words his.  WIth each new precedent we must fight back but there is a subtlety here that makes all the difference.  We must fight with love.  Love trumps hate.  LOve is that sacred feeling shared between parent and child, lover to other, between brothers and we must sha it no matter the cost.  Love trumps hate.  Love gives he strength to any who choose it to do as there will perceives and gives avenues for thought previously unknown.  Anger and hate burn out.  You can see it in the president.  The smoldering anger of the presidential trail has become an acceptance of power but you can also see in his eyes; he is defeated.  We are not.  The U.S. is not.  At the present time my decision is between waiting out the storm, which could be bad, or leavigg the  country so many of us love.  Granted it isn't perfect; nothing is.  But there ideals we stand for which cannot be compromised and democracy is one of them.  A democracy goes with the will of the people not the ignorance of one.  Donald Trump does not speak for the people nor will he ever.He speaks for the lelite and if you question how he won the elecion when it wans't the will of the people, realize two things, he did not win the popular vote nor is he standing up for all those he tricked into voting for him.  Angr is pervasive, and during the election, some could relate, so he spoke with anger but anger is not the way of the majority.  The way of the  majority is love.  I see it every day, deespite being wearuy, those great americans wo love despite the hate that tires us, love when it does in solidarity, equality, and beleive in jsutice.  Things have not yet come o bear.  The government is not settled and I do beleive there are those out there fighting for us.  They can hear our voice.  So do not as black or white, republican or democrat, or muslim or american, do as people.  Contact your representative.  Tell them what you want.  MAke it known.  They vaue their jobs enough that they have to do som,ethiing.  Their legay rideson it.  And love to.  Love like yu never have before.  Hold on, it's gonna be a bumpy ride but good will prevail.  In that I hope.
