What a delightful essay on the emotional subject of America's political/cultural post election changes. 

Most people of the liberal affiliation are the walking wounded. Women are crying uncontrollably and the men are drinking excessively, hallucinating fascist ghosts. 

Those who voted, despite the warnings, for change, are breathing the intoxicating air of risk, and snickering at the emotional left's histrionics, and probably ignoring the future dangers of a declining empire.

This election will not bring us back to the glory days of the fifties, despite the political jingoism, but at least it woke citizens up from their somnolent march carrying worn out, unsustainable ideologies of the 20th century.

I hope that, as citizens, we pursue broad spectrum compassion and national humility as we become participating members of the future attempting to solve the riddle of our collective place in the universe.
