It appeared that we were stumbling into oblivion with Biden as the nominee. Harris has brought us hope. I appreciate that.
But don’t be fooled; we are looking at two grim alternatives after the election. Harris is still the underdog. If she loses, we will be at the mercy of a man who has consistently demanded revenge on his enemies–meaning everyone who didn’t give him unqualified support–for the next four years. If she wins, that same man will be calling for war on the streets in order to keep himself out of jail. There is little reason to doubt that the hard core of the red base will respond, particularly since the president-elect will now be a black female, not another old white guy. Then what?
It won’t be pretty, that’s for sure.
