We Know the Better America...

We walked around town yesterday. Super-cold here. It's a Blue Bubble Town in a Blue State. The streets alive with a vibrant rainbow of humanity. It's a town with a large, presitigious University, there are students from all over the world who go to school here. It a totally diverse, impressively intelligent & a very educated community, with all levels of income, all races, creeds & colors. Equity, Diversity & Inclusion are not only fine with us here, those values are essential to our community, fostered & celebrated. It's an open-hearted, open-armed, very friendly town. A great place to live. It's the America I know and love intimately. The hate, madness and idiocy emanating out of Washington D.C. can't erase any of that; our world, our reality, our life here is so much better than that cruel, stupid, nihilistic vision snaking thru the corridors of Federal power. We know what we love, we value the beautiful, vivid, lively, "melting pot" version of America. We aren't going anywhere. We can't be erased. We will stand our ground. All the lies and bullshit, bad blood, idiocy, revenge and madness doesn't really impress us. What a fool's errand. We know we have the better vision based upon reality and clear-seeing. The assholes are trying to foist a false reality upon us all, filled with lies and idiocies. It is quite ugly over there,  all that huffing & puffing, sound & fury. But it truly is a tale told by an idiot. Their vision is flawed, soulless, ridiculous, harsh and stupid. A false America, a badly-concieved version that will not fly. Damn the torpedoes...
