US should shift from Trump policies that have proven petty and divisive
Editor:
I have not written waiting as the inevitable revealed itself.
Today I was in Canada. I felt embarrassed – dirty. The best thing I can say is that they’re pivoting to ensure that economically, socially and geopolitically they don’t get sucked down the same sewer.
They voted for talent. We voted for a gangster and a braggart.
The coming question is what to do about those leaders who intentionally participated in this frightful absurdity for their own benefit or were so feckless they could not spot a forked tongue sales pitch.
Clearly one choice is to follow the road to autocracy and impoverishment of the majority.
The other lies with the free world which promotes modern capitalism so all can share based on their will to excel and skill.
The inevitable is to either keep sinking or put petty, old divisive ideas behind us and join the modern world.
That time is now. Throw the bums out. Start the rebuild. New and better.
