Dear you,
So, my America has voted to elect a convicted felon for President. More than that, the felon is going to (try to) erase many, so many, democratic institutions we have long fought to build. Well, there is that. And then there is also this:
Competing images of the new head of oligarchy-style USA: What does this mean? It is so simple, so obvious, so easy to diagnose. The photo of our next POTUS (big orange Donald to the right of Harris) on solid news sites like CNN, CBS, or MSNBC depict this:
While on FOX, his acolytes depict him as something like this:
Ah, the grinning fool (which he is, but add dangerous to that description) versus the "strong man" scowling at his liberty loving enemies.
A picture is worth more than a thousand words.
Trump won America in this election. Shocking? Not really. But the millions of us who still love what we are meant to be woke up this day sad but resilient. Tomorrow is another day. And we, millions of us, know the grinning fool who poses as strong man does not wish us well. He is our next president, a poser. With power. He is indeed the scowling dude who is also a grinning, deeply dangerous fool. Sleep well, and get ready for what comes.
Here we go. Carry on!
Love,
Joyce
