Biden did not win with a landslide, and Trump will not concede, but my faith that the majority of Americans would vote for their own self interest is somewhat restored. Biden will be greatly hindered in most of is goals thanks to a Republican Senate, and what is sure to be an activist post White House Trump with plenty of time to tweet, and plenty of drones in Congress still willing to do his bidding. But at least we can begin to start having the conversations in this country about things that matter, and that is the first step to the long work of making America truly great again.
Of course nothing good will happen until 12:01 PM on January 20th, 2021. On that day, at that hour, we will finally have a scientifically sound national strategy to emerge from 2020's cloud of COVID-19, which for many people has been a lost year, and sadly for some has been their last year. We will have a President that understands that science is not "fake news", and that we have limited time to turn the corner and mitigate the worst impacts of Global Warming, which yes, is only get'n started - and we are already seeing the affects of in our lifetimes. We will have a President who knows how to get things done in a contentious Congress, and may even be able to pass a long delayed infrastructure bill to help position the country for the future. And finally, we will have a President who will try to do something about the old wounds this country has lived with for far too long, and which Trump has torn open again in his self serving and disgusting gambit.
Nothing is ever perfect, and electing Biden and Harris will not be a magic fix for all the problems we have, but the first step in fixing a problem is to stop making it worse. Thankfully America has spoken, and we can finally see the exit ramp where we can get off this highway to hell.
