Trusting America

 I choose to trust in the basic goodness and Spirit of America.  I choose to trust that America will be run by the Rule of Law rather than the Rule of Autocrat.  

I trust that The Former Guy, and his law-breaking cohorts, will be prosecuted and imprisoned for their violent attempt to overthrow democracy.  And in the case of the lifelong criminal and fraud - The Former Guy - I expect prosecution and punishment for a lifelong pattern of tax evasion, bank fraud, money laundering, witness intimidation and tampering, fraudulent fleecing of political donors, etc. etc. etc.  

And I expect The Former Guy to be tried and convicted of espionage for stealing and likely selling top secret military secrets and plans.

America has seen fascists try to overthrow American democracy in the runup to WWII as a very powerful Nazi and fascist movement masqueraded as "America First" people who were actually trying to destroy democracy in America and join with Hitler and Mussolini to create a country based on the Rule of Autocrat and destroy the Rule of Law.

They failed then, and they will fail now. 

America, and the dream and vision of America - where all people are created equal and endowed by their Creator with inalienable rights and freedoms - shall prevail. Trump doesn't get to destroy democracy.  DeSantis doesn't get to destroy the personal freedoms of women, couples, people of color, gays and transgenders.

America is going to prevail over the bigotry and hatred being pumped into its people by those who think they can create a Russian/Chinese/Hungarian/Saudi Arabian/Turkish/North Korean autocracy.  The Rule of Law will stand.

Or so I believe.
