Not Shocked

Perhaps one has to be old before one learns how to be amused rather than shocked.

A lot of the people I know are extremely agitated by the presidency of Donald Trump. It makes them even more upset that I am not very bothered by it. My general comment is “this to shall pass.” Our democracy has survived worse and I’m pretty confident it will survive Trump. And I do find it amusing to see both sides vocally claiming they are the aggrieved party. Contortionists don’t govern well.

The photo is from the Telluride valley looking southwest. I had to go and check because it looks remarkably like the Alps near Bolzano.

Contact me directly if you want examples of what we as a nation have survived.
