I turned on the TV last evening and tuned in to the convention proceedings in anticipation that I might learn something about the Republican Party’s proposals for America over the next four years and to hear what Donald Trump might have to say in his acceptance speech. I never made it past Hulk Hogan barking from the speaker’s podium, tearing his shirt off and flexing his aging muscles for “Trumpites” ( his word).

This was truly a “Theater of the Absurd”! The gap between rhetoric and reality has never been wider. It’s like baseball without rules or highways without guardrails.

I turned off the TV and went back to reading a good book. I’m beginning to fear that I might be metamorphosing into an ostrich with my head in the sand.

Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

Actively support a decent candidate for president who will promote democracy and ethical governance. Someone who demonstrated his (or her) competence over the past four years in a difficult and demanding environment. Vote in November — don’t sit passively on the sidelines.

Prepare as needed to actively resist a twice-impeached convicted felon, business fraud, and sexual abuser. Someone who, while in office, demonstrated his lack of fitness and promoted a violent insurrection against Congress. Someone who vows to be a dictator, to baselessly prosecute his political opponents and use presidential immunity to abuse his power. Resist — don’t sit passively on the sidelines.
