What Americans need now, most of all, is a sense of calm. Surviving and enduring the years ahead will be difficult for Republicans and Democrats alike. Because few of us think exactly like our new President and even fewer approve of the way he will execute things.
There will be "blows" to normalcy, to the way government(s) usually get things done. There will be shattered traditions which have been mainstays of our political and civic background. Our new leader will tell us that change is good -- and it is. But not change that distorts the truth or reverts everything to base economics. Capitalism is not the only game in town -- and it is not "more important" than democracy itself. It is a system of financial exchange -- and that is all. It is not war, nor patriotism, nor compulsory, not absolute. It is a system of financial exchange.
