Well done

What is happening in our streets is how open, progressive societies improve — fitfully, imperfectly, frustratingly, sometimes tragically. But we do improve. So, thank you, President Trump. Thank you for showing us what we were becoming and helping us find the courage to confront it. We are going to be OK.

Still all in all, I'd rather have had Hillary Clinton as our President. We would have been way better off at this point. Even the Repukes, because she would have been the leader for everyone, not just her own "base."
