The Native Iowan

It is Inauguration day in the USofA. J.B. Has been duly sworn in with his VP, K.H.

All is well in the universe! Like the ending scene in Star Wars, after all the fighting and death and carnage, where Solo, Luke and Lieha stand on a podium before a throng of worshiping citizens, receiving medals of honour. All smiles and joy and hope and promise.

I did a round of the world’s headlines: “Democracy has overcome”, “A New Era”, “Ivanka in Tears”, “The inauguration Trump wished for”…

I’m rather impressed how it all came down. How it all worked out. How it all got manipulated and perverted to a point of fear and loathing. But it worked out, I guess.

I watched one series of FB comments where someone had stated that Biden was not their president, and another person said he’s been elected Prez, so respect the Office… sure, sound very sensible.

Belated but sensible.

I shall not comment on the depth and breadth of the hypocrisy being purveyed about. Nope, not one word about the foolish, childish, gleefully disrespectful tweets, comments, headlines and bylines. Especially the one where Melanie is called “immature” for something she said to Jill Biden.

Such rank BULLSHIT!

But that’s ok.

What’s not OK is the US electorate being zoomed so blatantly, so openly, so cooperatively.

It’s not OK, Not OK at all.
