A word about the absolutely astonishing election that led us here to the new regime.
We’re not a People that wonders about the how and why. We learned the correct answer to those questions before we were old enough to speak.
(In truth there isn’t a human being qualified to offer real insight. I laughed when I heard not hours after the election a radio host announce a panel of experts who would explain where the polls had gotten it wrong. Experts? Maybe you’d think they could find another term at least for a few months? A headline a few weeks ago read “57 of the country’s most influential papers endorsed Hillary. Only 2 of them endorsed Trump.” Forgive me for wondering: If that’s the case who says they’re influential?)
But even without being able to break down what happened there are lessons everywhere — and some of them might well be relevant to our community.
