Finally Democracy Returns To America

By Charlotte Robinson, January 20, 2021

This is a day of celebration & the rebirth of democracy is this country. The thug in chief has left DC to the soundtrack of Frank Sinatra singing “My Way.” Perhaps all of us will now be able to sleep without the nightmares of looming domestic fascism. This will be a day to celebrate & tomorrow we’ll roll up our sleeves & work to get this country back on track to once again to be the land of the free & home of the brave. For me I can begin to dream again of a future of LGBTQ equality without the fear of that creating a target on my back. What wonderful fabulous doors will now open for all of us. Let’s not lose sight of what brought us here & try to think of ways we can bridge the gaps with those who’d rather create acts of violence than work towards unity. This pandemic has provided us with a universal reset & we must take advantage of this unique opportunity. It’s time to figure out what divides us & work to coming together in a way that gives everyone a chance to rise up to the best person they can be. We’ve had 4 years of watching what doesn’t work & led to the chaos of January 6th. So enjoy the day. Celebrate democracy at its best & try to let go of the horrors we have experienced & lived through for the last 4 years. This is the day when we can once again feel proud to being Americans.
