Just sayin’….
Because it was the phrase the created the myth and cult of Trump. Now it can be his epitaph.
Because I’ve been waiting since 2016 to say it. I expect I am not alone. Can I get an amen?
Because in 2016, I had all of four days to celebrate the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series for the first time in more than a century before the orange cloud wafted overhead. It was a much too short-lived joy.
Because for six years before that, I as a Wisconsinite also had to live under dark cloud of Scott Walker as governor. So this is the first time in 10 years I have not had to think about Walker or Trump in positions they used to destroy the norms and institutions of our democracy, and to serve the powerful few.
Because now we begin to work for the powerful many, and to rebuild those norms and make those institutions fairer, more just, more transparent, more responsive to the common good.
That is all. Begone, all of yunz who have soiled the White House. Bring in the cleaning crew.
