The State of the State is …Tenuous!

I haven’t written in my blog for three years and six days. It’s been a long three years for our nation, and right now our country seems to be just holding its breath. Maybe the world is too.

So America’s back. Maybe. We hope. But with all our failings now exposed and revealed, we have a new reality. The arrogant American, believing that we’re #1 and better than all other nations, has come face to face with our failure to address our sins of racism and violence — and our past sense of self-importance is dashed.

We flubbed the pandemic. Russian cyber wizards have invaded our government sites and now have all our secrets. Our people no longer have faith in our American institutions. We’re lost and we can’t hide or pretend anymore.

We begin to question what we stand for: Win at all costs? Does truth matter? Is cooperation still an American value? Can we trust our fellow Americans? Who are we as Americans?

Perhaps we are at one of those existential moments. Will our democracy survive?
