Dear Donnie

Dear Donnie,

Can I call you Donnie? Hmm, no answer, eh? Ok, Donnie.

Wow. There were times I never thought we'd get here! Especially when that End of Days clock started getting close to 12! Whew!

Here we are, though! End of term! End of Presidency! No longer a Nazi in the White House!

You thought you almost had us with that little insurrectionist coup attempt and egging on terrorists, but really, you just alienated even more of your not insane followers. Finally, we have actual professionals in the White House and not just elitists who want to tear down the exact institutions you put them in charge of *ahem* Devos *ahem*. The country will get used to not suffering a mentally unstable man sitting in the "Big Chair." We'll recover from this four-year-long hostage crisis and stop assuming our leaders will gaslight us. The national Stockholm syndrome won't be the case in four years, and guess what, Donnie?

You'll lose! Again!

Doesn't help that you basically killed off your base: old white people. They believed you when you said the pandemic was no big deal. They laughed with you at experts. Unfortunately, unlike you, they couldn't afford pricey treatments that went against their purported morals. How'd you like that dose of stem cells? It's hilarious how your followers are refusing a vaccine with what they believe has "dead baby parts" when you literally have embryonic cells floating in your bloodstream.

Native Americans can (hopefully) start to recover their ancestral lands. Women can look to a leader of the free world that is one of them instead of "grabs the pussy." Hopefully, police reform becomes a reality with a greater focus placed on social services. Hopefully, legalization and treatment of drug use become the norm rather than criminalization.

Hopefully, the federal justice system prosecutes your insane followers. Hopefully, the new fifteen dollar minimum wage covid relief bill passes.

Hopefully, we beat covid without any more mutations.

Hopefully, the world heals.

Without you in office, perhaps we can move away from the insane nationalist style movement that mirrors 1930s-40s Germany. Maybe we don't make a country that was never perfect "great again," perhaps we just make it great. Greater than it ever was. Possibly we find a way to bring back the middle class, reduce the divide you widened. Mayhaps, the majority starts to realize the elite truly doesn't have their best interests at heart. Maybe "eat the rich" comes through if taxing doesn't.

Guess where you fall in that equation, Donnie?

People haven't been happy for a very long time, but some of us realize you're not and never were the cure for elitism. You're the symptom of it. Admittedly you've got many fooled, and that's sad for them as much as it is the rest of us. Still, in no small movement, people are starting to wake up. People are beginning to value knowledge, not necessarily education but the pursuit of knowledge, which is far more significant.

Knowledge is the enemy of people like you who thrive on fearmongering and saying whatever they like to those ignorant enough to believe them. I'm a young millennial, and I'm proud of many I see around my age, and I'm shocked by the maturity and poise of many younger than me. In my county during your presidency, almost three years ago, there was a shooting at a local high school on Valentine's day. Seventeen people died. Fourteen of them were students. Some of their parents and classmates went to congress and began speaking publicly. Several of the students are currently serving in local government and the school board. Their generation is even more driven for change than mine is. Yours is dying out like your base is. Change is coming for you, and you aren't prepared. You'll lose.

Bye Bye,

Donnie
