Tag: inauguration

As I live streamed the inauguration, I was immediately struck by the weight of such a public ritual, of its symbolism and significance.

Because of social media, because of the news, because of conversations with friends and strangers, I am thoroughly aware that these last several months have been a time of anxiety and sadness for a lot of folks. Over these few months, I have needed to log onto to Facebook for but a moment in order to hear multiple friends broadcast their distress at the prospect of a Donald Trump Presidency.

I watched the Inauguration and then later looked at Facebook and was not at all surprised at some of the comments I saw.

There may be room for anger, if you wish to participate in that behavior, but rather than directing it toward a person elected how about toward the real place it should be aimed?
