Yes, I will have a wild celebratory party with my friends when this movie fades to black at last. And I will likely laugh and hug every stranger I see wearing MAGA gear for the next YEAR.
But this is an opportunity for us to show those who have been deceived into lives of pettiness, immorality and hateful spite what true unity and tolerance really look like.
(Keep in mind that those who were actually perpetrating EVIL will be dealth with. We will be left to deal with those who were simply too blind or ignorant to see the truth.) If we can rise above resentment and pettiness to forgive those who attacked us out of ignorance and fear, that is so much more powerful, and makes us righteous and just, without having to ACT righteous about it.
Wouldn't that be infinitely more satisfying in the long run?
