I met President Barack Obama in a small rural parking lot long before he ran for President of the United States of America and I believe history will see him as one of our best presidents, one who accomplished more than could reasonably have been expected given what he had to start with and the Republicans he had to deal with during his presidency.

Now we enter a new era where ignorance, fear, impatience and the entitlement of those who view people with less money as less human will try to carry us back into the racist, bigoted, elitist quagmire we were just starting to rise above.

The people who barely concealed their disdain for us regular people during Bush's administration are now out in the open. They don't care about justice, truth, or even science. Truth takes on a new meaning -- it is whatever is needed in the moment to get whatever they want.

Reality will persevere. Even the nouveau riche cannot buy reconciliation from the universe; and actual truth is not something that can be written, and rewritten, every five minutes on Twitter.

We are about to embark on the most unbelievable ride of our lifetime and I for one am not looking forward to it.
