The Election Hangover - WHEN DOES IT END???
Hey Hey,
I'm certain a lot of my American friends and fellow writers must be going through the same kind of agony I've been ever since Election Day.
We knew the USPS screwed the country hard after the Genius De Joy stepped in, but relying on USPS after the election that much, comes as a bit of a surprise.
What's more surprising is the incumbent stating "I think we actually did win this election" before all votes are counted, reminds me of leaders from third world countries.
The fact that I was born and raised in the largest democracy in the world (India), and seeing this happening to the oldest one, is deeply saddening, just as a writer who likes the concept of democracy. Governance for the people, by the people and of the people.
The unusual thing about the whole post-Election drama is that I have never seen anyone acting like this, even in India. Politicians are never viewed as honest folks, but they all know when to give up.
I really wish this hangover comes to an end, and soon I hope.
PS: poetry update - one of my poems is selected to be printed in a anthology book, which is on the subject of Political Protests. More info to be dropped really soon!
