Anecdotal Hope

[Voltaire2]

I was sitting in an ER room with my wife, who has been having episodes of afib, and there is the usual parade of health care workers and my wife is always talking and somehow Trump always comes up and there is universal expressions of dismay and disgust. Ok, sure, health care workers trend liberal, but one nurse walks in to run an ekg and she's chatting with my wife and says her daughter is in the Air Force and I'm thinking "well here comes the trumpist", when she says "I'm really concerned for because of Trump". So I said "yeah he's a disaster" and she said "he's going to start a war". "A lunatic with nukes" I said, and we all contemplated the existential crisis.

When the military families think the president is out of control that is indeed a situation.

1. My daughter served as a Navy doctor in the Mid-East. The only

thing that assuaged my concerns for her safety was the fact that Obama was President and I knew he wouldn't get us into a mess. Fortunately she's now back in the civilian world but I can empathize with all those whose children are now serving.
