Some people see no evil, and others see evil everywhere. I call it the “little box” syndrome. Those who see only evil live in a box created by the evil in their own hearts. Projection!
Thanks, Carol. The problem is that people have focused on Trump and all that Biden and Harris have been doing. She has dealt with more heads of state than little Speaker Johnson will ever meet.
Johnson is little isn't he? And people's focus? When speaking about the GOP, the MAGAs, the legacy media? They swat at gnats and swallow a camel - what is Biden's age compared to Trump's rap sheet and The Heritage Foundation's assumption that they are somehow free to colonize and brutalize 345 million other Americans? It's unreal.
"People undecided must be pressed to answer, “Which vision would your want for your children and their children?” This is it exactly. If the undecided can't see and want positive futures for their children then I really question their sanity.
There was a torch passed to Kamala.
The beauty of your column is you bring hope.
Without hope you can't ever correct what makes people feel hopeless.
Hope doesn't seeing no evil, but pointing out that which makes people feel there is hope.
Very nice column.
Ken, I pulled this out of my archive for you in gratitude! https://open.substack.com/pub/dianesbluenotes/p/hope-is-the-thing?r=2sow8l&utm_medium=ios
You’re so kind, Ken! As Emily Dickinson’s poem says, Hope is:
“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -
And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -
I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.
That box at the end showing Kamala's national security experience is pure gold. I hope it's making the rounds all over the nation. Thank you.

Exactly. Only politics junkies know these things.
Very powerfully stated, thank you Diane!
