My spouse and I work at a large university in a blue state. Four years ago, we were suffering under the leadership of a really horrible university president, a governor that was really, really terrible, and then Trump was elected. It seemed like crazy was coming out of the woodwork at the time.
I remember thinking that the only thing that was going to make any of this better was to see these three figures out of our lives forever. Within a year or so, the university president resigned in disgrace under a cloud of corruption. I thought to myself, one down and two to go. The 2018 election season handed our one-term governor a handy defeat. The state elected a progressive governor and all I could think was, two down, one to go.
On Saturday, the third domino finally fell. It took over four years, but all three are finally gone, replaced with people I respect. It just goes to show you that nothing is forever and all you have to do is hang in there and better days will come around. Remember this in 2024.
