Editorial: Liberal elitism downplays true issues

November 16, 2016
In the aftermath of last week’s presidential election results, there has been a slew of finger-pointing. It was the media. It was sexism. It was racism. It was Hillary Clinton’s lack of likability. And, pervasively, it was 59 million uneducated, poor white folks who don’t know what’s good for them.

I confidently claim to know a little about a lot of things. One thing that I know for certain is that memories don’t last a lifetime. They can if you believe that a lifetime ends at 65, which for one in nine Americans, it does. Once diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, a progressively degenerative brain disease, you are no longer in control of your memory. Instead, as brain cells progress from damaged to destroyed, memories which once defined your identity consist of constant chaos and confusion.

We have all heard that Nov. 8 will be the end of America as we know it. On one hand, you have a bigot who seems impressively incompetent, and on the other you have a career politician who makes Richard Nixon look honest.

Like Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1932 for World War I babies and George W. Bush in 2000 for 90s voters, the winner of the 2016 presidential race will be the face of the defining election of our generation.
