McCain also graciously conceded. I think these are different times. If you told me what politics would be like and that Trump of all people would be President I wouldn't have believed it. Those that stormed the capitol are being given jobs in this administration and they recently tried to do a slush fund for them.

Our Democracy may survive this but the image I had of this country with strong and powerful independent institutions is long gone.
