Today has been a quiet, compassionate day in this part of the USA. Received notes from other parts of the USA that a sense of euphoria and an old fashioned optimism for which americans were famous for, was coming back. Reason? The near anointment of Kamala Harris as the next Democratic contender for the President of the USA.
I have never seen a change in the country’s mood in such a short period of time, less than 48 hours and it was felt everywhere. The considerate nature which was natural for americans put in a guest appearance it seems, as I was talking to a clerk at the Tyre Store , who was genuinely american friendly without being flamboyant.
Something has changed, hope it persists and hope Kamala carries this enthusiasm and a sense of coming together (rather than the divide and rule tactic of the conservatives) until the days of elections in less than four months, and make america proud of electing a Black American lady as the president of the USA
It is an exciting thought..
