There would seemingly be little to celebrate this year. A demented octogenarian doesn't acknowledge climate change and will be dead as a doornail before it has a chance to bother him, not that the well funded indoor lifestyle of Trump would be much impacted anyway, unless of course it disrupted golf somehow.
But, accidentally, there might be some reason to take hope.
Trump is so bad, and his administration is so horrific, that it may very well be like the refiners fire. It's burning the stupidity out of American politics but putting it fully in place and putting it to the test. When this is over, and it will be soon, very few Republican politicians close to Trump or supporting his policies will survive the test. The Democrats are coming back into power, and a in a chastised form.
Whether they learned their lessons or not we have yet to see. The Republicans show no sign that they have, but the public has made their opinions known. They do not like land rape. They do not like selling off public lands. They are noting that the environment isn't right. The validity of science is being demonstrated by the opponents of science being put into power.
It took World War Two to drive militarism out of the Germans and Japanese. It might have taken Trumpism to wake up Americans to science and reality.
