Is HOPE really a solution?

We "hope" there will be a trial before the election.

We "hope" he will be convicted by a jury of his peers.

We "hope" he does not win his Party's nomination for the Presidency.

If he does win his primary, we "hope" that Joe Biden will defeat him in a landslide in the general election.

We "hope" Joe Biden will remain in good health for many years to come.

We "hope" the Democrats will win the House and Senate in the next election.

Without "hope", what do we have?

Hope can help us focus on what we must watch, and what we must say, and what we must do.

There are too many hearts and minds that have to change. Having no hope is also not the answer. It's been the biggest struggle of my long life.
