#Electionnight2

 Wow, what a wonderful day. 

Fourth day of the supercharged US elections.
I read a blog I wrote 4 years ago, disgusted by Trump winning the white House and being saddened by the reality of it. 
And today will be the day he will be voted out by the people of US democracy who made the choice of not having a person like him as their president anymore.
So many things have changed in the world in last 4 years, world witnessed a pandemic of our decade maybe, US lost many lives to the virus, people were thrown into prisons and children were separated from their parents, his reckless decisions brought out movements to end so many wrong things in our society. 

I was a college student back then and now I am married with much more political opinion than before. Now what happens in my country is also equally important and terrifying to me. My opinions are expressed whenever required and I do feel saddened by injustice in my own country. 

While he called climate change a hoax, the earth withered away some more, leading to massive floods, landslides, wild fires and draughts. His stupidity did not matter to earth as the very thing he was saying caused millions around him and around the world make their mind to not to believe in the climate change. 

While he called out the white supremacy his greatest ally thousands suffered from hate and bigotry by those who wanted to feel greater than others. 

But today when people reject him and decide to choose someone else their president who is sane and normal rather than a fake , bigot clown world seems like a normal place now. It gives us energy to fight what is wrong in the world and reminds us that we choose our leaders and democracy always will survive as long as there is truth in the world. 

I saw a beautiful black indian origin woman climbing the ladder and breaking that glass ceiling that a woman can be the second most important lady in the country and she is equally capable of doing so. 

This election was memorable on many fronts and it was to remind us that tyranny and falsehood lasts in this world for such a small time while truth eventually exceeds and kindness wins.
