I was talking to a young person over a beer one day. She and her friends, who chimed in, were in their mid to late twenties, and were getting involved with politics for the first time. It isn’t the first time they could vote, but four years ago they had assumed President Obama would just get re-elected because, well, they liked him and assumed everyone else did too.
They were young, just out of high school and college, and politics was too dusty a thing at their age at a time when they were starting their careers and living as independent adults for the first time.
As far as the down ballot races, mid-term elections for things like the House and Senate do not have the same pizazz as presidential ones, and they had basically sat things out.
They are very hot on one presidential candidate, and told me that if that person did not get the party nomination, they would either not vote, or would vote for the other party’s candidate because they wanted to make a statement and teach a lesson to the older generations.
I appreciated their energy and interest in the election, but I thought I needed to set them straight.
I told them that I am in my mid-sixties, and although I prefer not to, if I were to die in the next four to five years, as much as a bummer as that might be, I have lived a pretty good life. I have moved around the country, have met all kinds of people from the homeless guy who slept by a city pool to governors and Senators. I have accomplished things in my life that have made a difference, and of which I am proud. My life generally has been a good one, and I have contributed to making the world a better place for those alive now, and those yet to be born. So, if I die soon, it was a good life, and no one can take that away from me.

If Trump becomes president, it is not too much of a stretch to consider I may not have to live through his tenure, or have to deal too long with the damage he might do to the country and by extension the world.
They, however, barring a tragically early death, have at least forty years to live with the tenure and its aftermath to get to be my age.
Their intention may be to teach me and my generation some lesson, but it is they who will have to live with the results of that lesson far longer than we old people will.
Perhaps they should really think their strategy through.
It does not seem to be a good one, especially if they do not realize that the election is not just for election day, but for all the time after, a time that will affect their lives longer than it will us geezers.
Loyalty is a good thing, but blind loyalty is not.
