What I Got ... [View all]
When I cast my ballot for Joe Biden in November 2020, I was convinced that I was voting for a decent and honourable man, one who would do his best to unite a divided country and right the wrongs done by his predecessor.
Starry-eyed - and perhaps a bit politically naive - I assumed that he would recognize the limitations of his office and would work within the boundaries set by his opponents, ever cautious of the consequences of moving too fast, too boldly, too determined to do the right thing.
What I got was a President who has exceeded all expectations - a President not content with playing defense, but a man more than willing to take the fight to the "other side of the aisle" and demand that those who are anti-democracy defend their statements, their actions, and their participation in attempting to overthrow the government they now claim to want to preserve and protect.
I voted for a mild-mannered, self-deprecating, ever-humble Clark Kent - what I got was Superman.
