Like so many Americans, I was deeply stressed out and full of anxiety about last Tuesday's midterm elections. Instead of the much-discussed "red wave" or red tsunami, I conjured up images of horses in a burning barn, bewildered and running in panicked circles, unable to escape their doom.
That was not the fate that awaited the American people. Just enough Americans had the good sense and genuine patriotism to reject Trumpism and the Republican Party and stave off a full-on disaster, for now.
