Has anyone else noticed how many professional athletes are now doing the “Trump dance” when celebrating? From the UFC to the NFL, people seem to be happy again! People feel a sense of relief to express themselves without fear and the country is in a joyous mood.

How far we’ve come from disrespectfully kneeling during the national anthem. It feels as if we’ve actually turned the page and the joy is back!

I wonder if my Democratic neighbors will still bring out their pink knit hats from eight years ago.
