to the next four years

Here’s hoping it won’t be quite as long a walk home as expected. As Springsteen put it:

You know that flag flying over the courthouse
Means certain things are set in stone
Who we are, what we’ll do and what we won’t.

We may have lost our way, done some of those things we wouldn’t and shouldn’t do (such as forgetting that we were founded on the idea that all Men, regardless of nationality, are endowed with inalienable rights), but we’re about to take that first big step on the road home.
