I just finished watching the tribute to the class of 2020 and was struck by the job the producers did in representing a very diverse America. The graduating seniors have had a tough go of it this year, but they are a talented bunch and I don’t think they are fooled by the messaging of Trump’s Republican party. They know they are witnessing white man’s last vestiges of holding onto power.
Barack Obama, class guy that he is, delivered a nice speech to the graduating class where there was strong messaging about not ceding your power to the older generation because they’re quite capable of screwing things up. You’re going to have to get involved, ie. vote. Trump is completely incapable of delivering such a speech. He would have made it about him and blathered on about what a great job he’s doing on the pandemic.
Let’s hope the kids get out there and register to vote.
