My Dear Friend of Democracy,
The following sentence is the leitmotif of this blog:
Optimism is a duty.
Recently, I have not stuck to this theme. Under the impression of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, I wrote that by exploiting this event ("God on my side"), Trump would be assured of an election victory.
I may be wrong. A month later, there is a promising Democratic presidential candidate, and Donald Trump's chances of victory are dwindling.
✊ I was a fool predicting the future. The future cannot be predicted, but it can be shaped. Kamala Harris is shaping it, and so are many thousands of people who support her with words and deeds. I am glad these people keep their optimism and are hopefully proving me wrong.
See you in Europe,
Johannes
