DT won’t be our next president. KH won’t be our next president. Now you can imagine who occupies the White House for the next four years.

Cody Coyote at the White House

Note: This photo of Cody Coyote at the White House does not mean that he is my choice for alternative president. It does mean that Cody, smart as he is, might be better than some others.

The presidential election is over. Some citizens are very happy, some are very sad.

In one reality, DT is going to be president, with all that portends. That can’t be helped.

However, in our minds, we can imagine an alternative for the next four years. That imagining will not of course change the above reality. But it will give us an opportunity to think more clearly, focusing on who and what we would like a president to be, unencumbered by our emotional burden and politics as usual.

This alternative should not be DT or KH—even if KH was your favorite. Instead, there is no limit to who you might “elect”. Use your best thinking, about someone inside or outside the political box. Someone expert, someone celebrated, even someone in your community or family circle if they qualify (but, sorry, not yourself).
