I devoted much of the week immediately subsequent to our national plebiscite to a gnashing of teeth, the rending of my garments and hurling furious and enraged obscenities and imprecations in response to the electoral results our citizens have orchestrated.

However, now that I have purged my bile and expended my rage and grief about this most tragic reality, it is now time to consider in a posture of calm and rational contemplation what must those of us who are irrevocably committed to the preservation of our constitutional order and all that flows from that centerpiece of the American experience and its retention, must undertake at this moment to ensure that at the conclusion of the Trump hegemony our nation shall remain intact in the form and function which was reflected at the commencement of this administration.

It is my considered judgement that three equally critical initiatives must be immediately invoked. The initial endeavor is one that falls within the purview of our currently serving Commander-in-Chief. The second project is one that will require significant resources both human and financial and must remain vigorously operational throughout the four years during which Mr. Trump occupies the West Wing.

The third element of this trinity of imperatives is concerned with the reestablishment of cordial and mutually respectful relations with many of our fellow citizens who have rejected our offerings and the options we have presented for their electoral support, and as a result have become convinced that the quality of their lives and their financial prospects will be better served by the menu of policy recommendations which has been articulated in the current Republican platform.

President Biden it is to you sir that I respectfully address the following requests that happily you may should you choose to, unilaterally implement, via Executive orders. It is my fervent hope that you will immediately order the release to the Ukranian government of the approximately 300 billion dollars of Russian assets that are currently impounded.

These funds shall provide irrespective of the actions which your successor may undertake, i.e. the reduction or elimination of any further financial or military assistance to this sovereignty, with the continued capability to wage an effective military campaign in defense of its existence.

In addition to this activity it is my companionate hope that you will prior to the conclusion of your term shall finalize those determinations with our NATO partners that reflect whatever probable contingencies may eventuate in that theater of war, so that they remain committed to providing the maximum magnitude of aid e.g. fiscal support, weapons technology, and strategic and tactical recommendations, should the U.S. become disinterested in ensuring that nation’s continued viability.

Finally, Mr. President, in a critically related matter I respectfully request that you remove the restrictions you have imposed on the Ukranian government with regard to the use of weapons we have furnished to them. As you are obviously aware should they be permitted to deploy these systems that reflect their maximum capabilities the damage they would inflict would be substantially augmented.

I am seeking your acquiescence to this prospective course of action not predicated as a response to the barbaric conduct that has characterized the Russian invasion and the enormity of the civilian casualties their conduct has exacted, but because the substantially increased damage and associated fatalities among the Russian forces which unleashing the totality of these weapon’s capabilities, may create the incentives required to stimulate a desire in Vladimir Putin to both seek discussions that will culminate in a cease fire and ultimately a state of peace between these belligerents and to engage in these deliberations in a posture of greater flexibility as well as a more conciliatory tone, which these increased casualties will have provoked.

The second crucial endeavor to which we who comprise the multi-faceted national coalition of organizations and individuals who vehemently oppose those prospective benighted and punitive initiatives that shall emanate from the White House once the 47th presidents term commences, must immediately create a comprehensive strategic response capability.

This shall be an instrumentality that will devote the period between this moment and the inauguration day ceremonies to formulating both the strategic plan and its prospective tactical implementation, to ensure that such grotesquely immoral projects as the mass deportation of the immigrants among us fails.

That whatever efforts are forthcoming to curb our civil liberties or inhibit the media’s capacities to critically evaluate this administration’s actions when they choose, that the tariffs which Trump has pledged to impose, that will result in an inflationary spiral and a recession that will inflict substantial suffering on those in this nation whose financial status is meager and precarious, as well as so many other policy and programmatic overtures that this cheif executive will introduce, that are cruel, immoral, and catastrophically elevate the quotient of deprivation and chaos in the lives of our fellow citizens, and thus must meet the identical fate of resounding failure.

I leave to those in the progressive universe the determinations as to precisely where this entity is situated, its specific mandate, its organizational structure, and the budgetary requirements to operationalize and sustain this imperative activity that must endure throughout the entirety of Donald Trump’s tenure.

I am a ferocious advocate of this course of action, i.e. the establishment of this national entity in order to minimize or eliminate the activation of a multiplicity of groups that will expend their resources, technical, fiscal, cognitive, etc. in a posture that will be duplicative and fragmented, when by precluding that eventuality the massive resources of those that comprise America’s progressive community may be deployed in the service of the specific initiatives that this strategic resource capability formulates and implements.

Moreover, I am absolutely certain that an activity with this sacred mission and mandate must be constructed as rapidly as feasible and commence the discharge of its incomparably important duties and responsibilities, if we are to emerge intact as a constitutional republic with the vibrant and unimpeded functioning of a dynamic democratic polity undiminished.

Finally, permit me to address the results of November 5th. The tragic electoral rejection of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz by our populace will long reverberate throughout our consciousness and collective memories, and as the Trump administration’s agenda unfolds many who supported his candidacy shall live to experience the draconian impact of his political preferences and objectives, and mourn and bemoan in retrospect how ill-considered and self-destructive their electoral predispositions in support of this demagogue will appear, as they absorb the pain and deprivation his governing proclivities have generated.

However, Senator Sanders is most accurate in his assessment that we the Democratic establishment have abandoned the members of this nation’s working class, and as a result they have sought the amelioration of their woes and burdens from those who espouse the values and prejudices enunciated by their MAGA standard-bearer.

Thus, what is in my view now required by all who function anywhere within the universe of our Democratic party be they elected officials or those that serve in staff capacities, at the local, state, and national, levels, is the explicit issuance to the American people of a Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa, for the apathy and callous disregard we have displayed to the concerns and desires of so many among us who as working-class Americans are responsible in their daily exertions in maintaining the structural, and functional integrity of our economy, and thus more broadly the continued viability of our society.

Subsequent to conveying our sincerest and authentic regrets for our behavior of which we have been guilty ever more profoundly since the conclusion of the Obama presidency, we must immediately commit ourselves to the following course of action, i.e. that we shall listen to the views and statements and aspirations of our constituents with a renewed attentiveness and genuine interest, and solicit their opinions and recommendations regarding those policy and programmatic initiatives that they believe contain the potential if enacted to improve their lives and their personal financial prospects.

In support of this national raison d’etre we must provide our unrelenting advocacy for all those efforts to enhance unimpeded access to union membership,to elevate the minimum wage in every jurisdiction, to demand that multi-national corporations allocate a substantial portion of their productivity increments to the employees whose exertions are responsible for these improvements, and to augment the scope and magnanimity of profit-sharing plans for those who comprise their workforce.

So too must we insist on government policies that significantly increase our nation’s portfolio of affordable housing, and vigorously assist those organizations at the local level who are seeking the revision of zoning regulations to permit the construction of multi-unit housing structures in these neighborhoods.

In addition to the preceding enumerations , we must be prepared to participate in other political endeavors which reflect the depth and breadth of our sincere empathy and fervent desire to alleviate their financial precarity and assist them in their struggles to convert their aspirations for themselves and their families into the vital realities that they are seeking to actualize.

What we shall derive from the continuing demonstration of this commitment of our political energy and capabilities to those who comprise this segment of our society, is the restoration of their appreciation of our exertions on their behalf and the companionate electoral support for those who have been responsive, in the mutual quest to both diminish their burdens and elevate their quality of life.

Moreover at the epicenter of our exertions we must prepare the efficacious programmatic and policy antidotes to those political decisions that negatively impact the financial welfare and escalate the instability and decomposition of the fragile and vulnerable nuclear families of our working class brethren, from the horrific impact which the deployment of the domestic agenda Donald Trump articulated during his campaign to recapture the White House will have wrought.

The response we construct that shall form the central element of the platform that shall undergird the campaigns we initiate on behalf of this aggrieved segment of our populace when the midterm elections transpire in 2026, will both mitigate their economic affliction and reimpose our presence as the enlightened and dominant majority in both the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate.

However, as we engage in the preceding spectrum of activities it is imperative that we retain our vigorous and undiminished commitment to every element and component of our substantial national coalition, with particular attention to those to whom considerations of identity, and the LGBTQ community as well as those who protect critical academic freedoms . are of supreme importance.

We must not be tempted to join the rising anti-democratic chorus of those who condemn and vilify our fellow Americans who comprise these populations and instead remind them and other residents of this republic that their rights and concerns are as valid and legitimate as the priorities and ambitions of all other individual s irrespective of the normative systems to which they suscribe.

In this the final segment of 2024 during which we acknowledge our gratitude for the gifts and prosperity which residence in America bestows upon us and the subsequent celebration of various religious holidays which remind us of the transcendent value of joy, love, peace and our requirement to coexist in postures of collective affinity and mutual respect, we must also devote our energies and concerns to preparing to respond and neutralize the unprecedented challenges to the maintenance of our democratic polity which the imminent return of Donald Trump to the presidency augurs.

Though this enormously disquieting reality is one that so many of us devoutly wished would not eventuate it tragically has come to pass, and we must respond to this unalterable political future with the intelligence, rationality, energy, vision, and unflagging commitment and resilience, which the literal salvation of our democracy requires.

We possess the requisite capacities and capabilities to triumph in this struggle, if we are and remain unremittingly committed to ensure that victory will ultimately crown our exertions, and as a result we shall entrust to our children and future generations this extraordinary cultural experiment which has endured and evolved and provided incomparably significant global leadership in the decades that have elapsed since the conclusion of the second world war.

Thus, have I completed my analysis of our contemporary political circumstances and what in my view we the tens of millions of us who value the perpetuation of our society’s constitutional order that has remained viable for almost 250 years must immediately initiate, if we are to survive the potentially catastrophic depredations that could befall us during the administration of the 47th president of the United States.

It is my intent to engage with every fiber of my being, equipped with the inheritance of the unrelenting ferocity which my service in the U.S. Marine Corps during the Vietnam era has instilled, armed with the spiritual endowment which the legacy of 32 years of sobriety has nurtured, deriving the incalculably rich insights which my fidelity to the prophetic traditions of the Jewish faith have produced, and profiting enormously from the incredibly lavish intellectual fertility that I was exposed to during my graduate studies at Brown University, to oppose in concert with the skill and talents and energies of tens of millions of Americans, any and all attempts by the administration that are injurious to our body politic, that will commence its term of office on January 20th, 2025.

Those initiatives that seek the curtailment of civil liberties, we shall thwart. Efforts that accelerate inflation and a stimulate a recessionary dynamic we shall oppose. Energies devoted to the unconstitutional deployment of military personnel to deport immigrants or punish “the enemies within”, we shall resist. Measures that enable federal allocations to enrich billionaires who in the name of efficiency strive to deprive the elderly, infirm, and our nation’s children of the vitally critical fiscal resources to remain viable, will be rebuffed.

So too shall we with all the resources at our disposal frustrate proposals for peace that do not require the removal of invading military forces in Ukraine, and the companionate necessity of a resolution to the conflagrations in the middle east that do not demand the establishment of a two state solution, to the inter unremitting conflict between the Israel and the Palestinian people.

Each and every overture your administration introduces for consideration that augments enmity between segments of our citizenry, and triggers the deterioration or decomposition of various minority communities we shall subvert, as well as those that further degrade our efforts to impede climate change and energize the effectiveness of the forces of global warming, these too we will render harmless.

In the astounding eventuality that your presidency sponsors measures or policies that strengthen our democratic polity or would impact in some salutary regard the lives of our citizens, we will join you in attempting to translate those proposals into legislative reality.

Mr. Trump we have begun our preparations for your most regrettable return to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and we shall complete them before you intone the oath of office on the afternoon of the 20th of January, 2025.

From that moment forward until your merciful departure on the 20th of January, 2029, in modes that are both entirely lawful and universally non-violent, we shall not for one instant cease our opposition to your mendacious and cruel agenda.

Our efforts to preserve our constitutional order and our manifold exertions to respond to the populist yearnings of so many of our fellow Americans for a monetary circumstance that will afford them at the very least a modicum of material self-sufficiency, and a modest quotient of ease and comfort, will never reflect a moment’s respite.

When a caravan of your possessions departs from the White House on that day in the month of January, 2029, our nation shall breathe a sigh of tremulous existential relief that we have survived your administration , and that we have remained as the result of our unceasing exertions despite your unrelenting Herculean overtures to irrevocably impair its structural integrity, the world’s premiere example of representative government, in a mode that is viable, functioning, and poised to embark on a pathway to achieve the interminably deferred dream of a more perfect union.

In addition,
