These are Mule Deer migrating, but the big migration is the Elk deer.

Words that tell the story of our country, not just from 2016, but from all time.  Words like gaslight, fear mongering, fear, fear, Wall, immigration, divide, bully, crude, divisiveness, unity, cooperation, Republic, caring, empathy, open minds, tribalism, nationalism, White Nationalism, fear, racism, anxiety, power, corruption, transnationalism, reality, honesty, truth, facts, Republic, democracy, hate, anger, deceit, Truthful Hyperbole, shyster, foolishness, ineffective, inefficient, effective, efficient, doubt, sorry, humble, love.

The United States is not diminished just by Tweety Trump's foolishness and cruelty, and gaslighting from his position as President, America has had many bad traits for all time.  Tweety has exacerbated our worst tendencies and we must recognize the power is within each of us to fix the sorry, sick state of our Republic, 

If we don't reflect on what is our worst character today, and begin the process to revise our best traits, to recapture and live our best character and values and principles, our Republic will never rise again.

The story of Teddy Roosevelt comes to mind, once a weak boy, grew up to be a strong, robust, energetic man.  He had his weak character traits, feelings he held in check for the sake of doing good, and helping the poor and endeavoring to lend a hand to lower class laborers.

Teddy Roosevelt loved nature and this Great Elk Migration inspires me to feel the potential of our country, a potential for good.  The Elk migration is an allegory of Americans to me.

 

"These Maps for the First Time Show the Migration of Elk and Other Wildlife Across an American Serengeti"
The survival of bighorn sheep and other species depends on their ability to navigate highways and other obstacles.

The success of enabling the migration, not disrupting the Elk, is an example of the kind of cooperation that makes America great in a REAL sense, not in a transactional sense, and makes the soul full of strength.  We are a better nation if we join hands and work together and not fight every issue like it was our last gasp.

This Republic of ours has seen bad times since the beginning and overcome the worst.  I hope we can do it again as Tweety Trump divides us every way he can, bullies every day he sees an opportunity, and undermines all our better Angles every minute he tweets.
