Amazing Louise, your words were a much-needed reminder that history is full of resilience, even in the face of setbacks. The way you contextualized last week’s events within the broader sweep of history—highlighting abolitionists, suffragists, and even the enduring strength of the U.S. Constitution—was both grounding and uplifting.

The conversation with the hypothetical suffragist was brilliant. It’s easy to lose sight of the monumental progress humanity has made when we’re caught in the immediacy of disappointment. That perspective shift, from finite disappointment to infinite hope, was exactly what I needed to hear.

Your exploration of how constitutions and societies endure or adapt over time was fascinating. The anecdote about Spain’s constitutional ping-pong was particularly striking. It’s a reminder that resilience isn’t just about standing firm but also about evolving.

I also appreciated your acknowledgment of the grief and frustration we feel in moments like these. As much as I strive to focus on hope, it’s validating to know that part of the journey is allowing space for those emotions before moving forward.

Thank you for your optimism and for reminding us that the path to progress has always been uneven but unwavering. I’ll be keeping “infinite hope” as my mantra in the days ahead.

Well... I was surely hoping to see and feel what the world would be like with a lady as the leader of the free World.

But one thing is for sure here in my little 3rd world country, we had much better relations with President Trump than with the obscure Diplomatic agenda that democrats always try to impose around here.

America first, here we go again

Thank you for your refreshing and enlightening words Dr. Schreiber
