With the pandemonium of the presidential elections finally over, there is still
one more question to be asked.
Where
will all of the youthful political energy
go now that the elections are over?
This is a good question because no
one is really sure just where all of the
political sensationalism will funnel to.
My guess is that many of the young voters and the politically active students
will actually call it a day and cease to
be “political” for another four years as if
the presidential elections are the main
engine of political change and the only
times in our nation when it is important
to actually be politically engaged.
It’s sad, but we have seen this same
thing happen after the 2008 election.
It
seems that the enthusiasm and political
engagement ultimately turns into a sort
of indifference, apathy, and sometimes
even a sort of delusional complacency.
The engine for change does not lie
within the bureaucrats, politicians or
elected officials
