During an appearance with Oprah Winfrey Friday, First Lady Michelle Obama, who was obviously commenting on the end of her husband’s failed presidency and the beginning of the Trump-era (my two favorite words after “TV time”), suggested that Americans now know what it is to live without hope:
We feel the difference now. See, now, we are feeling what not having hope feels like. Hope is necessary. It’s a necessary concept and Barack didn’t just talk about hope because he thought it was just a nice slogan to get votes. He and I and so many believe that — what else do you have if you don’t have hope. What do you give your kids if you can’t give them hope?
