2. If the past four years have taught me anything...

...it's that we really have to follow the examples of all those who kept doing the right things when people and events kept dealing blows to progress. Pick an area — civil rights, education, public health — and think where we'd be if those on the side of progress hadn't gotten up after every reversal and if reinforcements hadn't kept arriving.
