I know it’s been a month since I was last here. I have been busy with many things – and, if I’m honest, I’ve been lazy with many things! Yeah, I admit it.
It’s the morning after the election and I am very deflated! The only thing I can think right now is the majority of people chose hate over unity!! I honestly don’t understand it. The man ran on hate, division, and anti-democracy rhetoric. Yet, they chose him anyway!
What’s even more surprising is he won not only the electoral college vote but also the popular vote! How insane is that?
People apparently have very short memories. Things weren’t that good under Trump the first time. It will be worse this time. There will be no “normal” people surrounding him to rein in his worse impulses. Heck, he’s already told us what he’ll do and it’s scary as s**t!!!
Robert Kennedy Jr will oversee all health related agencies? He’ll oversee women’s health?? He’s already said he will pull all fluoride from public water! And, as an anti-vaxer, what vaccines will be banned? What diseases will pop back up and make the rounds thanks to this idiot?
The Dept of Education will be gutted – for all intent purposes it will no longer exist. More books will be banned in addition to the already 2,000 banned! The true American history will not be taught. In fact, history will be rewritten to make life in early America rosy and white!
At the end of four years, what will happen? Will we have another election? In my mind there is real doubt! SCOTUS gave this guy a lot of power and he will in all likelihood use it to take ALL the power. Congress (now controlled entirely by GOP) will acquiesce to all of Trump’s demands.
Democracy is surely on its last gasp! Who will step up to save it because the American people sure didn’t!!
I don’t know if I’ll continue this blog. If I do, I don’t know when I’ll write again. I am so damned depressed over the lack of real thought yesterday that I can barely move!
All I do know is the people who voted for him will deserve whatever happens to them. The people who stayed home will deserve whatever happens to them. Those of us who did not vote for him, however, do not deserve it! But, we will pay along with the rest of them!
I know that’s a horrible thing to believe but I’m in a very black place right now. I’ll ask forgiveness later – maybe!
I can’t believe it!!
In My Humble Opinion
