Election Again

with 4 comments

Every four years, whether people like it or not, our country holds an election for a President. Today, if you are a US citizen and haven’t already, VOTE!

Thinking about the last time the bum, whose name I don’t even like to mention, stumbled into an election win, I looked up my previous posts from November 2016 to see my reactions. I was too upset for words and simply posted an image two days in a row.

Reading old posts from 8 years ago, I was also reminded that that was when we transplanted the tree to the center of the labyrinth and finished building the chicken coop. At least I had good distractions back then.

Today, I am ready for a landslide victory for sanity and our democracy. Let the lying cease. Put an end to the political ambitions of the worst version of a candidate I’ve ever seen garner public support in my lifetime.

Cyndie and I plan to wait for the crowd of people voting before they go to work to thin out before we head to our polling place to join the crowd of retired folks showing up to beat the crowd that will show up over the lunch hour.

If the mean guy loses, he has prepared his followers for the old lie that the election was stolen from him. I’m busy trying to wrap my head around the inexplicability of him not being incarcerated for even one of his many crimes.

May today be the beginning of my phone no longer pinging relentlessly with desperate campaign pleas.

May the United States of America accomplish the milestone of electing the first woman President in our history.

May all the exaggerated fears of the cultish followers and spineless Republican politicians who have kowtowed to the mean guy for the last 8 years be swiftly proven unrealistic and overblown.

Most of all, may the outcome of the vote tally be so obvious that little delay is needed for the results to be made official.

Let’s do this thing.

  1. My wife and I (a female/female couple) voted for Harris. We prefer our candidates to be civil law-abiding citizens.

    • Amen! I think we are kindred spirits. We will be celebrating with you both, virtually, the best outcome we envision will be manifest.

  2. and hopefully, when she wins, they are peaceful. It’s sad that I feel we have to worry about violence either way.

    • I strive to translate my similar concerns into visions of an overwhelming and positive wave of energy emanating from the good people who want what’s best that will sap the energy from those who hold anger as their primary reason to exist.
