The United States presidential election is going take place in a couple of days. While all elections are important, this one feels particularly freighted.  Donald Trump and the twisted remains of the Republican Party seem committed to a program of revenge, violence (“one rough day”), and serious diminishment of citizens’ rights. His primary supporter is a billionaire who was raised as an entitled child in apartheid-era South Africa and has shown a decided lack of empathy for others. Vice-president Harris, while somewhat of an unknown quantity, has shown herself to be a fairly normal and reasonably competent individual. She seems committed to the democratic process while her opponent appears wholly focused on undermining that same process. I fear that a number of guardrails that we have counted on have been weakened or are no longer in place and a second Trump presidency could lead us farther into oligarchy. That is not what the majority of Americans want. Let’s hope that enough liberty and justice oriented citizens turn out and let their voices be heard. So many voices that even the compromised Supreme Court cannot ignore them.

Fascism,     Enemy within,     Bull shit,     The healthiest president,

Hitler said that,     Can you believe we’re saying this?     I won; I lost,

Our little secret,     Russians,     Unbelievable,     Piece of amphibian,

Crazy,     This guy,     President Xi,     Watching suckers on television,

Environmentalists,     The wind is bullshit,     Jasper County rant,

Our government needs stop,     The final destruction of America,

The worst president in history,     It’s true,     Should be in jail,

One rough hour,     Hang Mike Pence,     Nothing done wrong,

The others had guns,     Beat her badly,     Our little secret,  

Shut Up
