I am processing right now what is coming in. I am about to go take a long bike ride and try to clear my head and get some fresh air and then think about things.
I am crying for the US...the situation is so far worse than people are realizing. The pandemic is raging and will get much worse. The economy will not be recovering until the pandemic has become under control. And Trump if he manages to take a second term, which by the way I do not believe is legitimately, the US will not fare well and the lessons will be hard. Loss of civil rights and protections. Lots of suffering. Loss of healthcare and all the protections for pre-existing conditions. Continuing climate change consequences and disasters.
I am not a conspiracy theorist. I don't however believe the bullshit lies coming from pundits and "concern trolls" about "the polls are wrong again" or "silent majority" voting...people who are saying that the Democratic Party needs to re-evaluate itself and made mistakes. Bullshit.
The polls were not wrong. There is always a margin of error - but not what we are seeing and the explanations they want us to believe. There was from the start of the election and voting both voter suppression and active measures and currently being taken by the GOP and Trump administration to make sure not all votes are counted. They have plans to use the courts and disenfranchise voters. And finally, while I cannot prove it directly - at least not right now - I have no doubt that there was manipulation of machines and the count in key states that have had "unexpected results". I know too much about and have been following for decades how many of the voting machines and data is calculated and how easily it can be compromised. Maybe if we have Biden declared the winner in the end and have a working Justice Dept and House and Senate that will do investigations, then it will be shown and proved. But I believe that it is not likely unless he is declared the winner and our not having the Senate and with all the Justices that the GOP has rammed through, it is going to be not just overlooked intentionally, it will be swept away.
I don't know what has happened to the United States. The cult of Trump.....the hatred and racism...the downright ignorance of the population that thinks Covid is nothing more than the flu and a hoax...the ignorance of the population that equate "socialism" as the same as "communism" and that they need to protect "America"....The dumbing down and ignorance of the populace that supports a con man lying reality tv showman.
There are no words....I only have tears and sadness inside and know that I will have to be making serious considerations of what will be next and that I will have to do to take care of myself and my family....
