In 2016 the election result really hurt me in several ways. My number two son was not yet of voting age, but he liked Trump. Trump appointed Betsy DeVos as the head of education, the lady who practically destroyed education in Michigan with her “school choice” charter school/private school/ defund the public schools plan. The plan that Texas promptly imported. And then the 2017 Trump Tax Cut. He passed that @#$%!!! plan in December and made it retroactive for the whole year. The 1% made millions in tax breaks. I owed an extra two hundred a month in higher taxes because “pensioners ought to be paying their fair share, especially teachers!” And that was charged times twelve for the entire year without having had the option to have it withheld month by month. I don’t normally hate anyone, so I hope Don Cheetoh Trumpaloney appreciates his special status from me.
34 felony convictions, four indictments, two impeachments, one insurrection…. I liked Gary Hart. He was taken out of the race for President by a single photo. I liked Howard Dean. He was taken out by a single yelp. Oy vay!
If the Trumpalump wins again… well, I don’t imagine I will survive it. But all my conservative friends who hate the people who he hates and approve of punishing trans kids and poor kids and minority kids in schools and hate me for being a liberal… I forgive them. I do believe in Christian values. And it is unfortunate that the Pharasee’s notion of stoning sinners is not actually Christianity because that is how they read the Bible. Still, I don’t condemn them for their mistakes. I will not throw the first stone. I am not without sin myself.
I hope for a better outcome tonight. But I am by nature a pessimist. I am preparing for the end of the world.
