Thank you Deece. While I don’t like the outcome of the election, and I’m dismayed by the scale of people voting against themselves, I am managing my “keeping calm” commitment. I was depressed when he was elected last time. I refuse to give up more peace of mind this time. I accept what is and will rebel as I can.
My latest thinking is that the ordinary people who voted for Trump — not the racists or fascists or haters — were not voting against Joe Biden and his policies, which actually improved lives. They were voting against an American economic system that had f*cked them over for a generation or more, and Donald Trump was just the man to take advantage of their anger and pessimism.
The Trump Tide will eventually recede and dissolve into the Deep Blue Sea. We are a strong people and we will endure, work hard, and fight for a better world. The United States of America will heal, and kindness, love, and justice will prevail. My grandchildren will be fighting right alongside the millions who will work for a better world. E Pluribus Unum.
My dream is that trump will choke on a Quarter Pounder and be rendered voiceless, reduced to using hand puppets to flap his Weave. James Donald Vance will march in to convert trumpian histrionics into well constructed fatuosities. All of this will be gobbled down by the ignorati, stuffed on MAGA's nutraloaf, thinking it's a T-Bone. I guess I'm just less sanguine about all this, terribly disappointed in +/- 80,000,000 folks (including the pathetic non-voters) and the loop of Martha Reeves and the Vandellas is singing in my brain:
I think he talks like the working man so they think he's like them. It's an act, he's nothing like a working man but they don't care. Only time will tell if his voters will turn against him in 4 yrs. I don't think he'll live that long - then we'll have Vance & we'll really be up a creek.

economics pale before the racism and misogyny plus the threats of mass deportations.
