Yes, once again, we Democrats and right-minded independents drank the pollsters’ Kool-Aid. It was going to be fine. Everything would be fine. Biden was going to win in a record-shattering landslide. And we were going to flip the Senate, defeat Mitch McConnell, increase our majority in the House, and make in-roads in the state legislatures. We were going to rid our country of the ugly orange stain and return to common sense, common decency, and the rule of law. Well, it isn’t happening. Not in my lifetime. We might win the Presidency – but the country is too shattered. The center did not hold.
Americans are not good and decent people. My America has died. I mourn the loss of my country more than I mourned the loss of my husband. Every person knows they might lose a spouse. No one expects to lose an entire country.
Gratitude
Grateful to have had 76 pretty damn sweet years. The dark years have begun.
So, now what? Four years ago, I could have actually left the country. I fear that I am now too old. I can still afford to leave. Some country will want my money enough to grant me residency or even citizenship. But, I am old. So, I might as well see this catastrophe to the end.
