Much of the talk about this election has centered on womens' rights and separation of church and state. Had the Republican party chosen a candidate besides DJT, I would have given some consideration to that. The man is a trainwreck filled with anger who thrives on the attention that his supporters give to him. Unless you believe the conspiracy theory that George Soros bused in people on Jan 6, it should be clear what his agenda is. Violence is key. So is a lack of respect for the process of electing a president. I watched that whole thing unfold with my late friend Joy and it chilled me to the bone. I also watched a lot of the hearings led by Liz Cheney who is a Republican. My respect for her is huge. Many people who were big shakers and movers during the Trump administration have come out with stern warnings about another presidency for him and our country. If you have watched The Handmaids Tale, you know how I feel. I may just move to Canada if he wins.
We, as a country, have lost the respect of the global community because of all this "crap." The economy? Not booming but maintaining. The stock market? Doing well. Inflation is rampant and that is not the fault of our president. One Trump supporter remarked to me that he wants lower gas prices and interest rates like during the Trump years. Ummm. Okay then. But what about wars? I distinctly remember when Dubya and Cheney started one in Iraq and Afghanistan that killed thousands of our military and gave a whole of the rest of them PTSD and other health problems. War is hell. I have never believed that we as a country should be involved in the wars of other countries. It always ends badly with a lot of money spent and a lot of lives affected here and abroad. That is their business, not ours. If national security is at risk, we should take care of our own.
My life is very complicated on a lot of different levels right now. While you are praying for the country, keep me in mind. I expect a lot of trolling by conservatives who like to have the last word. So be it. I stick to my convictions and beliefs ^j^
