Post-Election Woes!!!

Unable to rap my head around Americans choosing a buffoon over a qualified candidate to run our country as President, I searched out explanations online. After reading some disheartening suggestions, I gave up looking. However, during my search I did find an article that pretty much summed up my thoughts, feelings, and some of my conclusions about why him and not her, and why now and not 2020.

San Francisco Gate columnist Drew Magary has written a Morning-After piece which I believe all Americans looking for answers to this Presidential election should read. It's titled "Democracy died in plain sight."

Instead of blaming any one thing, he highlights just about everything that sticks out about Americans "putting this deranged asshole in charge again." It is one hell of an indictment of Americans as a people who pride themselves on living in a democracy yet chose one of the most undemocratic of former presidents to lead the country again. 

Oh well, an American majority asked for it and I suppose it'll get what it voted for. "Thank you sir may I have another!"

Democracy died in plain sight

Donald Trump was elected president again last night. After being voted out of office in 2020. After trying to rig the vote and then to overthrow the government by force in the wake of that loss. After all but welcoming a pandemic that ended up killing more than a million of us. After ripping away abortion care rights from millions of American women. After being impeached, twice. After being convicted of multiple felonies. After dogging it on the campaign trail, playing to emptying halls while speaking in demented tongues unknown even to him. After all of that, and God knows what else, we have to do this s—t all over again.
