Donald Trump has put this country on edge, dragged it through the mud for nine years, and will continue to do so until he buys the farm, most likely.
Not enough people stood in his way, called him on his illegitimacy, but instead endured and even encouraged his childish, moronic behavior. People with a sense of propriety and decency have long seen through him, but that has mattered little. He has obviously touched some nerve, some smoldering sense of grievance and offense- whether real or not.
He has thrived and depended on ignorance and naivete, and a hokey, shallow, misguided patriotism. He’s the face of everything that can go wrong when one has money and power. He’s a purveyor of darkness and dread and hate. He’s a convicted felon and a liar. He’s a broken little boy in a Plus size body, yet he stands on the verge of winning another term as POTUS. Our only prayer is that enough people decide they’ve had enough of the freak show and his ugly mug, and they vote for Kamala.
The White House is a fortress, voting places and election workers are targets, the armed lunatic fringe appears to be up to something, and the election—by and large fair and free—will be considered stolen if Trump loses. Then we’ll suffer through another round of delay tactics with a side of January 6 on steroids. We’ll be looking for someone to blame for this sad situation, even though the main culprit has been omnipresent and spewing stupidity in plain sight the whole time.
And then, just to keep things interesting, whoever wins will have to deal with traitors in high places and the rumblings of WWIII.
