I know, Trump has amazing abilities to shoot himself in the foot. But he always seems to come out of it.
And now the riots are a gift to him.
I am TRYING to maintain hope. But seeing SO MANY people acting SO STUPID and destructive. Yes, there are undoubtedly some QAnon and other Trump extremists agitating. But that does not account for all of it.
Please talk me down. PLEASE tell me why this nation isn't completely screwed.
COVID-19. Learning I have cancer. And watching Trump slither his way back to four more years of devastation. 2020 is horrible. I'm not sure if I want to proceed with a radical cystectomy and a lifetime of sickness just to witness this.

Fuck it, I ain't giving up hope yet.

(495 posts)This year is such a gut punch.
Strangely (or perhaps not), I am not all that freaked out about my own personal situation, beyond what effect my passing would have on others. I have been blessed with a full, varied, rich life, with some amazing adventures and accomplishments, along with the sense that I survived some dark depths of heartache, loss, and poverty. I would rather live longer, but I do not feel cheated in life (unlike FAR too many people).
What worries me, what scares me, is the world beyond me. The world after me. I see the children all around, and I cannot help but worry what kind of poisoned, authoritarian world are we leaving them?

(28,817 posts)I would be damn pissed if any Democrat primaries him.
Very pissed.
My comment on the VP trying for a term in 2024 assumes that Biden calls it good after one term. I wouldnt expect his VP to try to primary him.

(28,817 posts)When we havent even won an election, someone is planning for Joe to what... quit?
I cant believe its even a question.
MissB
(15,807 posts)that the OP expects him to lose in November. I believe that Joe Biden will be our next president.

(28,817 posts)Talk him down.
Okay, sorry about your health problems.
Please focus on them and not your idea about losing the election. That part is bullshit.
Edit: I checked the profile.
