For the next six months, we're trapped on a leaking ship captained by a fool
This is the awful reality of our situation: For the next six months — at least — we are trapped on a badly leaking ship captained by an utter fool.
If he cared a whit about the well-being of the nation he is supposed to lead, President Trump would resign immediately. He would slink back to his gaudy apartment in Trump Tower, where he could look down at the new Black Lives Matter street painting on Fifth Avenue. Or he would flee to his Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago, where his rounds of golf might be disturbed by the sirens of ambulances rushing covid-19 victims to overburdened emergency rooms.
But it is absurd to imagine that Trump cares about anyone or anything but himself. He will not go voluntarily. So on Election Day, he must be made to suffer a humiliating defeat, and on Inauguration Day, he must be firmly escorted — bodily, if necessary — out of the White House.
This election is not about politics, ideology or even red vs. blue tribal identity. At this point, it’s about our collective survival.

since that is the day I will feel safe again (if Dems win). I told my sister in Nov 2016, "I don't feel safe anymore". I never said those words before in my life regarding a POTUS and my country.
I have felt like this for almost 4 years...
Oh Donald, you're the best.
