but compared to his former FIRE AND ANGER over Trump's first presidency, I felt saddened to see how shrunken his persona seems to be. Like ALL of us, we've had a staggering blow to our country and to our combined spirit.



That's the way he seemed to me. Like someone in mourning.

Afterwards it reminded me of the 2016 election when I kept going back and completely filling out the POTUS/VP circle so it was almost a hanging chad, I thought it was that important, made sure there was no mistake.
