I'm only posting this to get it off of my chest, so please don't read it as a doom post, it's not. I'm just having a tough time right now.
Since the debate, everywhere I look, I see doom and gloom, and predictions of Jo Biden dropping out or being replaced. It is especially the carefully selected photos of him that depict him as frail and confused that get to me the most.
And while I do my best to dismiss all of this knowing full well that it's all garbage coming from opposition, it is beginning to weight on me. I'm also quite aggravated at myself for allowing it to get into my head like it has. I'm seeing suggestions that Joe Biden be replaced. I saw one claiming Jill Biden's ex-husband is making rounds and attacking her, I see stuff like Biden Depressed, and Biden meeting with family to discuss future. I see that garbage and for a moment I internally say to myself oh my God, is this true? I'm not going to post links because rules, and because I already realize most of it complete BS, and the content isn't even my point. I's just how it's bumming me out and eroding my hope. And even then, I don't know if it's my own own declining hope that is making me feel down, or it it's just a matter of watching the world attack a good man and beat him down like this. Joe Biden doesn't deserve this nonsense, it's cruel, and we know that he may not be personally reading this garbage, he is most certainly being updated and informed of it. Like I said, it's cruel.
I don't know how you are all dealing with it internally, but I feel like I'm taking an emotional beating over this whole thing. I've been 100% invested in Joe Biden and will remain so, my vote is not going to change. But the propaganda is starting to wear me down, little by little, and it's a real downer sometimes. I'll spring back like I always do, I am just having these moments from time to time, and right now is one of those moments.
Thanks for letting me post here. I'm not much of an OP type, and I am normally only posting when I disagree with something, but I had to get this out of my system. I think I may have to lose the news for the next few days and try to just hang out here and try to shake this off, but there is also a lot of doom posts here as well, so it's difficult to escape.
