No matter what happens - how do we as a country go forward with such a deep rift? [View all]

I am expecting - hoping as never before - that Kamala Harris will be our next president.

BUT - my wife and I have been talking a lot together of where this country now finds itself. My feeling is that it started with Reagan (hell, it may have started with FDR appropriately saying in a major speech "I welcome their hate" speech) - inflames by Watergate - but really fired up with Dubya's presidency of lies and ignorance. Obama's victory (I can only imagine the hatred that began fomenting - how dare a black man be president) and the ugliness is now in full bloom with all of the antics of tfg.

The scary part - the "grab em by the pussy" so-called president has been showing us all what he is from the very beginning. And millions of Americans are okey dokey with that. "He talks like me." and probably "he thinks like me".

Think of the so-called religious people that are just fine with worshiping a tarnished (golden?) idol. Seems to me that is discussed in their bible and they are on the wrong side of things.

I honestly think that Kamala's candidacy are ripping off all of the masks from so many in our country. "She is a woman - women can't be president".
and "a black woman can't be president". Not to mention her ethnic background.

So - the choices are being made. Millions of Americans are going with the felon racist misogynist pervert criminal - because they must identify with him.

I hear a lot of talk of "just try to be understanding. They grew up different" and so on and so on. But - for my wife and I -- nope. We have seen the ugliness of some of our family and many of our friends. We have seen which set of values they align themselves with. No more.

So we will go forward with a new president, and continuation of the post-tfg healing and progess started by a true hero, Joe Biden. But what do we all do with the malevolent lack of values that have been exposed?

I have no idea. But sheesh, I cannot wait for this election to be over.

OK - my morning rant - now I must go vacuum the house!

Have a great Sunday all.
