Farewell DU

[RecoveringJournalist]

36. mixed feelings

I understand this sentiment completely. However, my feelings are mixed and I'll tell you why.

We've been awash in a sea of misinformation for years now. Who said what? Who didn't say what? Who's planning what? And so forth. It's VERY easy to get confused about what reality is.

With that being the case, part of me wants to see what Cheeto Benito will say. Will he try to be cordial? Or will he, in his inaugural address, paint a dark and partisan picture about our country and its people right from the start?

In the coming days, months and years, knowing what's actually true could become harder and harder to discern.

I feel it's of utmost importance to know the facts. Knowledge is power. The more you know, the more you can prepare.

It's why I'm NOT disassociating myself with Trumpers I know. I'm maintaining a cordial, yet observant, distance.

I suggest everyone think about this and do what is necessary to stay informed. If things go as they COULD, not knowing the truth beforehand could be a precursor to bad things happening.

Stay safe, everyone.
