What will tomorrow bring?


This week our country will decide whether we have a civil society with a female president (about time) OR and it is a big OR we elect a bully who picks on people, loves to divide and uses  horrible scare tactics. He's not qualified to run the government and should not even be allowed to run for office. I still don't understand why we are holding off on his trials and sentencing. Harris and Walz have actually policies and ideas going forward while he stumbles and mumbles atrocious statements. If something happens to Liz Cheney he should be held accountable. He should still be held accountable for Jan. 6th. As a teacher I'm worried about what our education system will look like if he wins. 

I think of all the policies and programs that might be dismantled by a Trump second term and I'm scared so I have to focus on the positive and stay hopeful. I've had sleepless nights over the outcome of this election.  When I read comments on political posts I feel sick so I have to turn my phone off. Why do so many Americans view him as the better choice with the lies, conspiracy theories, hatred, and misogynist view point?  

I understand that there is a group of men out there who feel disenfranchised and want to be heard because life is not what they thought it would be. Our America turned out different and this has them angry. I'm most confused about women who are following Trump even with statements like he'll take care of women whether they want him to or not. Would you want your daughter left alone with him? He is a lecherous  human being and I wish we had the Jeffrey Epstein photos available. I think of his cheating and the things he has said about his daughter. 

I am shocked by the amount of lies and criminal behavior average Americans are willing to forgive for him.  I’m nervous for our country in the aftermath of this election no matter who wins. And I'm tired of the ads and my phone blowing up with pleas for help.  I donate regularly and that's probably why but I've already voted and want them to stop acting as though only I can save the democracy. 

Jill Stein isn’t helping my stress either! For years I've wanted a viable third or fourth option but we are not there yet and she is only diverting attention away at a time when we need to be laser focused on a loss for the Republican party and a Win for the Democratic party.  I know we need work; we are not a perfect party and she's not a perfect candidate but right now it is far too important.  I remember listening to his press conferences during the beginning days of the pandemic and I can't go back. Most people should not want to go back to that...

I've already voted for Harris/Walz and I hope this is what the mass majority of Americans will do. Vote for sanity and hopefully a return to a less divided nation.
