It suddenly dawned on me that this pandemic could not have come at a better time! My whole life has been spent socializing in one way or another, but now I am forced to stay home alone and I gotta' tell you, I am loving this shit and I am going to tell you why. It is an election year and our country is in the shitter and we are going to vote.
It used to be the election was just a contest and the man who promised us the most usually walked away with the prize, but this year is different. I have set here for the last 3 years and 9 months and watched a "business man" run this country like he runs his businesses. Sadly, most of his businesses are teetering on bankruptcy, he is facing rape charges, nepotism is rampant in the white house, and if that were not enough, his wife had the Rose Garden ripped out and replaced with sod so said president could hold a rally on the front lawn of the white house. Every country in the world has turned its back on us with the exception of Russia. Putin is loving us. We are a laughing stock in the eyes of the world and this does not seem to bother the upper echelon!
The confederate flag seems to be a symbol of pride. Nancy Pelosi is a joke. Ruth Bader Ginsberg tried to out live him and failed. Old people are the butt of jokes and women are being sterilized on the southern border. The government operates as an independent arm of something that we keep pouring money into with no hope of ever getting anything back. The saddest part of all is that "my friends" can not see what is happening. The Russian Government handed Donald Trump the last election and if you think it can not happen again, you are sadly mistaken.
My friend, Nancy, who has since gone to her reward had a picture of Union Avenue taken at a rally 13 years ago for Barack Obama. There were people every where. It was a picture of unity and happy faces. There was hope in peoples eyes. It was followed by 8 years of hope, unity, fellowship and a feeling of living in the greatest country on earth. Check out our last 4 years. If you can look at that period and tell me you are better off now, then I am the fool!
I do not visit my Republican friends any more. I have dealings with them, but not on a social basis. If circumstances arise where I have to deal with them, it is just in and out and do not throw that orange haired bully in my face and try to convince me that he gives a big rats ass about any of us. Sad that it has to be that way, but it is. I find any number of reasons to avoid human contact with all but a chosen few.
Today is Sunday. Our church is closed. I have not attended church since last March. Supposedly we will meet the first Sunday in October. We will see. In the interim, I will just set here and wonder what day it is since I have no benchmark. And I will watch the news and I will curse trump and all his cult following for what has become the most violent time in my memory. I lived through school integration, demonstrations during Vietnam conflict, but this time there is no hiding from it. Our government is out of control and headed for a collapse like none we have ever seen. And you want to know the saddest part?
When this is all over and the smoke has cleared away, this will be the darkest time in American history. This "regime" will go down as the one that bankrupted America, caused the most derision, and it was all orchestrated by a morally bankrupt business man supported by religious organizations marching in the name of God and financed by the NRA under the banner of the confederate flag.
And with that, I bid you adieu and like I used to say when I was interviewing a job applicant, "Don't call me, I'll call you!"
