Join me as a write this new chapter of my life.

A Word from Jennifer

 

They candidly acknowledge: “Much of the leadership of today’s Republican Party has joined the cult of Trump, and we know that they will care little for what we have to say.” The former state chairs nevertheless call on the better angels of the nature of “many honest, hardworking, principled people who — more than any party label — want what is best for our state and nation.” The group ends by paraphrasing another Republican Harris endorser, former Georgia lieutenant governor Geoff Duncan: “On Nov. 5, be a patriot.”

If nothing else, the 2024 election has sharply delineated the Republican patriots from the cultists, the democracy lovers from the authoritarians and the courageous from the spineless.

Never, in our nation's history, has it ever been plainer who the enemy is. And they are MAGA and every groveling sycophant in government. They are every 20 year white male who wants to tell me how much better his life was under Trump. And it was because he was a snot nosed teenager who lived at home being taken care of by his parents...

I'm frightened at the thought that 1/2 our country could be following this egotistical madman and believing all his lies. I just don't understand it. Then again... look at Hitler. He had his country believing him too and supporting his madness.

I am one hundred percent behind Kamala (intellectually, that is, since I am Canadian and have no voice in your election), but we need to remember that when all is said and done she is a politician and will tack her sail in accordance with the prevailing winds. It is a GRAVE disappointment to me that she has backtracked on fracking, but I assume she felt it was necessary to win Pennsylvania. Political expediency will win every time.

I have faced difficult voting decisions here in the UK during our last few elections - there seem to have been a lot of them in recent years! - so I really sympathise with our neighbours on the other side of the pond who are finding that party loyalty and acting in the best interests of the country are not necessarily compatible at this time.
