My worst fears for this election.
Dan and I are in shock and we fear for the future of this country.
I am taking a hiatus from blogging until the New Year and then will assess whether to continue to be a blogger.
postscript - a quote from John Lewis I read in the Americans for Conscience newsletter
Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year—it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. – John Lewis

Hugs, hope your shock wears off soon. It was a shock, but for some, a good one. We were told all along how close it was, and it wasn't! I hope it won't be as bad as you think it will be, we live in a great country, and God is good. Each day is a gift, too, no matter who is at the helm, God is in charge:)
One can only conclude that Americans went into this with eyes wide open. They have seen the daily decline in cognitive function of a rambling old man who can barely hold a thought together, they have read the warnings of incipient fascism, they know that he overturned Roe v Wade and now threatens to take care of women “whether they like it or not”, he lies constantly and invents scenarios that don’t exist, he cherishes dictators, is a convicted felon, sexual predator, twice impeached, will abandon NATO, give Putin a free hand in Ukraine, mount an assault on freedom of the press, trash the environment …..and on and on. And should he become incapacitated J.D. Vance is ready to fill the breach and he is perhaps worse. Yet knowing all of this Americans rewarded him with a second term as president. The experiment with democracy is over. Autocracy is ascendant and imminent. The United States you knew is gone forever. And if you think that Trump (or Vance) will leave the White House in four years you are delusional!
You are not alone. I cannot comprehend how others thought He was the better choice.
You stay informed, research the issues, make a knowable decision and your neighbor was wears one of those "felon" t shirts and says he wants to be able to eat steak again.
my entire family was shocked, saddened, angry, and just plain dumbfounded. Apparelty the mid west and southern states don't do their homework...they are voting party vs a person with integrity and character and sadly we are now thre laughingstock, once again of the European countries. and we as a nation WILL reap the consequences of this "leader" and it won't be good ones.
You will be very much missed if you quit blogging. You are one oasis of peace in this madness. Hugs, dear Marcia.
