I truly believe that the virus called trump is more deadly than the virus called Covid.
The trump virus defies all protocols, masks do not block it, hand washing does not help and then out of the other side of his mouth, wear masks and so on, but his rallies are packed with people shoulder to shoulder, unmasked and in danger. Panic attacks are rampant, depression, disbelief of our countries’ demise reigns supreme, suicides, mental health problems are surging, children are in shock, and suffer mentally. The whole world wonders at our dire state of keeping a sick, delusionary “president” in office. and woe is us if he is re elected.
Children are still separated from parents, what sense does that make? Immigrants are still in camps, border fences are in place. I recently viewed a video featuring donald’s relationship with son Baron (now a tall 6’6”) who wants to be like his dad and play golf. The dad calls him his mother’s son, is that denial of fatherhood and what about love for Baron?? There are shots of loving attention and then shots of inattention seeming to be a denial of relationship.
I did not foresee living the rest of my life ( now very much a senior) in angst about the future of our country, environmentally, governance wise, Supreme court wise, Health care wise, economically wise, education wise, immigration wise and peace wise. Our form of Utopian living was not forever. Trump happened and then Covid happened changing everything.
Against the voices in my head saying stay away, I turn on the news or read the news and suffer all over again. Our country is in a fast fall, divided, angry and on the edge of civil unrest. I read the term “soft war” as a lead up to total civil war and insurrection. All I can hope for is a planet of peace, common sense and love for each other for decades to come and the wisdom of generations following mine to learn from the mistakes and missteps of the past, a government that addresses the dire issues head on and does not resort to Bible flaunting when he doesn’t even believe in the Bible, defying science and trying to reign as a tsar, king or dictator. He is not up to any of that and needs to reveal his true tax return, his true colors other than gold, orange and yellow and pay for his criminality and transgressions. Can he ever tell the truth or express his true thoughts without saying I forgot or I never said that, this one is a liar, ugly, fat and more “horrible” (his favorite word) words. The voice in my head is bursting in pain. The title gave you forewarning.
