I don't know about you, but I'm a mess. I can't wait for Wednesday, but I'm afraid of Wednesday. I want to geek out on politics today, but I want to avoid any and all media. I want to get the hangover over before I even open the bottle of wine. I want to go back to 2016, and I want to jump ahead to 2020. Help!
We've been talking about this midterm election for two years. And now it seems that those two years flew by, even while they took forever. Is there anything more to do today other than VOTE? Should I pray? Use mental telepathy? Cross my fingers? Make a deal with the devil? Make a deal with the angels? No, I don't do any of those things. And other than my vote, I have no control over the results of this election.
But I know this: this election is about more than winning the House and/or the Senate. This election is about who we are as Americans. It's about what kind of country we want our children and grandchildren to inherit. It's about morals and ethics and compassion and empathy and hope and truth. And I will never understand how anyone can champion these things and still support this administration, led by a narcissistic, dishonest, self-serving, and stupid man.
Want to know how I really feel?
I'm scared; I'm hopeful. I'm angry; I'm calm. I'm tired; I'm woke. I'm a liberal; I'm a liberal.
I'm a proud liberal.
