All of this serves the robber barons and criminals of this country and the world. The Communists had Marx, the Nazis had Hitler, the morbidly rich have Steve Bannon and his calls for chaos and anarchy. They have succeeded. While I am deeply saddened that anyone supports TFG, the truth is that I also cannot trust them. Our only hope is to beat them and make them as irrelevant as possible, voting blue across the board in November.
Increasingly, I do not think that will happen. Which accounts for my two greatest regrets. First, that our grandson, the center of our lives, whom I love fiercely, was ever born. Because he will have a hideous life, regardless of what we can give him in any material or psychological support before we pass. Second,that I ever lived to see the rise of TFG, and what that showed me about too many people in this country.
I am 76, disabled, living in pain and hanging on for my wife and grandson. Would that it were not necessary. Because I believe the forces of evil will prevail in November. Too much cohesion in the plutocracy’s useful idiots. Too much division and apathy in those of us who oppose them. I so want to be proven wrong, but I have the same sick feeling I did when I predicted, almost a year before it happened, that TFG would be elected. My family and friends laughed at me for being naive and absurd. They aren’t laughing anymore.
Also an "elder" and wise in my way about human nature, I sense that Biden will win (by many millions), but that Trump in his loss will inspire chaotic violence. I learned in my study of mental illness, from the wise director of a small (and enlightened) mental health center, how easy it is to do damage, and how fragile the protection of new growth can be [think of the metaphor of seeds sprouting and new shoots emerging].
