It is beyond belief that this horrible, horrible human being has been voted in again. What hope for America and the rest of us? Best wishes to you and your family mate.
Thanks Sadd.
But I think I’m done here. Footy and music don’t seem that important suddenly. I won’t sleep tonight.
I deleted my Twitter account already and as much as I like it here, and other places, I have more important things to focus on. Like making sure my kid and his partner are okay and safe (rather an activist, that one) and moving some money around as I expect some serious volatility will roil the markets.
I still think it’s a six-standard deviation event that he destroys the nation’s democracy but protection from the possibility is now an important and necessary hedge — especially if the GOP takes the House. My family’s safety and financial well-being is too important.
As I said — before when he had another term to think about and at least some experienced people to rein him in, I knew it would suck, but I didn’t worry. Now? All bets are off. No one competent will work with him and anyone who tries will not control him. I’ve no idea how serious his inflammatory rhetoric is, because he’s a constant liar. I still cannot believe after everything — especially January 6 — this man wins the popular vote. It’s almost not even real.
But what this means for both the next four years and the future — the possibility set is far wider than it was, and includes some awful potential futures.
Best to protect against that chance.
