Envy

I received another email for even more money from Democrats to try to unseat Trump through the electoral college. It received a frosty reply from me. I said:

I gave money to the Hillary campaign, I bought products, I wrote articles and opinions until my arms were going to fall off. If you think this plea for bucks is going to fall on receptive ears I think you are in error. I am MAD, mad at the DNC for subverting Bernie whom I did NOT support but regret I did not as hindsight is 20/20, mad even at the Hillary campaign hierarchy who did not see this Mack Truck coming and mad at me for making such a colossal error since I supported McGovern in 1972. This election of Trump debacle, however, is much worse than that.

I need time because right now I am sad, filled with anxiety and filled with trauma trying to figure out how we go from the academically brilliant President Obama to President know nothing Trump. Someone needs to take the blame for the biggest debacle since the Nazi Party destroyed German Democracy and ushered in a change that ultimately cost more than 70 million lives worldwide!

Trump could do the same with his finger on the nuclear codes. My mother used to say that someday the living would envy the dead. Sadly I hear her words ringing in my ears now!

What to Do

On FB I am "friends" with a famous and oh-so-smart person who probably does not know me from a ham sandwich. Her many posts are from people who do not know what to do in the face of this awful electoral scenario except to medicate and prosaic themselves to the heights. I say NO!

My comment:

There is a reason your brain and mine is seizing it is because our nation is at risk. These are NOT honest men with whom Trump is filling his cabinet. These are men who will do ANYTHING and I do mean ANYTHING -- Putinesque men -- who will promote this real Manchurian candidate to run and ruin our nation. The Republicon Party is FILLED with them. How to fight them is the question we must ask NOT dumbing down our brain so we can feel ever so good. We will NEVER feel good as long as this beast occupies the most powerful office in the world. The damage he can do UNLESS his stripes change which I highly doubt, is MASSIVE! I say do not shrink from your anxiety CONFRONT it and do something about it!
