If Trump lost, why am I sad?

The election results are sadder than I thought they’d be but not for the reason I thought they’d be. And it’s not totally President Trump’s fault. Not entirely anyway.

Trump’s true supporters are nothing but loyal. Yesterday I posted on my Facebook page an article reporting that a sex offender attended Rudy Giuliani’s, the President’s personal attorney, press conference at Four Seasons Total Landscaping in Philadelphia.

I posted no comment, just the article. At least two folks posted comments claiming it was fake news, pointing out that was Hunter Biden next to the President-elect at his acceptance speech, the “ever chaste” Vice President-elect Kamala Harris at the microphone and “Joe the guy who can’t think or speak straight.”

Where to begin? Not that I thought the election would end the vileness that our political process has become. But I had hoped things might begin to get more civil. Just a little bit.

But this apparently this is the state of our nation for the foreseeable future.

It can be calmed a bit, I hope, in time. President-elect Biden is trying to do his part, so far. And, so far the right-wing media isn’t buying it. The leading conservative site Town Hall ran headline today, “Biden is Hitler and needs to be impeached.” I guess maybe that’s a supportive headline for Biden because to be impeached in this context, you must be President.

But I digress, maybe.
