May 3

"Trump has ended up here for no other reason than that he pursued the very policies he promised to pursue on the campaign trail. That’s the story of his first 100 days: Americans elected a dumb asshole, and natural consequences followed".

I am literally sitting here shaking my head back and forth with my mouth hanging open. I am saying to myself, "Take a breath. Take a breath. OK..? NO! NOT OK!!!".

A few weeks ago my immediate family (in a general conversation at Easter Dinner no less) sincerely said they would be willing to lose 30% of their savings and retirement if that was what it would take to permanently destroy this GOP's sadistic and fascist agenda. I thought this myself many times...but I'm ill and near poverty in CA and have no kids so I don't have much anyway. But this current situation is sort of like "Phoenix rising from the ashes" or "The Tower" tarot card.

We are going to have to forfeit a lot since our democracy has been destroyed. It will take decades to recover, if we ever do. The majority of voting Americans chose this.

None the less...I AM VERY ANGRY!!!
The US voted for this...AGAIN!!!
