The Day After.

I hear Kamala’s concession speech was remarkable. I couldn’t watch it. I probably will someday.

I have distanced myself from MAGA family and friends and will continue to do so. I will not be part of their warped view. They will realize they have made a mistake in about six months. I give it six months, tops. In the meanwhile, I avoid them, if I work with them I just remain professional, and if I’m in public I give them a glare that was described by a USAir ticket agent as “a menacing gaze”. I will not be intimidated.

I honestly don’t know what the future brings other than it will be bleak. The 21st century has been awful since SCOTUS called the 2000 election for “W” and it’s all gone down hill from there.

Use your smarts, avoid the riff raff, and don’t give up hope. The pendulum always swings the other way.

We Have Work To Do.

The American people have spoken. Instead of going to Costco for gas, they’ve elected a fascist with absolutely no respect for The Constitution as the next president of the United States.

You have two months to get your stuff together.

My blog entries for the next few days are going to politically oriented as I work through this in my head. I really thought the American people were better than this, but hey, at least they can keep being racists out loud.

My first recommendation: To my LGBT+ brothers and sisters, make sure your union is legally documented OUTSIDE of a standard marriage certificate. Get all the legal power you can with power of attorney, right of survivorship, inheritances, wills, everything.

The American people are going to screw us hard to save 30 cents on a gallon of gas. We need to have our legal ducks in a row.
