I can only say that, whatever the results, I’m deeply disappointed nearly half the country. They chose to vote for a President, and his enablers, who is, quite frankly, a chronic liar, cheat, and terrible human being. They did so in preference to a candidate who is widely acknowledged to be a deeply decent man, well-informed on matters relevant to the Executive, with an able backup in Harris.
I don’t say this as a partisan. Not only am I an independent, I have never felt this way before. Romney, McCain, Bush, Dole, Bush, Reagan … those were policy elections. I would certainly disagree over policy, but that’s expected, because governing is hard. If they won, they won, and I wished them well.
When it’s an election over morality, the decision should be easy. Every Trump voter, every voter who voted for a Republican who has supported Trump, failed the simple test of morality.
And it’s a damn shame. But, if Joe Biden is indeed elected, then he and Kamala Harris can spend two years demonstrating responsible governance. They and the House can formulate policies to benefit the American public, especially those who didn’t vote for them, and then dare the Senate to reject the.
And then comes – sigh – 2022.
