Just a Few Words

 

 "As President, he amplified some of the ugliest currents in our political culture: nativism, racism, misogyny, indifference to the disadvantaged, amoral isolationism. His narcissism and casual cruelty, his contempt for the truth, have contaminated public life."

-The New Yorker, 7 October 2024 edition

Must Read, Must Read, Must Read

 If you fall into any (or all) of the following categories, I have stumbled upon something you must read. 

Are you: A) a blue voter, B) a purple voter, C) a NeverTrumper, D) a sick to your heart over politics; E) a Please I Just Don't Want to Hear It!

You may be any and/or all of those depending on what you have hear, read or felt in the last twenty-seven and a half minutes.

But you are here, on this little blog, so something tells me you are just the person to hear what I have to say this day. If you have been "shared" here by a friend, thank them because you will be both calmer and a bit more sane after reading what I am about to suggest. Trust me or trust the person who referred you here.

The January/February issue of The Atlantic has two dozen articles focused on one topic: IF TRUMP WINS.

Hold on, sit back down, take the shroud off your head. Have some tea or scotch or Liquid IV. This actually will help.

I have read all 24 pieces over the last several days and although I learned nearly nothing new about politics or politicians, I did gain some much-welcomed insight into what politics has been doing to me and most of my friends.

If facing two dozen articles seems like a bridge too far read first "The Psychic Toll," which will speak to your sanity and then "The Left Can't Afford to Go Mad' which illuminates the path we must not take.

Unfortunately, this double issue of The Atlantic is off the newsstands but one of your friends has it (make them read it first) and your local library has a copy and a cozy couch to read on.

Trust me this will help, if not . . . send all vindictives to my new sweet home in Alabama.
