Talk about whatever else is on your mind today.

Today I am unable to escape anxiety over the election. I am totally disgusted with the population of the United States who seems to okay a president who is an insane, egotistical, liar. Right now, a day after the election we are told that the count could go on for days. This is so wrong in a day when “Tweets”can travel the world in seconds. Everything is wrong with the USA today, from my point of view. I’m afraid that I might be accused of being old fashioned or out of date when I expect our leadership to be caring, literate, dignified, honest and respectful of all of those he leads. The POTUS has none of those qualifications. Because I have time on my hands, I’ve followed this election very closely and read everything available about the candidates. I have been dedicated by watching a variety of different news media. Not once did the POTUS put out any real description of his plans for the future. He seems to be totally driven by money,yet he does not put forth any idea how he might get the economy going again. Biden has put forth real ideas about the pandemic, healthcare, opening schools, the economy, our leadership in the world organizations and his goals for addressing climate change. I’m afraid that large segments of the population believe the lies spread during the campaign and by biased news media. It seems that nobody has heard the message that the pandemic must be controlled in order to maximize economic growth. This can be done with simple means, masks, distancing and washing. I really wanted a Biden sweep. As it is, if he does win, he will have huge challenges in congress. I find this all so sad for our country and fear for our democracy. I won’t give up hope until all the votes are in and a winner is declared. Hopefully trouble won’t ensue.
