I have tried to limit myself to a 5-minute read of the headlines, knowing that even for that brief period of time, my gut will react, and heartburn will erupt like the lava of an active volcano. Truth be told, I have been a news junkie. No snark here, but I think I need to join a News Anonymous self-help group!
As I was driving home from the gym, flipping through various SIRIUS stations, usually finding my peace and serenity on 60’s Gold or the Smokey Robinson station, my hand became a force of its own and skipped to the next channel, MSNBC. NOOOO!
All I heard before almost careening to the side of the road out of terror and angst, were a bunch of BS Republicans bragging about taking over Congress, and before I could turn off my radio, I heard them; how wonderful it was TO BE ABLE TO BRING AMERICA BACK ON THE RIGHT TRACK.
I did pull off to the side of the road and let out a scream, no, I think it sounded more like a HOWL! This noise was then followed up with a FUCK YOU, and FUCK anyone who voted for these Traitors!
Collecting whatever was left of my sanity, I began my trip home, no music on my radio, just me talking to myself, asking the following questions.
Which road, Republicans, the one that led to over a million deaths from COVID…the road where Nazis are included as good people on both sides…the overturning of Roe…another attempt to deny Americans affordable health care, and while traveling that way, cutting out Social Security. The same road led to higher unemployment, lower taxes for the 1%..., and denying voters their right to vote. The road where Jared Kushner made 2 Billion dollars and Ivanka was granted a plethora of Trademarks. The road that will lead Putin to attack NATO, North Korea to attack South Korea, or China to claim Taiwan?
HELP, US ALL…SOS!
