PHEW…at least for now. The knots in my stomach on Tuesday, November 4, were too much of a reminder of the last election of November 2024. Too afraid to watch the news or even look at my Facebook account, I spent the evening watching old 1950s black-and-white sci-fi movies. Watching giant spiders, locusts, and Green Men from Mars attacking the world seemed much more satisfying than witnessing an Orange Turd try to end the world.
I am an avid reader of the news, and shying away from the election results was difficult. Still, with the media, there is a lot of heresy, minus the facts prior to and during the election cycle, and this time around, I did not want the press to soothe my false hopes and then get slammed with a wham bam no thank you ma’am of reality.
Tuesday’s results show Americans aren’t numb to Trump’s abuses. (MSNBC). I feared that too many people may have just given up, or worse, given in, and that their nonactions would provide the Republicans with winner trophies. PHEW, I was incorrect.
Of course, Trump, the psychopathic narcissist, took no responsibility and even said, “Trump was not on the ballot” (People speak in the third person, a practice known as illeism, for various reasons, including to boost self-esteem, manage stress). And so far, it seems most of the Republicans remain too cowardly to speak up, speak against Trump, and inform him that the Republican Party is the Trump Party.
But now, we must remain vigilant, because Trump is completely scared, knowing that the future is ominous for him to stay out of jail. His self-preservation antics and tactics will be full speed ahead. Trump will most likely invade more cities, increase his illegal use of ICE, and he will add scores of Democrat politicians to his enemies list. But what I fear most —and have feared —is that the 2025 election might be the last free election in the United States. The Felon, The Fraudster, The Sexual Predator, and most likely The Pedophile, does not want to go to jail, so he will, as I see it, slowly but surely, incite enough public outrage for him to have the Heritage Foundation Supremes permit him to invoke Martial Law. So PHEW, for now!
