Hi Miriam,
I have been doing some serious thinking about this historically horrible
choice for president. While most of me wants trump to lose so that we can
keep the Supreme court from becoming a bastion of conservative ideology, I
keep wondering if we stupid Americans won't really see how bad things are
until we hit rock bottom. IT's sort of like an alcoholic or drug addict.
They won't seek treatmen until they hit rock bottom and we're not there yet.
To me, rock bottom would look more like the early 1930's when unemployment
was around 25 percent and we had much higher levels of poverty than we have
now.
Nobody wants to see such horror, but I am beginning to fear that, short of
such horror, we'll just continue droning along with the status quo. I'd feel
a bit more supportive of Clinton if I believed that she would keep her word
and support the party platform with actions as well as words, but I doubt we
can count on that.
Time for a drink!
Cynically Speaking.
