[Closed] Joe Biden

@unk-p

I sure hope you feel better soon. Kidney stones are no joke! Hope you pass that thing and feel some relief!

What do you all see past inauguration? Do you see a different national response to Covid early next year? Another nationwide shutdown? 

@jeanne-mayell thank you, Jeanne! and @everyone! Big hugs for you all! the love of this community means the world to me.  And the healing you sent must have worked, because i feel better now.  In fact, this was the easiest time i have ever gone thru with a k-stone ( i have had them  7 or 8 times).

 Looks like i mostly missed day 72, sorry about that, but that brings us down to

71 days until the Election!

 Here is a nice quote from Mr. 46:

  "The current president has cloaked America in darkness for much too long. Too much anger. Too much fear. Too much division. Here and now, I give you my word: If you entrust me with the presidency, I will draw on the best of us, not the worst. I will be an ally of the light, not of the darkness."

                     peace & love ❤️ 

I posted the DNC Avengers clip not so long ago. Now, the Late Show with Colbert made an RNC version. Meet.... Thanos' crew...

@unk-p

i’m so glad you’re feeling better.  You always make me smile.

@unk-p

Feel better!

Could be worse, could be raining!

Oh wait, are you in Texas??? Be safe! My climate change wrath is headed your way.

@laura-f  ok, sorry about all the Hurricane Laura jokes i made.  But if they ever have a Hurricane Unk-P, i will expect you to do the same ?

@unk-p

I will admit it.  I am scared.

The closer we get to the election, the more anxious I feel.

I am scared Trump is somehow going to win again via cheating.

I keep telling myself that I live in a very very red state that loves Trump.  I tell myself that my neighbors optimism for his chances are overblown.  That Fox News is wrong.  That they are deluding themselves.

Am I doubting my own feelings about Trump?  No.  I felt sick to my stomach when he made his escalator speech over 4 years ago, and despite my efforts to try to understand him and my neighbors, I simply cannot reconcile myself to believe that Trump is somehow good and just misunderstood by me.  That he is somehow Jesus's representative on earth.

So I don't doubt that Trump's reelection would likely spell the end of our country.  But I am scared that maybe our efforts won't be enough.  That people willing believe his lies or forget the harm he has done.  Today, I actually wondered if I need to make plans in case Trump does win, particularly as it comes to the economy and my health insurance.

I guess that I need some encouragement right now.  It is so hard living in a pro Trump state.  I have lost so much faith and trust in so many people here, and I am disillusioned with them.  I can't stand church anymore and am barely holding on to my religious beliefs from my childhood, since the same people who told me about how God is so good are now supporting someone who is the opposite of everything they preached.

I don't know if I can make it through another four years of Trumpism.  I guess I am looking for some light right now to illuminate my darkness.

@allyn i hear you.  But i think a lot of it may be because of where you live.  I spent a few months in Knoxville, once.  The people there were not afraid to let me know that i didn't fit in.  And that was just their reaction to my appearance.  If they had known what i was thinking, it would have caused a riot, or something.  I did eventually meet a small tribe of neo-beatniks in the old part of town, near the UT campus.  But it was not enough to make me feel that the place was livable.

  Be of good cheer.  45 is not nearly as popular as his loud-mouthed supporters pretend.  Especially in other parts of the country.  We got this!
