My Unenthusiastic Vote - Part Two

I can't wait until Election Day is over . . . and then I can go back to watching something other than the news on television.  Unless, of course, Trump wins and i have to prepare to flee the country before he returns to power and turns the nation into a 3.8-million-square-mile East Berlin.

But, assuming Kamala Harris wins, which is beginning to look more likely,  I am expecting the next four years to be little different from the previous four years . . . though I do expect the Heritage Foundation to reprint a version of its right-wing agenda for the next Republican President with a new title . . . Project 2029.

I'm sorry.  I've been living in These States too long.  When anyone talks about change coming to America, I'm like . . .

Let me explain it in the best way I can understand . . ..  When Bill Clinton was elected President in 1992, I expected change for the better . . . and got Newt Gingrich and the Contract With America, followed by another Bush.  When Barack Obama was elected President, I expected change for the better . . . and got the Tea Party.  When Martin O'Malley ran for President, I expected change for the better . . . and got laughed at for supporting a loser of a candidate, followed by a choice between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump . . . and then "President Trump," two words I still can't put together with a straight face.  And when Joe Biden was elected President, I expected change for the better . . . and got the January 6 insurrection, before President Biden was even sworn in.  After that, I pretty much decided that America is what America is, and we shouldn't try to make America what it ain't.

So I think I'm going to stand back, but not stand by.  The 2024 election campaign is coming to an end.  Wake me when it's over.

Especially if Trump wins, because I know his administration will see to it that, thanks to what I've written about him here, I'll be sleeping permanently.  Likely, with the fishes.
