to say i am beside myself would be to minimize this moment in history.

what i can’t understand is that this whole ENTIRE country is not beside itself.

what i can’t understand is that half this country is voting for a candidate who has no intention of furthering democracy, no intention of goodness, every intention of autocratic power, the demolition of human rights, acts seeking revenge and retribution.

what i can’t understand is the explaining-away – the sane-washing – the absolute worship of this incoherent, unworthy, unhinged, unfit maga candidate.

what i can’t understand is the hatred, the hideously ugly maga agenda.

what i can’t understand are members of this populace who are unswerving, unconcerned about fascism, about autocratic governing, about abolishing the constitution of this country.

we are the generation that has this moment in our hands. we are the people.

please consider reality.

stop sloughing off all the warning signs that we are standing on a dangerous political precipice.

stop viewing through rose-colored adoring glasses this candidate who could literally give not one sh*t about you – no matter who you are.

stop sickeningly acting like this maga candidate is the second coming. subscribing to that is an insult to your intelligence, an insult to the universe and to any deity you might believe in.

decide if you want fascism or democracy. and, if you decide fascism, research what that really means – for you, your family, your community, your state, your country. and then ask yourself why you would choose such tyrannical ultranationalist extreme ideology.

vote with conscience and with morality, knowing that one day you will no longer stand on this earth but you will have made a difference for those who came behind you, you will have created the world they will live in.

choose that world with great deliberation, meticulously, very, very carefully.

open your eyes before it’s too late.
