Inauguration is twenty- three weeks and three hours away. The thought is at once both a hopeful and terrifying prospect. I have great hope Joe Biden and Kamala Harris though the time to Inauguration seems terrifyingly remote. For 50 days now I have been saving the emails from the Trump campaign, and cross referencing them with those of the Biden campaign. In June I had answered an Official Trump 2020 Poll. We have all seen these polls. It was the kind of poll that says ’For Official Use Only’ and ‘Certified Website of President Donald J. Trump.’ It starts with ‘Who will you vote for in 2020?’…. ‘President Trump or Sleepy Joe Biden?’ At the time I took the survey it seemed like a chance to tell the Trump Campaign just what I really thought of them. I didn’t hold back and it wasn’t pretty. I did not foresee the consequences of my actions. On 6/23/2020 the first email came, and I saved it as a curiosity. Now I have well over a thousand emails from the Trump Campaign although I have never responded to any of them. I have been contacted by Donald J. Trump, Eric Trump, Meet Trump, Donald Trump Jr. (there don’t seem to be as many of these recently), Mike Pense (very few), Laura Trump, DonaldTrump.com, Trump Finance, Trump Match Alert, Official Trump Campaign Store, The Trump Gold Card, The Support Center for Action, The Trump Leader Board ( Your name is missing), The Trump Flash Sale (Is this a campaign or a garage sale?), Free Trump Gear (just send money), Trump Polling for the best of the best, Trump Match, Trump 100 Club, Get Your limited edition personalized Trump Welcome Mat, Hillary Clinton won’t go away, President Trump has upped the stakes can he count on you?, First Time Offer of a Personalized Trump Lawn Sign, and countless offers of Get A Signed Photo of Trump – act fast get yours now. It makes me wonder with all that photo, hat, mat, and yard sign signing where does he find the time to Tweet?
This morning it hit me hard. I realized that I am so very weary of all this. I don’t know how much more of Trump I can take. Trump, Trump everywhere and I need more than a drop to drink. However, we must go on. We cannot stop. We cannot let down our guard even for a moment We must survive Trump’s Internment of Children, Trump’s Bans, Trump’s raids, Trump’s Plague, The Trump Depression, Trump’s Gestapo Shock Troops, Trump’s Profiteering, Trump’s Nepotism, Trump open criminality, Trump’s attempt to kill the USPS, Trump’s trying to steal the election any way he can, Trump’s war on Public Schools, and Trump’s open, loud and proud misogyny, Trump’s Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and Trump’s fast and furious lying that has brought on a climate of Nihilistic Relativism (and this is just the short list). We have a duty to preserve. We have a duty to vote for Joe Biden in 2020.
