I want to post today, just because we've been on such a long journey together this election year. I feel I should say something profound or moving or vote-changing.
You've heard me rant and despair and rage and think things through and then rant and despair and rage all over again. You've heard a bit of my political history, too much about Orange Man, and not enough about Bernie Sanders (the one with integrity). You've witnessed my reluctant evolution towards Hillary Clinton, my second thoughts, and my eventual tears at the voting booth last week: A woman! I voted for a woman president!!
But I got nothin'. No profundities, no pearls of wisdom, no final thoughts. I am still in a state of shock that my country is so close to electing a dangerous, impulsive, mentally unbalanced megalomaniac to oversee our nuclear weapons, not to mention the rest of the country. I suppose I'll be musing about that for quite a time.
I hope to be celebrating tonight. I can't entertain any other thought. I have no fear left to offer Donald Trump. I have to breathe again.
And so today I'm cleaning my house. I might listen to NPR a little later to hear some exit polls and punditry. Otherwise, I look forward to roaming from watch party to watch party tonight as the map turns blue. God willing.
Here's my profound message for this Election Day, 2016:
PLEASE GO VOTE, NOW!
