JUST A COMMENT ON AUGUST 1. IN 2023
this whole "donald," and GOP thing, is completely insane but, it's the "here and now." we are in a rather important moment of political history. next year's elections will be, either "the end," or some kind of "beginning," when THAT special day comes along. whatever could be defined as "middle ground, or "common sense," has all been "Go(e)bbeld" up, whenever we had a GOP President, over the last few decades. the occasional DEM Presidents were handed a mess so large, that no President, from whatever party, even through 8 years, could just FIX. but it was always our fault. we are, politically spoken, right at the edge of the proverbial cliff. as an immigrant, i fought to be able to live here. after many years, i became an American. sadly, what i see around me, is not the America i wanted to live in, when i came here. if the worst scenario should manifest itself, next year, you know the day, i fear that it will drive me away. apart from my vote, i cannot fight "the donald's troupes." if other people in this country manage to bring the monster back again, i could not bear it, or ignore it, much less join it. i live with growing concern. it's like having to fight an "invisible giant," of whom we don't know its size, or its capacity. we won't know until the day it counts. in the meantime, in my mind, i am aware that a percentage of the people who can, potentially, bring him back, are all around me. at the supermarket, etc. i don't know who they are. they don't know me. mind you, i probably do know some of them and say "Hi" to them down in the village. all i do know is, they can destroy what little good is left in this country, after Covid and one trump presidency, if there's enough of them. and they won't give anybody else, anyone who hasn't drunk the cool-aid, a second thought. NOW, that thought is sorta scary to me. i am a sensitive soul, although, in today's world, that's a "NoNo". over the last 3 years, i have started to avoid people, and places where they crowd together, more and more. used to be an open, friendly, social person. had to stop that, due to repeat experiences. there's only me to protect myself. so, all of this is very serious stuff, which can destroy us, directly and, generally, spoken. am i being too paranoid here!? cauz' i dunno anymore... somebody say something, please.
