I don’t plan these posts far ahead of time. In fact, most are thoughts in the moment combined with ongoing thoughts in my head. This is the first time I have, actually, been afraid of the November election process. I have gone on record stating that I voted for Trump in 2016. I did so because I did not want Hilary in the White House (still don’t). However, that was, I see now, an unwinnable tenet in voting. Trump has taken four very long years out of the life of this country and stepped all over it in the name of progress and self-serving ideals. I was happy when he was elected. That lasted about 3-4 months when I started seeing what a Frankenstein we had elected. This devaluation of Democracy, of United States’ social/economical values, as well as the value of the individual has continued for years now. I have see-sawed on worry about this election. At times, I felt Democracy and pride in our country was going to win out. Right now, I am worried. I still believe that all things work out in the end, but that process, I feel, could be lengthened this November.
I spent this morning catching up on the Conventions a bit. This one speech I, particularly, enjoyed. It held hope and elevation of people at it’s heart. It’s less than 25 mins and I feel it could raise your hopes if you let it.
If you do nothing else, please think about how “Great” America has gotten these last few years. Job losses, disease deaths, hopelessness, wealthy getting wealthier,…the list does not stop there.
I urge you to get out and vote to get America back on track.
Sincerely. Namaste,
Scott
