REALITY CHECK

 



I have not felt like posting for the last three months because the election consumed everyone’s waking moment.   I did feel confident that Trump would be defeated soundly and that Republicans were living in a bubble.  It turned out that my wife and I lived in the bubble.


There is a lot of discussion as to what went wrong.   Democratic pundits are speculating that the economy was the issue that should have been the main focus of the Harris campaign, but I feel it is more basic than that.  When Democrats were looking at voting populations, they always contrasted the support of college voters and non-college voters, by doing this, they alienated non-college voters.  It was an elitist comparison.


I am mid-eighties and can’t afford negativity consuming my last years.   At this point, I don’t give a fuck.   This becomes a problem for younger people. 




 

Posting is my outlet for writing.  I will continue to post on random subjects that appeal to me.     

Mellow out, and keep it between the ditches
