A very short post. I know I am not the only one who is experiencing a kind of cognitive dissonance this holiday. July 4 is usually full of beer, BBQ, friends. Sometimes a pig roast was part of the mix, sometimes just great camaraderie and laughter, warnings of drinking enough water to counteract the wine, bringing salads or cookies to the party..... in other words, socialization. This year we have our fucking POTUS (Person Of The Utmost Stupidity) deliberately creating more unrest and a larger divide in our country instead of trying to unite everyone to fight the war against Covid-19 and the war against racial injustice. This quote from NYT says it all: ... he signaled even more clearly that he would exploit race and cultural flash points to stoke fear among his base of white supporters in an effort to win the election.
We certainly live in unprecedented times. At this moment, when people are dying because of the virus, when people of color are not safe in their homes and on their streets, we have a so-called leader who will stop at nothing to denigrate non-white citizens and will stop at nothing to defile this nation with his incendiary rhetoric.
We need independence from this asshole. In a few months, make sure you and everyone you know votes. We need to be free of such evil.
