63 days left until the election (#4231)

      Exactly 9 weeks left until the election. As we have seen in the last few months the trump ramp up to the election is to sow discord and create havoc. His conway person told us that all of the chaos and discord that can be created is helpful to trump. We knew this but they have actually said it to verify our logical assumption. It isn't so much what they say unless they say it in conjunction with their actions. Yesterday trump actually praised the shooter of two and wounding of one in Kenosha to nobody's surprise. The struggle for our generations right now is to keep the forces of authoritarianism held in check while democracy goes forward.
     The ideological lines are there for the clear choosing so there is no doubt as to which political party we decide to back with our votes. Because for maybe the first time in our electoral process the political party is on the ballot not necessarily the persons. Voting all blue or all red is likely the most obvious outcome so there will be little of splitting our votes between candidates of both parties. The reason for that is because the governing party will need all the help it can get in every political office in the country. The federal level for sure but the state level is as vital in this election than anytime I can remember.
     9 weeks left until the votes are being counted. I for one am feeling good about our chances of getting the release of trump's grip from around our throats and getting a big gulp of air in my lungs. The metaphor is applicable because the decision we all finally make at the end of this election will most assuredly define the ability we have to breathe without constraint. From climate change to police reform the restrictions on our individual and collective rights is at stake. I am an older man who has lived most of his life already so the outcome for me is less personal as to me but to my psyche and my honor I will not let the worst of who we are, exemplified in trump, overcome the best who we can be, exemplified by Joe Biden, win out as long as I draw breath!
