Freaking Out

I don’t understand my fellow Americans. Trump is a criminal. Every word out of his mouth is a verifiable lie. Literally every word. 230,000 Americans are dead because he refuses to take any action on Covid-19.

…and there are American citizens voting for him today. It’s unbelievable. It’s unconscionable. I just don’t understand. It’s bad enough that he and the Russians rigged the last election and it’s pretty much guaranteed he is rigging it again… and American citizens are still voting for him.

How can this happen?

How to Spend Election Day

So how have you been spending your election day? In lock down, I hope.

I rewatched The new Mandalorian episode and a few recent Archers and a South Park. I popped into work for an 11:00 meeting. I played quite a bit of electric guitar. I used my new bluesbreaker clone paired up with the Klon Centaur klone I bought back in May. With both pedals set to really low gain, they add up to a pretty freaking wonderful mid-gain tone. With the Klone gain off and the Blooze Maker set very high it’s… not as wonderful, but still pretty cool. I put guitars on two new November songs and three old re-recording songs. My fingers are screwy now so I’m taking a break in case I need to blow off stress steam later.

I’ve done a little doom scrolling on twitter. Not much. I’ve managed to stay away. I don’t know if I’ll be able to stay away for long. The draw of rumor and speculation is strong. Very strong.

Vote out the nazis.

Game On

Well kids… it’s time. Four years have lead to this moment. Four years of evil and corruption and fascism and it all comes down to this. Today is the day we learn whether or not our elections are rigged. Again.

Here in Methuen, Massachusetts the polls are open. They will remain open until 8:00pm. That’s 12 hours from now.

Please vote to put an end to this nightmare.

Vote Them Out

We’re getting really close to election day. It’s 10:00 here in New England. I think the polls open at 7:00am. You might not hear from me again before then.

I’m stressing out like mad. I’ve got a bunch of songs that are ready for me to record guitar parts. I’m hoping to spend some time working on them tomorrow so that I can do something other than doom scroll the twitters while crying at the destruction of my country’s government.

The temptation to eat my fears is very high but I’m going to try to stick to the intermittent fasting. I need to be good. on top of all the election day stress, it’s also my weigh in day. Who is the add wizard who came up with this campaign?

I’m not freaking out yet. Okay, I am freaking out now, but only a little. Hang in there, America.

Getting Closer

The Monday work day is almost over. I took tomorrow off because I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to concentrate with the election stress. I will sneak in for a meeting in the morning, but otherwise I’m planning to lock myself in my bedroom with my guitar and just strum the open strings while I cry and try not to have a heart attack or twelve.

How many presidential elections have I voted in? I turned 18 in 1989 so I missed the ’88 election by six months.

1992 I voted for Clinton
1996 I voted for Clinton
2000 I voted for Gore
2004 I voted for Kerry
2008 I voted for Obama
2012 I voted for Obama
2016 I voted for the other Clinton
2020 I voted for Biden

This is my eighth presidential election. They were all vitally important. 2016 seemed more important than the others as we had to deal with a fascist across the aisle.

2020 though… 2020 is the first time I have literally felt that the fate of the future of the nation I’ve lived in and loved for 49 years hangs in the balance. 2016 felt like a make or break. 2020 feels like a life or horrible, agonizing, miserable death.

Vote for Biden. Don’t let fascism win again.

One More Day

One more day of worry and uncertainty. One more day of stress and confusion. Tomorrow is a day of action. At least for those who haven’t exercised their right to vote yet.

After that it’s a waiting game. We wait to see if our country is still the country I was raised in, or if it is beyond repair and no longer worth saving.

The lines are clear. One candidate represents democracy by encouraging Americans to vote. The other candidate represents fascism by going out of his way to intimidate the other candidate and stop Americans from voting. In this choice, there is no choice.

Let’s put an end to this idiocy. Vote for Joe Biden.

He’s in the Hospital

Trump was flown to Walter Reed Hospital on Marine One tonight. I am very conflicted about this.

I don’t want him to die. Not because I’m a good person but because I want to see him spend his final years in jail for what he’s done to my country.

At the same time, I want this fascist bullshit over and that’s one way to close the door. I hope there are 208,000 or so ghosts in that hospital room with him. I hope they torment him for the rest of his evil life. I know they won’t because he’s too disgusting to be bothered by anything as human as guilt, but the idea is nice anyway.

I don’t wish him well. I wouldn’t wish any nazi well. I am very curious to see how this plays out. I’m still not 100% convinced it’s real. Every word he’s uttered since Obama took office has been a lie. Why should this be any different?

I’m just going to sit on Twitter with my confirmation bias and wait to see what’s next.

The Pandemic Special

Is it fate? Is it a coincidence?

On the same day the South Park Pandemic Special airs, the nazi in chief tests positive?

I honestly don’t wish illness on anyone, especially someone in their 70’s who is almost as out of shape as I am (no one is actually as out of shape as I am). Still… he did tell us it was going away on it’s own back in February. Maybe if he’d done something to help rather than block efforts at every turn he wouldn’t be in this mess right now. Maybe if he’d taken it seriously rather than imply that injecting bleach was the way to go he wouldn’t be in this mess right now.

Then again… I still think this is a campaign stunt. A shameless, heinous campaign stunt. Prove me wrong, fascist.

Karma Komeback 2020

The president has announced that he has tested positive for COVID-19.

He’s a pathological liar though so it’s probably some (combed over) hair brained campaign stunt. If not, it is the very definition of karmic retribution. I mean… I think it is. I’ve never studied the philosophy behind karma. I’m just going on western pop culture’s “definition” of karma. You know what I mean though, right?

Now we find out what he really thinks of that fish tank cleaner drug crap, or injecting bleach. Those things were good enough for the American people, are they good enough for him?

I’m pretty sure it’s a stunt though. He will be in front of the cameras in two weeks saying it’s not a big deal and we should vote for him because of his superior genes. Something like that.
