It's fall, and we need to feel a little chill in the air...
https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2024/10/its-fall-and-we-need-to-feel-chill-in.htmlThis election season is intense. We know what is at stake. We saw this man serve in the Presidency for four years and it was a disaster. Then we saw January 6th, and we know he has no respect for the law, the Constitution, anything, in fact, except his own interests, all of which involve money. We know that American democracy as we know it will be destroyed systematically by letting him back in the White House.
We are aware of his attempts to suppress the vote, and of all of the potential damage that will be done to our country if he is elected. He has threatened, bullied, and his antics have attracted media attention like no other subversive personality in American history. The fact that he is now the three time nominee of the Republican party, twice impeached, with felony convictions, awaiting sentencing and two trials is an indication that something is seriously wrong with our politics, and the only fix we have is to vote him down once again, this time in such a way that a clear message is sent to the GOP. Don't do this again!
And that has created a level of political stress like I've never seen before. We're stressing out at everything, we're envisioning doom and gloom scenarios as if there is no hope, we're grasping at straws, fearing the worst, trembling at every blip in the polls, scanning them for information that, frankly, isn't there and that they're not going to provide.
It's time to sit back, take a deep breath, let it out, and relax. Chill for a moment. Breathe in again, and relax. There, I hope that feels better.
She's going to win this. It should make all of us feel better realizing that Biden was going to win this, too. How do I know? Well, not by worrying and hand wringing over the polls.
