16. But democracy would be alive, and so would . . .

America's world leadership, the stock market and our savings. So would education, health care--including Medicare and Medicaid--Social Security, unions, LGBTQ+ rights, women's rights, DEI. We wouldn't be losing many top scientists and other intellectual leaders. Immigrants would be safe. Protesters wouldn't be swept off the streets in KGB-style kidnappings, and there would be no illegal deportations. An idiot like RFK Jr. wouldn't be fanning the flames of measles outbreaks and other insane health issues. We wouldn't have a FOX News host as secretary of defense and using Signal to share military attack plans with journalists. We wouldn't be cozying up to Russia and Putin and mockiing the courage of Zelensky and Ukraine.

My gawd . . . the whole world would be an infinitely better place with Harris/Walz. And every time I think of that I become physically ill. The MAGA cult has stolen my country by choosing Evil over Good. It's that simple. As Cory Booker has said, it's never been about the right or the left, it's always been about right and wrong. Given that simple choice, US voters chose Wrong, and all of us decent human beings are suffering as a result.

I will NEVER forgive any of them. NEVER.
