What a Difference a week makes, eh......

In the aftermath of the now notorious debate, I admit I was feeling hopeless.  Joe was saying that only a visit from God would change his mind about leaving the race for the Oval Office.  The overwhelming feeling across the land was that Trump was now in the driver seat and his re-election was almost inevitable.  Having seen Joe's blank stare and gaping mouth, this did not seem far-fetched at all.

But, then something happened.  Whether Joe had a late night visitation from on high, or whatever, we may never know.  But, he changed his mind and, as he stepped back, he simultaneously named Kamala Harris as his choice to succeed him. I doubt seriously if any pundit or political analyst could have predicted how immediate and wildly enthusiastic the reaction across the country was.

In so many divers ways it suddenly made sense that A) it's high time for a woman president, and B) her being a woman of color was a perfect response to the racist and misogynist crap that oozes throughout MAGA-land.  So, a vast number of women were ready to throw themselves into getting Kamala elected and so were most of the other Americans who have long felt disenfranchised, including the LGBTQ+ community, the Latino population, and too many more segments of our society to list here.  Anybody who was fearful of what would happen if the Great Cheeto managed to steal his way back to the Oval, suddenly saw someone who had their interests at heart, and who has the goods, i.e. intelligence, experience, integrity and the multiple qualities that are so glaringly missing from the Big Orange Idiot.  

Kamala is not only qualified in terms of career experience, but more to the point, she's a decent and dedicated human being who has striven to serve the broad spectrum of people that make  up America.  When I see her on the screen, big or small, my instant reaction is that she can be trusted to be the Warrior Queen who can destroy the Idiot.  She is feisty and smart, and will suffer no B.S. from him or his pathetic minions.

I think it's just amazing and wonderful that the fact that Kamala readily laughs...drives the MAGA idiots absolutely nuts.  Eeeeeeha.

She is the absolute antithesis of the Idiot...thank God.

So, here we are, at an inestimably critical 'Y' in the road of American history.  We will either manage to defeat the anti-democracy movement led by the Idiot, or we will  be plunged into perhaps the darkest period of American history since slavery, and our very own Native American holocaust.

Not only can we do it.............we MUST.

The alternative is too horrible to even contemplate.
