There Are Two Ways To Be Happy:

Improve your reality, or lower your expectations. (Jodi Picoult) From the reality of the past three plus years, it is obvious that somewhere between 35% and 40% of our population have chosen significantly lower expectations. That is a sad commentary on our current state of affairs. To the Donald Trump Loyalists, If you did not care that Trump: Paid off mistresses Wished a child sex trafficker "well" Extorted Ukraine for political gain Welcomed Russian interference in the election Accepted Putin's word over our intelligence community Called white supremacists "very fine people" Did not challenge Russia on bounties paid to kill Americans Stocked his campaign staff with criminals Commuted the sentence of Roger Stone Insulted a Gold Star family Insulted John McCain's military service while he sat out Vietnam with "bone spurs" Resorts to childish name-calling to insult myriad others on Twitter Was fined $25 million for his fraudulent Trump University Was forced to shut down his charitable foundation due to financial impropriety Has declared bankruptcy six times Owes hundreds of millions in loans to a foreign bank Violates the emoluments clause of the Constitution Won't release his tax returns Has a web of financial entanglements involving various Russian oligarchs and criminals Has made sick, creepy references to his daughter Was good friends with Jeffrey Epstein Has politicized the Justice Department Has stocked his Cabinet and administration with unqualified sycophants Takes no responsibility for a woefully inept response to a pandemic which has claimed the lives of over 160,000 Americans. Enriches himself through constant taxpayer funded golf trips to his own properties Lies constantly - proven falsehoods told or Tweeted thousands of times during his presidency Promotes bogus, disproven conspiracy theories I could go on - truly I could, but if you don't mind any of those actions, then you certainly don't care that Trump is admittedly undermining the United States Postal Service in an attempt to squelch mail-in voting - a legal, legitimate, and long-used method of voting. Suppression of voting is a dictatorial tactic. If none of that bothers you enough to change your allegiance to Joe Biden, then God help us all. It's beyond political at this point. The reality is that high expectations, and standards of decency, decorum, and fairness no longer exist. Let's improve our reality.
