Went to bed depressed last night cuz DJT won in Florida and was doing well in many states. Did not watch TV or read the papers this morning. Just like I do when the Canes lose, I stay off the grid for 24-48 hours to let my emotions calm a bit and not relive the loss by reading about it, over and over. Now, on Wednesday afternoon I just saw that Biden might actually win. 🤞
But, I’m gonna eat a healthy dose of crow regardless. Why?
* true believer support for Trump is real. He lives inside the heads of many, many people, energizing them to vote and support him.
* the polls were wrong again. Can’t believe the inaccuracy again and again.
* the country is as culturally divided as I have seen since 1968. That year, we had: a wild and violent Democratic convention; assasination of RFK and Martin Luther King; racial turmoil and violence; anti Vietnam War mass protests; and student demonstrations all across the country. Passionate and crazy stuff.
The current cultural conflict will, I fear, continue whether Trump or Biden wins. I don’t look forward to that.
Anyway, I predicted Joe would win handily. I was wrong. Eating crow now.
Peace.
