Reality on the Ballot

Donald Trump just declared that we had "crystal clear air and water" when he was president. This is a sample of what to expect in an America with a re-elected Trump--an America where reality is what Donald Trump says it is. A reality where:

--The 2020 election was rigged

--Global warming is a hoax

--Windmills are killing whales and giving us cancer

--Public schools are performing sex changes

--Homicidal immigrants are eating our pets

--Some Nazis are very fine people

--A convicted sex offender is protecting our women

--The Jan. 6 insurrection was a day of love

--Disagreeing with the president is an act of treason

AND where, God help us . . . . the universal anthem of gay men is a dance tune for rhythmically challenged Republicans!

It's not just opposing policies on the ballot this year, it's opposing realities.Trump will claim that being re-elected means that all of his past lies are immediately confirmed as truths--and he'll never let us forget it. Revenge for every injury to his fragile ego will be the sole concern of a second Trump presidency. As in his bestie's North Korea, information will be replaced by the Official Reality coming from our dear leader--a narcissist, pathological liar, and sexual predator.

I hope that this vision scares the hell out of you, because it certainly should. The only way to stop it is with a crushing victory by Kamala Harris. And every vote does count. Biden won some states in 2020 by only a few thousand votes. So, get as many people to vote as you can. Remind them that the price of eggs fluctuates, but a fascist takeover could be forever; that even 4 years of watching Donald Trump's smug, makeup slathered face as he jerks spasmodically to "YMCA" is a fate no one should endure. Offer rides to the polling place, bribe them with flattery, meals, sexual favors--whatever the hell it  takes. REALITY itself is on the line this time, and that's for real!
