24 Hours After Election Day 2024.
I didn’t intend for the first newsletter to start off this way, but I felt compelled to say something about the situation that we find ourselves in.
I voted on election day and then I moved on with my daily business per usual. I didn’t watch the election results as they came in. I stopped doing that many years ago. I don’t see the point. I will find out eventually anyway. I don’t need a blow-by-blow account of the results by one of the many talking heads.
Upon reading that Kamala’s bid for the presidency had failed, I can say I was mildly stunned, which slowly metamorphosed into a numbness.
The sensation was akin to a death. I desire for things to pause, but life is life and time is time, and neither of them slow down for anyone, so it was back to business as usual; tending to the house, the family and work later on in the day.
To be honest, even if Kamala had won, the feeling that I have now, would have been the same. This is when the real work begins. Even if she had won, there are a plethora of things wrong that she would not and could not fix. The key difference now is that many of the problem in our society, will grow in number, as Trump and his Ilk, create new ways to break fragile systems and produce greater problems.
