Like many people in the majority who voted for another candidate, I strongly considered invoking my dual European citizenship and moving out of the USA after the 2016 election. That was by far the worst year of my life, having lost my mother very quickly to ovarian cancer in addition to the backward results of the onerous election season. Due to her death, my siblings and I inherited a home in Italy near our extended family. A respite from the ensuing chaos that we are now in the throes of here in the USA sounded appealing, but I do not blame one orange man. In the end, I’m glad I stayed to fight, in my own ways.

Dump45 is a symptom of ignorance and an inadequate educational system extolling mendacity, hatred of various kinds, and greed over logic and truth. I could write tomes about why Dumpist supporters should abandon their cultish admiration, but there would just be another blowhard to replace him until we collectively wake up and put through legislation and fortified means to combat minority candidates getting the White House role. White people in rural America do NOT deserve 1.5 votes. Effectively that is what the electoral college system has yielded for the USA.

Unfortunately I see no traction on an effort to replace that legacy of slavery, nor the suggestion that we increase the number of judges on SCOTUS to combat the generational damage that has already been done with stolen seats from sheer hypocrisy of the Repugs. When I say collectively wake up, I don’t mean the general “woke” movement, which I support, but more of the great swaths of our ignorant voting populace getting fed propaganda that should make a trained journalist cringe on a network and other media that purport to be actual news agencies, rather than cudgels against rationality.

Cheeto45 is at least twenty years older than me and admits to a far worse diet than I would ever sanction. I don’t know how genetically superior he thinks he is (an Aryan argument, no doubt), but when he looks himself in the mirror I know he doesn’t see Stallone of forty years ago that he tweeted his head photoshopped onto. I can only imagine what his insides look like if he really eats the way he claims to.

I actually would be fine with cutting our prosecutorial losses for the sake of the office of the presidency, letting this buffoon leave the White House without any further charges against him, whether he leaves by impeachment, quitting, or being voted out legitimately. I don’t want the backlash from his supporters if he is eviscerated legally, as he deserves, not that he is capable of exhibiting any shame. Hopefully he doesn’t have that much left of his natural life left to live anyway.

I agree with Bill Maher on about 90% of things, but despite Maher’s warnings, I have zero concern about Dump not vacating the presidency that he never seriously wanted in the first place. No matter where Dump is physically (and he’s not been known to curtail much travel when coined by taxpayers), his time will be over and he would not be transported by us anymore. At some point, whoever is sworn in as President after him, will be recognized regardless of her residence or location.

Just like Larry Kramer wrote about Reagan’s death after Larry outlived his nemesis, I will take great satisfaction in living in a world without this man. Besides the plethora of other good reasons for me to live a long, healthy life, I hope that I’m around to dance on the grave of this bitter liar and blameworthy useful idiot to the imperialist Soviet legacy and the root cause of countless avoidable deaths and injury (caged children and Kurds included). Time is on my side.
