About 7 months or so ago, Covid-19 was really ramping up, people were being sequestered at home, self isolating, being laid off, some lost their jobs, companies closed, the world was confused, scared, people were alone, bored, and some were very lonely.
The last roughly 4 years have been gob smacked bizarre and just surreal. And of course Covid only compounded that insanity. In about 3 weeks we're having an election, and Thank God!!! for that. Regardless who wins, no matter how long it takes to determine a winner, the potential chaos, probable violence (hopefully not) from minimal, to some new version of a civil war (doubled quadrupled hope not)...at least this "phase" will be done. The campaign slogans, signs, robocalls, the ads begging for money, the lies, the lies about the lies, the lies coming from the lying liars that lie about lying...will, well they won't stop, but they will calm down for a bit, change direction, sort of tamp down for a time, and that will be an enormous blessing.
I have a few people that are somewhat entertained by my posts here, and on some social media venues (though God only knows why). So at that time, I figured I'd sort of increase posts, try to make people distracted, try to make some people laugh, posting a bunch of silly memes, sometimes making a point, maybe helping to elucidate on a few facts, just generally maybe, perhaps, possibly, make a few isolated people a bit happier. Not sure I succeeded in that, but an effort was made.
At this point though, nothing I say or do is going to matter, on the political front. People have had about 4 years to evaluate the Trumpian doctrine, agenda, modus operandi...or really the lack of the aforementioned, and people are either going to vote, not vote, and will vote however they've decided. On a personal level, I could not be less enthusiastic about my voting options...but there it is. What I do know is, I am spent on watching and reading news, hearing blathering, babbling, bloviating, pompous platitudes and promises from candidates, and have seen and posted an overload of memes...and am taking a bit of a break from those sorts of posts....for the most part. I'll still be blogging...just less of that type of content. :)
