Observations

In 2016, it was possible to have some benefit-of-the-doubt to grant, and presume that a lot of well-meaning folks were hoodwinked.

But in 2024, after the long and very public track record has been established, there’s no doubt remaining from which to benefit. I can only perceive anyone who still supports him now as doing so because they approve of the bullying, the misogyny, the prejudice, the dishonesty. They can’t possibly not know what he is anymore. If they choose him now, aligning with evil is a feature, not a bug.

In short, my country is infested with monsters, and that’s disappointing, at best.

My conscience is clear. I voted for the good person who will not disgrace America before the world. I’m disgusted that it was ever a challenge in the first place to see the torch passed to her, given the debased nature of her competition. We should be better than this. Much better.

I have no grace left to grant for people who support him. He’s made it clear, on a daily basis, as to who he is and what he stands for. Whoever can remain un-repulsed by the sight and sound of it is a disappointment to the Founders’ efforts to establish this country based on justice and freedom. If their conscience is clear, it shouldn’t be, for they have knowingly aligned themselves with evil.
