We’ve got fluffy clouds and a little more rain on the way, probably, tonight. But who knows, strange weather is what we’re likely to get from here on out.
Whatever “out” may be.
I can’t help thinking about where we are, but my contemplation of near-dystopia was interrupted by a headline saying that the guy arrested for being in donald’s vicinity with a gun wrote a note FOUR MONTHS AGO saying “this was an assassination attempt.”
I’m not going to lie, I burst out laughing. It sounds like the scheming of a child who thinks he is a genius, laying out an impenetrable plot with his parents, all the while, having the phone at the ready to record his antics, start to finish.
According to the article, he supposedly dropped off the note and a box four months ago at someone’s house, bemoaning his failure at an attempt.
So I ask you: how did he know he would fail? How did he know it was an attempt?
I mean come on, people, if you’re going to try to retcon the situation that not even some donald supporters believe, maybe don’t take your solution from TikToks about children and pets getting caught red-handed.
(Did you know that phrase originates in Scotland and refers to murderers with blood still on their hands? I didn’t, I just looked it up. Fitting.)
But it does bring me back to my disbelief that we could be sitting so close to the edge of total tragedy. So close to a country that sets a global stage for the worst humanity has to offer, that rewards the terrible and punishes the good. That revolves around a man who thinks that planting a note somewhere saying that it WAS an “assassination attempt,” it WAS, it WAS will coerce people into believing in it as opposed to gales of unintended giggles.
I mean really.
We have the opportunity for a bright future, not only for us, not only for the young people who have grown up under the cloud of donald’s narcissistic darkness, but for an entire world ready for peace and calm and beautiful things ahead.
Yes there are some global monsters still to be reckoned with, but humanity always seems to have some of those. The question is how we will push them aside, how we will show the world it is possible to learn from mistakes and not repeat them.
In VP Harris and Gov. Walz, the future is a welcoming place, not just for Democrats, but for everyone who can step out of this fog of hatred and anger and jealousy and bigotry and into a glistening reality which may not give us flying cars (please, never flying cars, people can’t even drive in two dimensions) or robot butlers (well maybe on that one) but affordable housing, affordable education, renewable energy, living wages, access to healthcare, secure retirement.
I can see it. And if you’re reading my blog, well I suspect you can see it.
So let’s help all those people who can’t yet see it. Let’s help all those people who understand the alternative is not only ridiculous, but dangerous on a global scale.
Let’s help those people to understand it can be there for all of us, and we can leave the slimy bits behind.
Have a great Monday.
