A Collective Breath

In four short days, there is the possibility that the world will hear the collective exhale in the United States. Our face might look like that map of the electorate that CNN has been showing for weeks, Red, Purple, Blue, until finally we’re able to breathe again and not have to see the map for four more years.

There’s a lot that keeps me up at night, and has ever since our nation started traveling this path. Even if democracy prevails, there is a real possibility that our nation will be sent into chaos. I don’t believe we will have a lame duck president after the election. When a narcissistic sociopath who has shown his vindictive side holds the highest office in the land, there is a lot he can do in two and a half short months. Will we heal after he’s done his best to ignite his base, fire all the civil servants who aren’t loyalists, challenge every state he loses in court, actively torpedo the economy, and work against keeping the pandemic from continuing to bring unparalleled death? Yes, I believe we will.

After I exhale, I will finally be able to return to more light-hearted blogs about silly things like bras and vibrators. And, the readers can hopefully look forward to reading again and hopefully checking out my books which have a decidedly lighter tone than some of my blogs of late.
