Take a step back

Lyle Northey (Silent/Boomer)

As we get closer to making the decision as to how our country will be run, not just for the next 4 years but very possibly forever, it becomes more important to register and vote. At present we have the right and duty to express our wishes at the ballot box. Trump is promising that if he is elected we will no longer be bothered by this rather trivial recurring event. Guess that means that there will be no need to express your wishes as you will have not rights or at least no right to express.
Some are holding on to the notion that he will somehow be better this time around than he was on the first trip. With the glorification of imaginary people like Hannable Lector and talking about producing so much electricity that you will beg to have it shut off, one has to wonder about mental stability. We saw his adoration for the autocrats of the world and his disdain of those that have served to defend this nation, and yet there are people that still think he will do a good job.
The other problem is, of course, that Harris is a woman and it is well known that women are inferior beings. That status was bestowed on them from ages ago and has only been enforced by a male dominated society. Men have maligned women and come up with all sorts of denigrating names to call them, and yet the male of the species never seems to stop pursuing them.
Some cultures have the idea that girls are worthless or can be sacrificed for the glory of the male. The truth is that without the female there would be no perpetuation of the species. Granted a male can father potentially thousands of children in the time it takes for one child to develop and be born, but without that birth there would be nothing.
As to a woman being President or the leader of a nation there have been many Queens that ruled over the centuries and still rule today. There have been elected leaders of nations that were women and they have done very well in those positions so the argument that they are unfit for such roles is totally unfounded.
Why are so many determined to make judgements about abilities based only on gender, or color of skin, or some other superficial nonsense? Every person that strives to be more that merely one of the crowd is tested by one means or another for suitability in the place and we see a goodly number fail. All one has to do today to see the failure rate of those being elected to office is look to Congress and observe the republican representatives therein. The House has done little else in the last 2 years except try to run interference for Trump in his legal battles.
This coming election will hopefully keep democracy alive. No doubt the loser of this battle will behave as he did before and claim that he was cheated out of the election. It would be nice if that doesn’t happen but the only way that is possible is if he chokes to death on a hamburger.
