Still feeling sandbagged by the prospect of four years of That Guy. I'm reading various articles dissecting the reasons for the outcome (misogyny, fear of 'wokeness,' the economy, immigration . . .) and trying to assemble my own thoughts.
Till those thoughts reach coherence, I'll keep quiet on the subject. Expect photos, Josie, recipes, critters, and random rambling.

Good choice. Whatever I have read still mystifies me. I still see a very high bar vs a very low bar, and that mindset baffles me.
The world turned upside down... a good metaphor.
Personally, I don't know if I can stand looking at that man's mean little mouth for another four years, or - God forbid - for even longer!
I may never watch TV news again. I feel as if someone I love dearly has died. That someone is my country.
Good idea. There are some interesting things being said, but I don't know how much weight to give them...and don't like hearing what they have to say anyway. Visuals are my choice.
It's like Monday morning quarterbacking. I'm not reading NY Times or Wash Post but local newspaper carries stories. I feel as though everything I believed has been repudiated as wrong but I know that can't be right. How can what's wrong have won?
I think "photos, Josie, recipes, critters, and random rambling" are exactly what we need right now, Vicki. Thank you for providing an oasis in the desert of our despair.
I'm not there yet at all and I'm going to give myself some time to grieve and brace myself - but a little voice is telling me to try and see what they see. I see my point of view so clearly and it seems so right and good but all of these people see something that I don't. I still fervently believe that they are wrong but I want to try and figure out what they see. It reminds me of those optical illusions a picture that can look like a duck or a rabbit... I don't know that it will help any but it's where I'm going to start.
I don't think the optical illusion idea works here, whatever his followers see. I think it's about the glasses they wear. It is, after all, easier to not think than it is to think.
