I voted early this morning, standing in line with lots of people, both to pick up my ballot and to turn it in when done. The whole process took about 30 minutes.
I’ve voted early for many years; this is the first time I’ve noticed big crowds lined up.
Of course, on the way in, I paid attention to the crowded signs stuck into the one small, allowed, corner of the grass. All but two Democratic. Those two were, yes, Trump/Vance and one for Todd Rokita, AG for the state of Indiana since 2020 and is running for re-election.
I’ve liked him from the beginning. His latest controversy involves an investigation into the voting status of more than half million immigrants.
Bloomington, is a blue city in a red state. Especially blue because it’s also a university town.
Drive a few minutes out of city limits, in any direction, and blue shifts to red.
Sometimes I think about putting a Trump/Vance sign in this front yard. (If I did, it would be the first one I’ve seen in Bloomington . . .) However, I’m the only one who lives here who feels the way I do, so that doesn’t seem kosher.
Okay. How about my sign and the others put up Harris/Walz signs? Both in this front yard. What would that communicate to the world? And, would those who live here be able to tolerate the obvious division, which usually stays sub rosa, under the surface. As I always say to everybody, especially since the covid con divided us originally, “Let’s just stay with what we have in common.”
Oh well, it will soon be over, at least this initial part of the drama as as we head into November and December, which will likely feature one of the following:
If Trump wins by a landslide, then the left will use antifa to drum up hatred, rioting, etc., hoping to conjure up civil war.
If Harris cheats enough to appear to win, then the right will get organized, hopefully in a peaceful manner.
Or, another alternative, if, somehow, the election is postponed, then what? Likely CHAOS. Which actually appears to be the intention of globalists bent on destroying this nation which has served, in the past, as a beacon to the world. Ruin the U.S., and the entire world goes down.
Let each of us do our best to maintain our own equanimity as we head into what are undoubtedly to be exceedingly difficult times.
Let us aim to fill our hearts with the Love that powers the universe, and spread that healing balm into the hearts of those whose minds are closed, thereby subverting and transforming whatever nasty intention they have been programmed into.
