7. In spite of myself...

Thu Sep 28, 2023, 08:42 AM

Sep 2023

I’m getting myself mentally prepared for a non-Democratic takeover. Do I think it will happen? I hope not and have a belief that the outcome will be a Democratic win. It’s not…at this point…an unwavering belief so I find that a bit of preparation is a necessity.

If the coup gets to its completion and we are forced into a MAGA government…I for one will not recognize the legitimacy of that administration.
Exactly what that means and what actions it will entail will be decided at that time. I sincerely hope that it doesn’t come to that.

I realize that justice is a slow fine grind but dusk is upon us.
