It's so easy to get depressed about the way things are going in this country. I can't believe that a full 42% of Americans have a "favorable" view of Donald Trump. It makes me sad, as much as it made me sad to hear my countrymen dismissively say things like, "If Trump thought he was a king there wouldn't be any No Kings protests." Don't these people ever stop to reflect on tea in the Boston harbor and why we don't speak with a British accent?
Well, I do. I believe in Madisonian democracy. I follow elections. I work campaigns.
On Tuesday November 4, my efforts were rewarded. The judges I supported were retained by the good people of Pennsylvania. It was very satisfying.
I want to give a shout out to Postcards to Swing States and Postcards to Voters. They have given me a way to serve and make myself heard. All it takes is time, stamps, and the willingness to contribute.
This matters. Not only to my country but to my peace of mind.
Honestly, I used to write postcards and support mostly Democrats, but then I took a hard look at what the Dems really stand for and I don't agree with or support any of it. I am not sure that I can every vote for a Democrat again. I am talking about things like abortion, same-sex marriage and gender ideology. They just do not represent me. No, I am not a "Trumper." I like some things he has done and others not so much. I am not a die-hard MAGA voter. I don't know what the future will hold for our country, but I do know, at least for now, the Right represents me personally more than the left. You do not have to publish to comment because I know you don't agree with it. I commend you for standing up for your beliefs and doing what you think is right.
