I Drank Too Much Wine Last Night


Well, not so much that I had a headache this morning…  

3 small glasses is a lot for my never very alcohol tolerant genetics…


Stress drinking…  


WTF…


How did We, as in “we the United States of America,” get to a point of de-evolution towards the 1950s?  


What is clear is that the Republicans have been doing an excellent job of political maneuvering, working together, while the Democrats have been squabbling amongst themselves, overall losing at almost every turn…  


Now We, as in “we liberal-type thinkers,” will be paying the price…  


Between legal changes toward voter suppression, packing the Supreme Court, and The Electoral College, minority rule is likely to prevail, likely for the rest of my lifetime, if not my kids’ and grandkids’ lifetimes…  


Of course, me and my wife, and my kids, financially at least, will be pretty much OK…  


It is the poor who will suffer the most…  


Roe v Wade decreased abortions, made abortions safer, and allowed people the choice to decrease untenable financial burden, when another child was not in the plans…  


Not to mention the, in my opinion, the clear moral choice of letting women control their own bodies… 


According to Clarence Thomas, contraception should be the next to go…  


WTF!!!!


So, how do I reconcile, my oft repeated statement that, “Whatever happens, is exactly what needs to occur…”  


I guess I can only come up with what I’ve written before:

Figure out an economically feasible plan to “Provide everyone with basic living conditions, eliminate homelessness, dire poverty, fear for personal and family safety, opportunity for education and economic advancement.”  


The Democrats have to capture the minds and hearts of the everyday person, not just the most downtrodden…  


Then the Democrats can get the votes to overcome this radically conservative agenda at the heart of the Republican agenda...  


I am usually an optimist…  


These days I do not feel so optimistic…  


Namaste
