Tea With Me: 10th November, 2024
Sunday
So five days after, I am finding ground. Temps are climbing from the teens to the 40s and the crystal snow billow blanket is dissolving. I can see ground again. Still wakening in the night to the swirl of cluster anxieties. Familiar this affect. I had it for four years starting in 2016. I am nine years older and somewhat the wiser, I hope. But damn, did I hit a wall of “Oh shit, my grip is gone” two days ago.
Eldest daughter called two days ago boomeranging my pocket dial the other day. She has historically declared not interested in politics for mental health reasons. I do understand this posture and not surprised that my offspring at her stage of life be unplugged from the cesspool of politics in the last ten years especially given that I didn’t really focus at that same stage of life because I was busy with life the way she is.
I have not heaped her with the mountains of Creature condemning events in the last five years. I am sensitive to her emotional tolerance limit for them. I have been unfortunately banking on I would not have to inform her of the potential for national and global damage of another Creature Term because in my bubble of Hope for sane, secure bipartisan leadership to seamlessly continue with a Harris Presidency, I felt it would be a mute point certainly if Harris had been elected. And then the Creature would have slithered back to the Mara Lago Swamp.
But that Hope died sharply Wednesday. I have fought it as I have written by imaginings of Intelligence Agencies finding more proof of the Creature’s Election meddling, that Harris would stand up an Prosecute the imagined revealed fraudulent votes and all sorts of other hand holds as I have accepted the inevitabilty of the Well of Despair I must journey down now.
My Despair is not for my future but for my children’s political inheritance that inevitably will shape their World.
That phone call with eldest two days ago pushed me beyond my capacity to absorb the very real information she was trying to offer me about the reality of her peer community and how they have processed thier choices this election. She told me many in her peer community, highly educated, largely working in environmental and educational fields, had voted for Turmp. As I listened to this which was being offered in an “Oh Mom, it really isn’t that bad. Stop being hysterical” tone, I was so severely triggered I lost my capacity to listen any longer and spat at her, “So respectful of you to dismiss your brilliant and highly engaged and informed mother about things you admittedly have no working knowledge about.” And hung up the phone.
I am certain that the Creature won the Votes of many young, higherly educated, who are too busy navigating life to have had the time or the inclination to really watch the reality of who and what the Creature truly is. That they, from intelligent perspecitves cannot believe the Creature to be the carrier of all the potential damage he has spouted on the campaign trail, chalking it up to their rational analysis that of course he cannot be that Crazy. And that they couldn’t take the time to really assimilate the Biden Administration’s successful rollback of all the damage the Creature had started trolling in his first term which had not been bullhorned louder in the last three years than all the indictments and the ensuing trials relative to the creature’s crimes while in and out of office. All they were aware of was how crazy it all seems.
They didn’t want to know it. They didn’t take it seriously. Their moral compasses are intact but their capacity to tolerate the total alternate reality the Creature constantly spins to keep his lesser educated base in tow seems absolutely laughable to them. What they see is their uphill climb to buy a house, pay their taxes, for some its current immigration chaos, for some its current groceries and gas sky high prices,for some its that inflation skyrocketed although in sharp descent now. And of course the current Oval Office and their agenda is the blame target as it always is for every Fucking Presidency.
The Carry Over Concept is not quite in their wheelhouse yet. The Creature’s early term economic success was riding Obama’s economic coat tails. And this time the Creature, if Elon Musk doesn’t teardown the economic house, will ride the lingering affect of Biden’s decades long experienced bipartisan workover the last 3 and a half years repairing the affect of the Creature’s first term economic failures. We have the beginnings of the best US Economy in 50 years which if continued will give all those who can’t see those Woods for the Trees a fighting chance.
Covid hit the World Economy in March of 2020 just as Creature’s road on Obama’s Economy ran out. And the Economy collapsed. The Creature was terrified of acknowledging the life threatening potential of the virus for months. He squelched the medical advice by Fauci and other World respected Virologists because of his concern about the 2020 reelection. He told the country to inject bleach. Jesus. His last weeks in office after the 2020 election weren’t concerned with how to keep more Americans alive.
No, along with planning Stop The Steal Efforts, he sent Putin Covid tests kits before they were publicly available. Putin told him not to announce he had done this because Putin was concerned for the bad reflection on his Creature Puppet.
In those weeks following the 2020 election ratcheting up his totally self absorbed need never to be a loser, the Creature called Brad Raffensberger and asked him to forge 11,000 votes so he could manipulate election results in his favor and the Idiot was recorded doing it.
He was involved in placing false electors in States who would not ceritfy the Election results.
He was invisible as the Americans sequestered in their homes and fell in the 100 thousands to Covid’s Sickle.
And January 6th.
He perpetrated an Insurrection while in office as the 45th Presdent of the United States of America.
Shit, its so hard not to digress.
Well, any of you who are still reading more than likely do not need to read a retelling of all the crimes our 47th President Elect has been indicted for and convicted of.
How could this election reflect the majority opinion of American voters? Were my daughter’s peers the deliverers of this horrific outcome.
Turns out they weren’t. I finally looked up the numbers this am
Harris Voters, Democrat: 70,964,692
Trump Voters, Republican: 74,686,551
Stein Voters, Green: 698,980
RFK, Jr Voters, Independent: 677,065
Chase Oliver, Libertarian: 608,564
Other Candidates: 354,820
Total Votes cast in 2024: 147,990,672
Eleigible Votes not cast-13,432,328
Total Eligible Voters: 161,420,00
Total Population of the United States: 334,900,00
So Total Population minus Eligible Voters: 334,900,000- 161,420,00= 173,480,000
What this means:
1. Less than 50% of our population is Eligible to Vote.
2. Trump was only elected by less than 50% of our Eligible Voters
3. Trump was elected by less than 25% of our population.
4. Close to 13.5 million Eligible voters did not bother to Vote.
I love my Eldest. I respect her enormously and feel as proud of her as a parent can possibly be.
I was not ready to hear why some of her peer community deemed the Creature a better option than Harris. But as you can see they didn’t really impact this outcome.
Taken two days for me to calm down. I absolutely Hate feeling friction with my daughters. Hate it.
So this morning’s further dive into the numbers reveal this.
The Rage of the ten months of the pandemic brought 10.3 million more Voters out for Biden than for Harris in 2024.
Biden 2020: 81,283,501
Harris 2024: 70,964,692
10,318,809 didn’t vote in 2024
So lets look at Trump
Trump 2020: 74,223,975
Trump 2024: 74,686,551
462,575 more Trump votes in 2024 than 2020
Trump really didn’t make a dent in the non Trump voting block.
It was the 10.3 million who didn’t come for Harris.
So why didn’t those 10.3 million 2020 Biden Voters come for Harris in 2024? Gaza? Ukraine? Economy? Immigration? Mysogyny? Racism? Did they die?
Or just the US Voter malaise that happens when things are somewhat copacetic. Thank you, Joe Biden, for making us comfortable enough for 10.3 million to take their Vote Marbles out of this very dangerous game.
You 10.3 million would have made a HUGE Fucking difference.
Whats it going to take for the US citizenry to grip the Right that defines them as US Citizens- the Right to Vote?
I pray to every Guiding Spirit Humanity has ever conceived of that we will have another Election. The Creature has promised 2024 is the Last.
This morning my Sky was defiantly RED.
Tea was Black Creamed and Manukaed
