When Biden stepped down, at first I thought all was lost. But then Kamala Harris came right out of the gate, with so much enthusiasm and heart that I thought we had a good chance with her. I was excited by her campaign and looked forward to voting for her. I was so disheartened, disappointed and disgusted when DJT won the election. I couldn't believe it.

I realize we live in a racist, sexist country but I thought enough people saw DJT for who and what he really was (and is to this day). Especially after his first four years! Who the hell thought he would be any better this time? Who?

I really and truly believe something went down. For him to win EVERY swing state? After he stood at podiums and babbled gibberish as people were leaving his rallies in droves while Kamala Harris was filling every seat with overflows at every campaign rally she held? When I heard him say "We have the votes" and then he did that jerky, arm-bending movement he calls "dancing" for the rest of the rally, I knew something was up.
