I can see it now: when it’s all truly over (which could be days or weeks from now), what will we rant, complain and protest about? The Progressives have been in our sights for so long that I can’t even imagine a day of not targeting them for their lies and misrepresentations. Every day my husband has rolled his eyes and clucked his tongue about their deceptions, their commitment to deceive the populace. Their hatefulness has been legion, destroying any hope for balance or fairness. I’ve been steeling myself for months to protect myself from their onslaughts and greed. Their determination to take out Donald Trump (perhaps in more ways than one) is despicable and disgusting.

But I’m worn out.

Preparing myself for their next attack has been exhausting. I’m determined to get back to a life of sanity and normalcy. I am ready to breathe freely again. I’m getting ready to invest my energy in making my shopping lists, writing about ordinary things like orchids blooming and an afternoon fall shower. I want to take my morning walks and simply enjoy the fall colors (even in Florida), getting my dog fixes, and smiling, and waving with genuine joy at the walkers and riders (of bikes and cars) for the awakening day.

It’s true: I am counting on Donald Trump to win the Presidency. I also know that somehow this country will not only survive, but thrive.

And I will continue to celebrate its founding values and the potential of the days ahead.

What a great country we live in.

    I tend to be remarkably resourceful with such things...

    You and me both.

    I want to be able to watch football without the annoying political ads. Even the most annoying pre-Thanksgiving Christmas ads are better than political advertising.

    The number one takeaway from the ads is this: Don't vote for the black-and-white candidate. The lack of chroma seems to be America's number one indicator of shadiness.

    There will be more lies and misrepresentations after the election.

    Tyranny never sleeps.

    I'm sure it will continue, but I hope it's at a lesser volume. Please.

    I for one will be refocusing my energy on ridding TV of insurance and drug ads. I do believe if we got rid of those, we could go back to 4 national channels with a couple of local access (depending on your location).
