I thought there was going to be a Blue Wave with an early election result by 10 PM after the Democrats beat GOP by winning Florida, North Carolina, and Georgia early.
This morning I am trying to
1- process what happened,
2-why it happened and
3- how do I need to change my bias.
I had a fantasy dream wish of the DEMS winning the Senate.
The wishful thinking was dashed when Mitch McConnell (Ky) and Lindsey Graham won their seats easily.
I believed the polls that these races would be much closer. I was appalled by Graham's change of heart about his opinion of Trump and both of them forcing the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court so close to the election when they prevented Obama from getting his candidate into the court a year before the election.
It's all about Power Politics now.
I went to bed around midnight eastern time.
Later I checked my phone and was surprised Trump won Florida.
I realized then it was very possible Trump might win which again crushed my vision of not only Biden winning but winning with control of the senate.
How did this happen?
Clearly, the GOP had a surge of voters similar to the DEMS.
How can so many people vote for Trump when he lies so much and has not taken early actions to lower the deaths of Covid19.
McConnell always had his eye on control of the Supreme court.
For many voters, this superseded concerns about the personal behavior of Trump concerning his taxes, his finance, his affairs, his relation to Putin just to name a few.
I think White America is concerned about opening the border to immigrants and the Black Lives Matter movement.
They also want to protect their guns and reverse Roe vs. Wade.
They share the concern of Cubans and Venazulians that Biden will bring socialism to the USA.
Much of that is propaganda and miss information.
This morning at 10 AM central time Steve Kornacki says that Biden must win the states he is leading in: Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, and Wisconsin must be won, and then Biden may win enough votes in Maine to get to win the electoral college.
We won't know the results of Nevada till tomorrow and PA may take longer.
The good side of counting the votes taking so long makes me feel it will be more difficult for Trump to dispute the results.
Also if Trump wins I think I and other Dems just have to accept it.
The Dems almost won in Texas. Next time the Dems will win in Texas. It is only a matter of time that the Demographic chips will be cashed in by the DEMS.
Why has there been such a division in this country?
Trump is no longer a one-off.
He clearly represents the hopes and needs of many people in this country who feel they have been ignored and called the "deplorables".
This elitist superiority against the non-college-educated followers of Trump may be as bad as Trump's call to racism and fascism.
This needs to stop on both sides.
I was shocked by how many people have voted for Trump.
But it is the reality and I realized I need to be much more tolerant of the intolerant in both parties.
I hope Biden is elected as he will bring the country together and truly take care of the forgotten man in the USA.
