The Anxiety Continues

January 4th and the election concern continues:

I know the Georgia Senate election is tomorrow and the Electoral College results go to Congress and there are bloggers and journalists and analysts and such who are telling me not to worry it is all wrapped up... BUT....

I've had my share of talking heads tell me that Trump wouldn't get elected... or that he wouldn't attack our institutions successfully... or that the world order wouldn't change much... or that Iraq would be all wrapped up in six months....

The point is that I don't take consensus conventional wisdom as a cure for anxiety.

Donald Trump dismissed our Pandemic Taskforce and a not small number of my friends and family legitimately believe all the worlds scientists, doctors, and nations... as well as a million dead... all conspired with a fictional disease to make their Game Show President look bad.  That is some STRONG bullshit right there.  

A man all hopped up on Internet Bullshit suicide bombed Tennessee....  a man all hopped up on Internet Bullshit sabotaged a batch of vaccines... a woman all hopped up on Internet Bullshit kidnapped her child out of care....

A president all hopped up on Internet Bullshit just asked an official to create false votes for him... 

It wasn't long ago I witnessed the U.S. Senate heard a sitting President ask a foreign leader who was asking for American Arms to fight Russian Aggressors "For a favor, though" and that favor was to announce an investigations into his political rival.... and that Senate could not conclude that was an abuse of power.

If that isn't an abuse of power, what is?

So I have no confidence that those Senators will all respect the constitution, or the will of the people, or their oath of office or whatever. I no longer rest safe on their honor.

So I'm worried about the next 14 days.  I'm worried about the pandemic, I'm worried about jobs and work and opportunity and a million other things and I'm most worried that our addiction to Internet Bullshit is throwing a wrench or several in every single serious undertaking that needs to be done to keep the wheels spinning, the lights on, the mouths fed, and so on.
