Time to Circle the Wagons

~ MaryG

Welp, that’s that.

I am devastated, but I’m going to try to get over it quicker than in 2016. My conscience is clear. I didn’t sit on the sidelines. I did what I could to try to defeat Trump—marching, calling, writing, donating, posting, rallying, protesting, singing, voting.

For years…years…we did all that stuff.

But Trump won a second term anyway – fair and square. American voters chose a senile pervert and felon over a perfectly good female candidate (again).

It’s time to circle the wagons and focus mainly on my own family. I plan to devote my time and resources primarily to them. I have so many cute pictures of my granddaughter in my phone. If I get down, I’ll just look at them. I am too old to be angry about Trump for another four years. By the time my granddaughter gets to kindergarten, he’ll be out of office. In fact, I’m going to try not to use his name in my blog anymore.

Maybe I’ll get involved again if they try for a National Abortion Ban. Otherwise, I’m just going to huddle up here with my loved ones in Massachusetts, where we will (hopefully) be relatively safe.

  1. Applauding your gallant efforts, Mary, and those of a great many others too. I respect your decision to make family a priority moving forward. Seems Trump is very adept at stoking the fears of others that garners votes, but sooner or later a well qualified female president will be elected in our country.

      1. Thank you, thank you. I have been teary eyed for the past two days. Not sure how long it will take me to recover.

        Give that darling baby a kiss for me. How wonderful to have new life in the family.
