The Election
Words don’t do justice to how dissapointed I am in my fellow citizens.
I fear for many, but in particular, for my immigrant wife and non-white children.
America elected the first convicted felon to serve as president of the United States. Trump - the twice-impeached, multiply indicted, once-defeated former president overcame 34 felony convictions, 88 criminal charges, accusations of insurrection as part of his attempt to overturn the 2020 election, civil lawsuit judgments totaling more than a half-billion dollars, allegations by his entire first-term cabinet that he's unfit to serve, his openly fascist intentions, the overturning of Roe v. Wade, his failed response to the Covid-19 pandemic that led to more than 400,000 deaths from a virus he repeatedly claimed was going to disappear, his repeated overt acts of racism, at least 26 public accusations of rape, kissing, and groping without consent, his promises to prosecute his political opponents, and the threats encapsulated by the Project 2025 agenda - to become the nation's 47th president. Trump is the second president - and the first since Grover Cleveland in the 19th century - to retake the White House after a reelection defeat. And, at the age of 78, Trump is the oldest man ever elected president - breaking a record held by Biden, whose mental competence Trump repeatedly savaged.
