When I was out shopping the other day, a woman bumped into me, or I bumped into her. We both apologized and smiled at one another. It was a friendly interaction. Afterward, though, I couldn’t help but wonder if she was a Trump supporter. Statistically it’s not unlikely. If she were, and if she had known that I was not, would she have told me to watch where I was going, called me names, or spit on me? That’s the kind of behavior I expect from Trumpers.
That’s why I’m so terrified that he will be reelected. He is a horrible person. His horrible behavior is spreading, and those of us who do not support him are so horrified by what he’s doing to our country that we are beginning to distrust everyone. He’s not MAGA. He’s MAHN: Making America Horrible Now.
I can’t make any promises about my own behavior, because I’m so angry and depressed. If there is such a thing as an aura, mine is getting darker by the day. It’s hard to stay positive when every day brings bad news.
But, just as I resist his horrible agenda, I will try to resist the contagion of his horrible behavior. I will try to be nice to everyone. I will try not to let any horribleness spread on my account. I will try to stand up for what’s right without hurting the people who have been duped into supporting what’s wrong. I will try, and I will try, and I will try. That is all I can do for now.
