I'm watching the Trump "I won" campaign with about a fourth of my brain…which is a very small portion of brain indeed. I can't see him remaining in office but I'm curious as to what's going on here. Does the guy really believe there's a way to prove the votes were miscounted and he truly got more?
Or is he just positioning himself to get donations from his supporters and to position himself as not a loser but a winner who was cheated out of his win and therefore deserves to be a powerful political force out of office? (And then, when he gets indicted, it's all a hoax to bring him down, fabricated by those who know he's still the most powerful man in the world.)
Or maybe he's just out of his mind and is barking orders without a real plan. I've seen people in power do that.
I think I'll try to pay very little attention to this over the next few days. Better to do that and then mentally check in later to see how it all played out.
Dr. Fauci is optimistic we'll all be getting vaccinated around next April. Well, we won't all be getting vaccinated. We don't all get vaccinated for anything these days and there will doubtlessly be many who'll resist, claiming all sorts of reasons including the safety of that particular vaccine and, of course, the fact that there was never any such thing as COVID-19 so why do they need a vaccination?
So what happens then when some of us have had the shot and some of us haven't? Will stores and events say that no one is admitted without proof of vaccination? Will there be a little card to prove it and you'll have to show it to get into Costco or go to a show?
There are people now who are furious that they can't go into some stores or get on an airplane without a piece of cloth on their faces. How will they feel if they can't do what they want to do without getting an injection of something they've decided is a poison or a cure for which there is no known disease? I'm not looking forward to this.
