I voted GOP straight ticket here in Vermont -- hopeless anyway, but still... national mandate and all that -- it will be my first actual vote for Trump -- first time I was a Bernie Bro-- lol! can you imagine?!? Boy, was I stupid....then the 2nd time Covid demoralized me and I didn't vote at all -- why bother in Vermont? Hardly even any Republicans ON the ballot! But this time "I'm vote Red, no matter who"...and then for 2025 --

--- I'm moving to Texas, where they have actual laws and the police to enforce them, at least try. State prosecutors won't even put anyone in jail until they murder someone -- 300 "encounters" with police for violent assault results only in a "letter to please come back for sentencing" ... Our local prosecutor DROVE DRUNK to the scene of a murder (unsolved -- another one, like the poor woman in Castleton, murdered on the bike path, probably by drug dealers, her schizophrenic son (high on super Ganja,) or an errant hunter...

--Vermont has just gone crazy, the whole state .... nasty, drug addled homeless people have taken over my "cute" little old village (Town Manager "doesn't know what to do!") and they don't even have laws on the books to shift the homeless tent city down the road -- so they homeless bums refuse to go to the shelter and urinate and defecate on the back steps of the library, and exposed themselves to the librarians through the window...("We don't know what to dooo! We can't punish people for not having a hoouussee!") Town business leaders and real estate brokers are BEGGING the town to DO SOMETHING, but alas -- the answer, it seems, is Federal money.....but nevere enough of that...

... ah well, I could go on, about how Vermont has banned gas cars, and is trying to eliminate oil and gas heat, raising property taxes 15% a year, legalized marijuana (zombie skunks everywhere!), lowered the speed limits to 25-35 mph everywhere (because of the skunk zombies driving around stoned) and are trying to legalize PROSTITUTION! Omg, I've had enough. My only hope is for Trump to win and some hysterical frightened NYC lunatic with too much money to come here and overpay for my little old house....in the "Safe Space" of Vermont --

Why can't I get over the suspicion that all this talk about the Dems crashing and burning is somehow part of a plan to be the biggest mind-fuck yet, in the hope that the "shock and awe" of the Dems pulling it out against all expectations will be enough to trigger the "insurrection" that will justify the imposition of martial law, state of emergency, etc.?
