National Elections and the Emotions

Elections are an emotional and a stressful time for all voters.   Especially in these days, commentators are often.   laboring the point that Millennials are particularly fragile—which I'm not sure about—and resentful towards Baby Boomers, which is justified.  Even I stay at home, doing nothing, and you must think, she must be rich!  Actually I have some savings from having worked some years, and from my family, and I live very frugally, in a miniscule home. 

Getting back to keeping cheerful during elections—which really is the topic I want to write about.  I'm so confronted with the mental incompetence of my fellow citizens that I feel as if I'm this close to going postal, as they used to say in the 80s.

I prepare for the worst.  If the 2020 elections are any guide, the MAGA crowd will go berserk with accusations of conspiracies and election fraud.  (There probably is no election method that will satisfy the Republicans as to its security.)

But there is always the possibility that the Democrats will win across the board!  Only the mainline MAGA crowd likes what's going on in the GOP Convention.
