I still do not fully understand the American voting system but we are very worried about the outcome. Last night we watched the final of the documentary "The Trump Show". Recent news items have also been quite scary - Trump supporters surrounding the Biden campaign bus and then Trump saying they did nothing wrong and the sight of so many people who think Trump is some sort of God.
We have also been following the blog Octoberfarm.
The election is not until tomorrow, 4th November, our time and we will be thinking of all American's and in particular fellow bloggers. I have borrowed the following from Octoberfarm
I am very anxious, Susan. He will do everything legal, illegal, and immoral to win. This is no ordinary American election.
ReplyDeleteI do not believe that he had Covid as he has lied about everything.
We agree with you, Arleen. There will be trouble whoever wins officially. Do stay safe.
DeleteThe election has been going on for weeks. I voted September 27. Tomorrow Is just the LAST day to vote. My state already has 90 percent of the last major election vote recorded, before tomorrow's in person voting. There is massive turnout. I'm hoping this is a sign of change, but if he loses, he will do as much damage as he can before January.
ReplyDeleteThis is the worrying part, he will not concede. I hope for all your sakes that it doesn't end in civil war.
DeleteAlthough the voting ends tomorrow, they have to wait so long for the final result, and that could be juggled around to suit D.T. I do not trust anything over there and think of all my blog and other friends who live in the turmoil and disaster. We are so fortunate to be in NZ.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree with you, Jean, we lucky to live here. I can't help worrying about people in America though.
DeleteSometimes I find it hard to cope.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine you would. Who would have thought America could come to this.
DeleteI was reminded yesterday that I'd made a €5 bet with Kimbo on the outcome. I think I'm about to lose.... what on earth made me put my money on Trump. I suppose Kimbo had already chosen the alternative!
ReplyDeleteI do hope you lose but Trump intends to be like his good mate Putin and stay there forever. Heaven help us.
DeleteWe can all hope that Trump is very, very resoundingly defeated. It is sad that out of a population of 330 millions of people, Biden is the best alternative they have to offer.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure how these things are decided over there but it does seem odd that there is no-one else.
DeleteWe have been following their election shenanigans too, I'm just glad we live here in NZ.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am so glad it was New Zealand I came to all those years ago.
DeleteThank you for the well-wishes, Susan. May good sense prevail!
