9. I know it's not really

My immediate problem, but this is extremely worrying.

Last election cycle, around the time of the Democratic convention I had a disturbing thought as I watched. The Democrats were soldiering on just like any other election. Using the same formula, the same hype the same talking points. Don't get me wrong - I adore Kamala and hoped against hope that she would win, but an uneasy feeling told me that somehow they were playing - 'the old game' - and I have no other name for it.

Jan 6 changed everything. It showed that trump and his cronies would stop at absolutely nothing to cling to power. My only comfort was that Joe was in charge and surely they would be on top of it.

Needless to say, I truly believe the election was rigged. It's not universally popular to say this, but there's a mounting pile of evidence to this effect. Maybe I had a premonition - maybe something else, but it ended up being true.
