Anguish

The past year has witnessed a great preponderance of lucky breaks for Trump, most recently in his coming out of an attempted assassination bloody but unharmed. Biden’s pronounced cognitive decline and his denial of it have been a gift to Trump from “the Almighty.” The right-wing controlling majority of justices on the Supreme Court went full MAGA to devastating effect. The Trump-loyalist judge assigned to preside over the classified documents prosecution brazenly dismissed the case in defiance of established precedents. The falling-in-line behind Trump by virtually all Republicans contrasts with the agonizing split among Democrats as to whether Biden should be supported or urged to withdraw his candidacy. Anguish is how any person of good will must feel about the upcoming presidential election.
