They Are Scared [View all]

"Fear is ugly because it makes you irrational. Fear makes you jump to conclusions. Fear makes you reactionary." -- David Heinemeier Hansson

"Men feared witches and burnt women." -- Louis D. Brandeis


In the closing week of this presidential contest, I have had the opportunity to communicate with old friends and relatives -- including with a couple that are sadly in the maga cult. Among the Democrats, there is primarily confidence, though there is a bit of anxiety and frustration. But both of the sociopathic felon's followers display the classic and very unattractive features associated with fear.

People who are not afraid do not try to set fires in ballot boxes.

I got a letter from the County Board of Elections today. It read, in part, that they received my mail-in ballot, and "upon receipt, for both envelopes, the mailing envelope and the mailin , there appears to be some tampering where the enveloped were sealed. Both envelopes seem to have been opened and then taped to reseal them.

I live in a majority republican county. Independents are the next largest group, followed by Democrats. So I'm pleased that those CBE are honest, and sent me another ballot. And it is already in the mail.

I spoke with a lot of relatives and friends today. They go from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean, and lots of places in between. All are Democrats, and have ben politically active for many, many years. One aunt was Rep. Matt McHugh's top aide back in the day (1975 through 1993). Districts are different today, but I am happy that it appears like Josh Riley will beat Rep. Marc Molinaro in their rematch in the 19th.
