One Day More-Please vote BLUE

I raised my family in a pretty conservative leaning town.  When my kids were in middle and high school (2002-2013 years) we would record comedy shows like SNL and allow them to watch these circumstancially after a full vetting .   My son, who is now over 30 had a few friends and in particular one mom who told us she would not allow her son to visit our home if they watched SNL.   I guess we were considered the "Liberals" in town although we were much stricter about partying and inappropriate risky behaviors.  

Since this time my kids have grown up and moved out.  I still live in a conservative leaning town.  I have not changed and suspect these same neighbors would react the same today.  One thing that has changed is the age of Trumpism.  These folks watch shows like Fox News and welcome what is said as being Patriotic.  They welcome vile language in defense of their president.   In a reverse world I would not allow my kids to watch Fox News or the right wing shows they watch on their TVs. 

These same so called conservatives suddenly are blind to trumps rhetoric and illicit behavior.  They witness his constant lies, misinformation and obscenities.  They are complicit to his bullying and the encouragement of violence or terroristic tactics of his opponents.  Some say they are happy about the economy but they don't like what he says.  It is sad that they value their personal wealth over ethics.  

This past Saturday night I watched SNL with my son who now lives in NY.  He has been staying with us since the start of the pandemic.  The last skit was a New York Musical taking place in a Times Square souvenir shop.  


This was a very clever sketch and made me pray for the last song in the skit which is the title of this blog post.  

Please vote BLUE tomorrow and lets all say ONE DAY MORE.  Lets end this now.  If you run into any problems with voting please call the hotline.
