We Voted!

This past Saturday, Andrea and I absconded from the Fortress of Ineptitude to the Leonard Recreation Center here in Greensboro to cast out votes for this year's election.  

Early voting began here in North Carolina on Thursday with 353,166 voters casting their ballots followed by additional 152,373 ballots cast on Friday.  

There was a line at the Leonard Rec Center but not too long. We arrived at site at approximately 10:45 AM and we were outside by around 11:30 AM.  

Yes, I look like Mr. Grumpy Gus but "grumpy" is my resting face. Besides it took us 5 minutes standing outside Leonard to figure out how to take a selfie with both of us in the shot and displaying our "I voted" stickers.  

Which are inverted in the image for some damn reason.  

While we were waiting to vote, the election volunteers would celebrate whenever someone was a first time voter. All the voters praised for being first time voters were young and/or people of color which I think bodes well for Kamala Harris.   

There was at least one identifiable Trump voter, a scrawny old dude standing behind me wearing his "deplorable" cap.  

Back in 2016, Hillary Clinton was making a pitch to appeal to Trump supporters but decried the "small basket of deplorables" referencing those who were hitching their hate filled white supremacy agenda to Trump's campaign.

Clinton was being kind since Trump's own rhetoric made it very easy for hate filled white supremacists to hitch their wagons to Trump and to only say a small group of this supporters were part.  

So Clinton says some of Trump supporters are deplorable racists.

Within hours, pundits were on Fox News screaming that Clinton said ALL of Trump's supporters were deplorable.

And within days, these supporters could buy shirts and caps proudly proclaiming themselves as "deplorable".  

And much like their thin skinned lord and savior, Trump supporters have not let go of that perceived slight from 8 years back.  

Last week, Bret Baier on Fox News tried to catch Kamala Harris in a "deporable" moment by asking if she thought Trump supporters were stupid.  

Harris replied she would NEVER say anything like that about the American people.  

Meanwhile, Trump is calling everyone who is against him as "the enemy within", sick, twisted, really bad people.   

Shawna Presley Vercher ("the Political Fixer") did a deep dive into what we know about the early voting going on in Pennsylvania and Georgia.  Of course she does not have an solid numbers but trends are encouraging for Kamala Harris to date.  

I need that encouragement since various news outlets are breathlessly reporting that polling is super tight right now and the election could go either way.   

Which is STUPID because Donald Trump is Donald Trump, an incredibly STUPID man with NO wisdom, NO intelligence and NO compassion.  

Fuck it! I am less gracious than Kamala Harris:  Trump supporters are STUPID! 

Oh, der fuehrer's latest subject of one of his incoherent ramblings at one of his circle jerk rallies: the size of golf legend Arnold Palmer's penis.

He spent 12 minutes babbling about Palmer's dick size.  

And this guy could be President again? 

I don't know how much more of this I can take.

I voted! What can I do now?

Can I vote again?

OK, I know that's wrong.

Oh, and that goddamn motherfucker is going to be in Greensboro on Tuesday (tomorrow). 

I reckon Mr. Deplorable Hat will be there.
