The Great American Nightmare began on November 8, 2016, when a whole lot of idiots fell for the colorful, racist and nationalist rhetoric of Donald Trump, electing him president.
Back then, I had already envisioned the June 6, 2021 Coup attempt to overthrow our Democracy by Trump and his cronies. For more than four years, we had to endure this dangerous head of state, whose goal was to become another Hitler, Franco, Pol Pot or Putin.
Life wasn’t good then; it was downright spooky. When in early March 2020, Covid-19 was declared a pandemic, it was just another cross to bear in addition to Trump’s terrible leadership.
Liberation from most of our burdens, began on November 3, 2020 when Biden was elected and it’s only after he was sworn-in that we were secured in having gotten rid of Trump, the man responsible for at least 360,000 deaths from the pandemic.
After that, vaccinations began in earnest, the June Coup was thwarted, and we began to see the light out of the pandemic.
This is when I realized that all the anxiety caused to the Nation by Trump, largely eclipsed that caused by the pandemic itself, in spite of all of the suffering it caused and the excessive number of victims it made.
