Scary Things

A police car set aflame by a peaceful protester.

Some people are true independents. For example, they may think the show "Hamilton" stinks and only made it big because most of the the cast is black and Founding Father George Washington is portrayed as a black man and, well, if you don't love it then you must be a racist. After all, it's the least you can do.

They also may like Senator Susan Collins and possibly voted for Ross Perot twice and also sent money to the Obama campaign and loved George W. Bush and worked as a staff member of the Democratic National Committee. Yes, there are people like that.

Anyway, as a registered Independent who did not vote for Trump in 2016, I might have to this time just so America does not go up in flames from fires set by all those "peaceful" protesters armed with slingshots, explosive devices, rocks, clubs, stones, gasoline and the occasional pistol. Now who goes around with all that stuff if their plans are to protest peacefully? Lunatics, that's who. And I may be a baby, but I find them scary. Even scarier are those Democrats who, in their blind hatred for Donald Trump, consider the arrival of government aid in the form of boots on the ground aimed at halting the violence and preventing more to be the onset of "martial law."

Also scary is the recent attack by a great white shark here in Maine that killed a woman visiting from New York City. And Covid-19. And very high temperatures breaking records everywhere. And thunderstorms. And of course poisonous spiders, snakes, varicose veins and getting too fat for your clothes. (Actually, my clothes.) But I can't vote against any of those things and I can vote against the Democrats. After all, it's the least I can do.
