During the election results last night, I watched a combination of my local television station and MSNBC for news of the election.
Of course, I was overjoyed with the Democratic party’s sweep
of the elections around the country. As I casually listened to the commentators
mentioning what they thought of the election results, I heard the transgender
word mentioned not once but twice. As a group, we were mentioned about how much
resources the Republican party put into their campaign lying about trans women
and men. They said, the Republicans put fifty seven percent of their resources spreading
lies about the trans community and dodging the issues which really mattered.
From experience with the elections here in Ohio, I knew the percentage
was high, but not that much. The incumbent Democratic senator Sherrod Brown was
slaughtered with mistruths about the LGBTQ community by the Republican convicted
crook Bernie Moreno. Now, Brown is running again against a tRumpt rubber
stamped spineless candidate Husted, who is already spreading lies in his
campaign.
Regardless of the talk about all the resources the
Republicans spent to smear a very small part of the population, the best news
was that the tide has began to change, As far as last night’s elections were
concerned. Things in the country have gotten so bad under the orange felon that
people are seemingly being forced to look at the real issues. Instead of the worn-out
idea that transgender ideals are being forced upon your kids.
Locally, in my school district all the Republicans were not
elected again and were replaced by an all-Democratic slate of candidates. So
maybe now, the school board will not come out against LGBTQ friendly activities
in the schools.
Before you think I am being overly optimistic that the tide
is beginning to change, perhaps I am because we are fighting an uphill battle
here in Ohio for next year’s governor race. tRumpt and Musk backed Vivek Ganapathy Ramaswamy is
running against Democrat Amy Acton for governor who I fear is not the strongest
candidate. Her biggest drawback is she
forced these idiots in Ohio to wear masks during Covid, and of course she is a
woman. Imagine that a ciswoman battling a Hindu for Ohio’s top government seat.
The evangelicals won’t know who to preach for.
Maybe, just
maybe, it is time to have a little hope for our countries’ future once the orange
Russian asset goes away. Another comment the panel of journalists made last
night was the populace may be getting tired of the daily turmoil we feel and is
ready for a change.
I know I am and
am very tired of worrying about what is going to happen next when I go to bed every
night. Last night I thought the light at the end of the tunnel was not the
train. One thing is for sure, no matter if you are a lesbian or gay person, or a cross dresser wondering about your future as a transgender person, you better pay attention to the next major election because tRumpt and his minions are coming after you,
