You’ve heard of the Cajun Navy?
I can’t write about the election today. My gut feeling that my preferred candidate would lose came true. I will say that, like many other liberal elites sane people who can do critical thinking, I was pretty devastated when my prediction came true. But oh man, what a day 🤣
Morning was basically nutso as the Michigan version of the Cajun Navy mobilized here at the Landfill for a trip to Asheville. Yes, the North Carolina city that was devastated by Hurricane Helene. Long story why they are going there. They did not take a bote although between the FinFam and the cFam, we own plenty of botes. But botes are not really needed in Asheville. Instead, they took chainsaws and other tools and clothing donations, etc. In fact, they went OUT the door, then the GG came back *in* to ask me if I had anything for the “good will”. Well, yes, I do, but I am in a meeting and I can’t organize it in 30 seconds. Why didn’t you ask me last weekend?
I will thank the MAGAt Twinz of Terror (who WELL KNOW what I think about Trump) for treating me kindly and not jeering at me or rubbing my face in Kamala’s defeat. Or calling her names, although the GG did do that on a cFam group text thread. A third brother also stopped by to drop off some donations but last I knew he is not a MAGAt. (Families are complicated.) The Twinz went out for breakfast before beginning their trip. I had intended to accompany them but I needed space. It’ll be fine, everybody says. It’d be fine if y’all weren’t in the Trump Cult! And make no mistake, it *is* a cult. It is NOT the Republican party that many of us grew up with.
After the chaos of packing stuff (the GG had sooooo much stuff), it was calm here but the rest of my day was spent being totally unable to focus on my job. And then since it is STILL warm here, a whine in the back yard watching the waxing crescent moon traverse the sky. Sorry ’bout the power line.
More on the election (probably) as I process the soup that’s in my database aka brain.

Definitely a cult. If a different candidate did or said even a few of the things that Trump has done, he or she would be automatically eliminated. The former GOP, now MAGA, worked across the aisle, believed in fiscal responsibility, healthy business and cared about this country and its citizens. Or they appeared to anyway. MAGA doesn’t have any of those finer qualities. We’re in for a rough time.
