The MAGA Magoos are in denial about the COVID virus' contagion

(Sorry, I don’t use the term MAGAt). The Corona virus has no politics and doesn’t care what QAnon says or if Donnie is still in the White House.

I fear that some people are going to learn hard lessons the same way their lateral ancestors learned about Yellow Fever, Cholera, and Smallpox. Unfortunately they can spread it to the rest of us.

And their ailing friends and loved ones can say: “Oh, Magoo! You’ve done it again!“

Some people vote for the guy they think is the most popular

It’s a habit that all too many people form in primary school: they’ll vote for the guy they think is the most popular because he’s popular and they think it will make them popular too, whether or not Mr. Popularity will be good to them or not. I’m afraid that it’s a trait all too deeply ingrained into our primate psychology, and that too many people resort to the idea first rather than doing a little cogitation before they vote.

When a man shows you who he really is, believe him

This life lesson remains true even if right-wingers don’t like Maya Angelou.

One of the things I'm looking forward to discovering after this election is just how "fired up"

the Republican voters were in Texas this year. Were they all really ready to come out and strike a blow against us Devil-horned and cloven-hoofed “Libruls” or did they decide that they wouldn’t have to work that hard this go-round?

I think it’s likely that the long-foreseen but never actualized Blue Wave may finally have happened, but we won’t know until the Lone Star State’s votes are counted.
