Politics and Pandemic


So this is my first ever blog as myself. I have a pen name and blog under that name, but not my own name.This is so liberating to write this blog, even posting the picture itself. It is so very nice to just be myself. Tammy, the liberal therapist. The therapist that works with the LGBTQ community, the immigrant community, the alternate religion and alternative relationship community, the most under-served communities in Utah as far as mental health goes.


I am not a Democrat, that is a corrupt party and all about the same donors as 45 and the Republicans which have become so insane lately, that it is hard to believe they were at one time even a political party at all. The cheese slid off their cracker a long time ago, that is for sure. I am for THE PEOPLE. I am a patriot, a believer in the United States Of America and I want it to be protected.


The last three months as an online therapist from home has been rewarding with some delightful clients, while at the same time, just about driving me mad. I was working from home before all of this happened. I have the same tank of gas in my car that I did three months ago and it isn't even half empty. That tells you how much I have been out. I used to watch the news daily until it got to be too much. I quit watching it all the time and it is all about trying to find the balance in this to be informed yet not watching this so much that you do indeed become a paranoid and distraught recluse, an overeating, over-drinking mess, sitting around in pajamas drooling watching the daily news, the news that every story is a "breaking story". It is like a train wreck, which is exactly how this whole presidency has been handled, a train wreck that you can't turn away from, because you can't on God's Green Earth understand just how all of this happened and why NO ONE is doing anything about it, it just keeps on happening the mismanagement, the lies, the idiocy the paybacks to different governors. You feel like it is all surreal as it doesn't feel like this can be happening. Not only is there a deadly virus, you have a bunch of clowns trying to get into a very small car with large red shoes on and a honking horn trying to appear to control it and it is terrifying.


I was a Bernie girl. Straight to the end, both times. All this has proven to me is that no one decent with a sense of integrity that wants to make things any better can ever win the presidential election. You have this choice or this choice, but only if they are the choices that are chosen for you. I will vote for Biden, as that is the only rational alternative to the other option which is having another four years of the emperor with no clothes on, that no will tell him he has no clothes on that can't even speak the English language at an adult level and thinks you can cure a virus by using disinfectants.


"Give them some bleach to swallow? Yes I am right on that sir, we will start some testing on people right away."


That is just too scary for me. I keep hoping I will wake up and this will be only the Bush administration where I can hate from a distance and he can speak the English language a little bit. He and his administration just had war crimes. The current administration has somehow that no one can seem to understand how or can't seem to stop, has just about destroyed all forms of checks and balances in our government and it is a mystery how this administration keeps doing this in plain sight of everyone and no one appears to do anything. They appear to do this by having pasty faced old white men yell a lot and look outraged that someone could ever question their integrity as we are shown they lied thousands of times.


Biden will have to get one hell of a running mate though to ever win this. Hopefully whoever this is, will be someone that everyone likes and actually has some brains. Or we and this country are doomed.
