#229 - Don't Like Post Election Mess

Thursday, after Election

I turned on the news at 7 am. Lots of Trump signs... sheriffs and people yelling, "Stop the count!"

Trump has been demanding we end the counting of votes, across the country. Fraud? He's given no evidence. Since when does the president have the right to terminate an election?
​

Count Every Vote!
​

We shouldn't need to wave these signs, but some need to be told. Every vote matters. I thought we were all supposed to believe that.

Even though we're in the middle of a pandemic, we've had higher voter turnout than any election in history.  Voting has been extra complicated and we need to be patient with this wait. But man, it's hard waiting.

Yesterday's Tweets

Evidently, Trump has been tweeting a lot. Lots of his tweets have been removed, for misleading information.

​Today

The president like to Tweet in CAPS.

Surprise Appearance

While watching the news, they suddenly broke to a broadcast from the White House. Trump was addressing the public for the first time since the election.

"If you count the legal votes, I easily win," he said. (votes are still being counted!) Even though he has no evidence, Trump claimed the Democrats were "trying to steal an election, they're trying to rig an election." 

And that's all I saw. MSNCB cut him off.  

I'm worried about how this kind of talk will stir things up. It's scary to picture the people I've seen chanting at his rallies, getting angry if and when their president loses. I think I may be quarantining safely for a long while.
