Only remotely can you access the sentence upon which you’ve managed to stumble and through which you presently slip. 👋

Did you lose your footing along the way?

Are you sure??

An undoubtedly hefty portion of anyone armed with the ability to navigate my wacky words surely must assume that I’m “just another diehard libtard who hates Trump because he’s amazing” by default. None of that is accurate; nevertheless, I forgive your lazy assessment. See, I lament his poisonous presence not due to politically rigid affiliation, but because I am, in fact, entirely human (mostly). I’m pro-US. 💪

Us means you. It also means me. Wee! 🙂

Plus I’m such a girl, omigod. 🙃

But for real—why pick a side when both teams have already lost? 😐

Anyway, as I wasn’t yet saying, the primary motive behind the trending movement to quash a vote-at-home system is obscenely transparent, is it not? 🤨

A certain side fears that (too many) more voters from across the aisle will participate in the upcoming presidential election [assuming it even happens, of course 🙄] {no matter how ho-hum the candidate might be} if “the People” don’t have to wait in hurriedly herded, highly hostile, hypothetically hazardous lines while knee-deep in a firmly entrenched pandemic.

You know the difference between a virus and a bacteria, yeah?

“No”? 🤔

🥴

I’m as certain that you’ll make a better, choice host as I am sure that you’ll make a better choice, host. 😉

Clearly I know nothing. {Serious.} 😳

But…

In my estimation, the chief factor influencing this bipartisan conflict (of interest) stems essentially from age distribution among recent voters—in general and crudely put, more “old people” bother voting, and of that demographic, most vote straight red—so the right-wing strategy to disallow exercising {from home} your constitutional right makes as much sense as the fear fueling it. Really, it does! Kids today are awfully apathetic, amirite?

Guise??

In a nutshell, Republicans are more likely than Democrats to balk at simple safety guidelines—at least to an extent—which wholly reeks of counterintuitive loyalty given that COVID-19 tends to hit older folks hardest.

In other words, the Left is more likely than the Right to heed overwhelmingly uniform advice issued (on repeat and ad nauseam) by the clear consensus of the medical/scientific community. For this, reasons aplenty abound.

Let us debate, but not that.

Not now.

“Not like this.”

Statistics, people. Percentages. Odds. I didn’t bake the cake—I’m just reporting measured, active ingredients that could be destined, rather sorely, to glide over your dome, flyby after flyby. Hope not, though!

In lieu of these observed trends and in response to the ongoing fallout therefrom, the effort to throttle voter participation reveals general cunning on the GOP’s part, but don’t kid yourself: this is not about minimizing “fraud”; it’s about avoiding (at all costs) a drastic, pivotal loss of power.

Mentally reverse-engineer the aforementioned tactic in order to pinpoint its essence. What are we really saying here? That liberal youngsters will hijack votes from their conservative grandparents? If so (and applicable), then color me offended on your behalves, grands. 😘

Too, truly, I do realize that we’re all terribly distracted, often enthralled, and thoroughly blinded by our own individual notions of what freedom means precisely; however, should it come to pass, would the blockage in question (not) constitute an authoritarian deprival of liberty?

Not that I want to—I don’t; I have not been compelled, quite honestly; and disregard my lack of citizenship 🤫—but why can’t I cast a vote via my cellular device? I mean, heck, the stupid thing knows my stupid face and listens to every stupid word I say—I can tell!

Deductive reasoning based on mathematical evidence can be a rewarding hoot (should you find yourself equipped with the ability to read and think), and “common sense” must be extra annoying when you possess it but feel a prescriptive obligation to pretend that you don’t.

One person’s freedom can mean prison to another. Put another way, terms are subject to objective definition.

Dare you{rself} to stop clinging to one of two broken, ever-breaking, problematic parties. Opt instead to start being human. Be a vibrant hue, man. Embrace all the shades. Get colorful.

Take your partisan politics and shove ’em.

I mean it.

At both the beginning and the end of the day, our kind—the proverbial primate, the latest and greatest of all apes, we Homo sapiens, the species that grew the skulls housing the most complex objects in the universe, the biological conduits transforming photons into consciousness, the fire-wrangling shepherds of an electric blue planet’s matter, the crowning achievement of life, the (an)atomic miracle beckoning light’s cosmic awakening, all of us together, humanity—personifies spirit, embodies soul, and constitutes the sole tribe to which each (and every one) of us can rightly claim a lifetime membership by inalienable birthright.

Phew.
