Was I delusional?
What I saw was, half of the voters voted for Trump. I don't think I mentioned MAGA at all did I? A big part of Trumps message was retribution against all those that spoke against him. He also hyped his authoritarian tendencies. If you voted for Trump, you also voted for Trumps beliefs. He wants to be a strongman and has said by his own mouth and also through his support of Putin and all of the other strongmen that have come or been in power in their countries for some time.
To anyone that thinks Trump can bring the prices of gas and food down, good luck on that! Although I am not an economist, I think It goes against our monetary system for those prices to come back down. Sure, inflation has subsided, but those prices will never come back down to what they were before Covid no matter who the president is! Why Harris, or anyone else for that matter, has never mention that the prices will never come down is beyond me. I learned that in high school civics class - things like our monetary system as well as the way our government works and many more things. Oh that's right, they don't teach civics any more. Huh!
Maybe I am just being paranoid, but my belief in what is going to happen in the next 4 years has moved me to take some action to try to protect myself. I am moving money from my bank accounts to a personal safe where I will be able to still access money after the banks close and I can't get to it any longer. I have also taken other measures that I will not mention here. Yes, that is how bad I think it is going to get. I am hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst!
Maybe I am delusional after all!
