Immediately, I realized what I and my party, Dems, had done wrong.

I've been sharing it with other Dems: I feel that we Dems should have stood more firmly for Joe Biden's candidacy. He'd certainly earned a 2nd term and putting so much effort and repetition into drubbing him should have been directed to praising and keeping him.

I do believe that a lot of repetitions of falsehoods about his popularity and his polls were messed with to erect more inaccuracies about him--Russia, China, GOPs, etc.

Trump once again proves that even a hideously flawed candidate can win with full support.

Using the word "gaffes" for Biden is inaccurate, though repeated until people think it's true.

As an erudite politician said, "Biden's rare 'sotto voces' are always what all of us are thinking."

I praised Biden in letters to him for being a current Will Rogers who was famous for spreading truths with his humor. Like Biden, he succeeded well in staying on good terms with most people...very bipartisan, very kind with people of all beliefs. I also praised Biden for being like Franklin Roosevelt with his great plans that came into fruition to help so many people.

So what is keeping me up as I process this outcome is that my positive view of Christianity is completely eroded! Christians, including my own friends have ‘approved’ racism, sexual assaults, criminal behavior, kicking the poor and hungry to the curb, as something divine; have claimed all that as ‘voting for values’!

How can that be? And who do you trust?

I trust my sensations. Experts say that you feel everything another person is feeling about you....even at a distance. When I've paid attention to those messages, I can protect as well as welcome. And, yes, we were in shock for a couple of days and it's still hard to believe what has happened.

I have also been dismayed by the way many people who call themselves Christians are behaving and making choices. Not sure what will stop it, either, now that they have gained so much power.

I woke up Nov. 6th with a black hole in my stomach the size of a bowling ball. It weighed about as much. Nothing, not even light, can escape a black hole. No light in. No light out. The training I've relied upon for years enabling me to "manifest my reality" was of no use when I needed it the most. But something good eventually came out of this: Revelation. Prophecy. I saw the future, and the future is "Global Algorithmic Governance" -- GAG. It will be welcomed with open arms, demanded even. Red and Blue politics will be seen as the failure it’s always been. Our roller-coaster ride every two years will be subsumed into algorithmic stability. Recurring constitutional crisis will be dissolved by a system of Service Agreements agreed to individually, grounded in collective responsibility. The cult of personality will be rendered obsolete. It's going to take a long time to get there. It won't be in this lifetime, or the next. It'll be painful, but that's the future re-imagined. MAGA is just the latest step in that direction. Oh, and I don’t have a bowling ball in my stomach anymore.

Glad you got rid of your bowling ball.
