7. I knew intuitively what would happen.

My heart was heavy all day.
I doubt there was any actual fraud.
The fraud that is perpetuated is the constant propaganda that
is called 'media' and 'political ads.'
the fraud that convinces people to believe what they are told,
and emotionally believe..
And convinced not to think for themselves..

The fraud is the 'ginned' up political extremism,
the 'us vs them,' and the 'all or nothing' thinking.

It is tragic, and I don't see a light at the end of this story.
Walker and all his compadres are not really leaders,
but are following a playbook to manipulate the electorate
and pervert the democracy to benefit a select few.
This is not only unethical.. it is moral abuse.

But as I said in another thread: The wheels of justice grind slowly....
