I waited in line for 30 minutes, which is less time than it took when I voted 4 years ago. I'm still pissed that I had to vote in person. My state forbade mail-in voting unless you have a specific reason, and fear of COVID isn't considered an adequate reason. It's an obvious attempt at voter suppression - what better way to ensure a low turnout than to make people afraid they'll die if they vote. But it didn't seem to work, judging by the large number of people voting early.
In the past four years, we've seen Trump tell more lies than any president in US history. We've seen him deny science, change tax laws to favor his wealthy friends, promote xenophobia, use the presidency to promote his own businesses, dismiss any problems that didn't directly affect him, blame the Democrats for his own mistakes, divide the country, stand up for racists and Nazis, and fumble the pandemic so hard that thousands more died than would have under a rational leader.
Remember, if you voted for Trump four years ago, you did this. You. Did. This. We warned you, and you didn't listen. There is blood on your hands, and you owe your country a penance.
But there's still time to make up for it. If you can't bring yourself to vote for Biden, at the very least don't vote for Trump again. Don't double down on your error. Own it, and resolve to do better. Prove that you can learn from your mistakes. Get back in God's good graces, and finally feel better about yourself.
Now go forth, and sin no more.
