#214) Goodbye and Good Riddance

 

December 15, 2020

 

Dear Loser,

 

On election day in November 2008 I woke up my 4 children at 10:00 at night and dragged them down to our local elementary school gym where my husband Peter was counting ballots because I wanted them to be present when the first black man was elected President of the United States.  I told them they were witnessing history, that their grandchildren would ask them about this one day, and that this was probably the most important election of their lives.  The youngest was still in pajamas and didn't understand exactly what was going on but he was there and he clapped and cheered with the crowd when Barack Obama was declared the victor.

 

Now here we are, 12 years later, and I'm telling them again that THIS is in fact the most important election of their lives (though for vastly different reasons).  They are older now and they understand why voting you out of office is important because they witness your stupidity and inadequacy every day.  With yesterday's ratification by the Electoral College the winner of the 2020 election became officially official and on January 20th Joe Biden will be inaugurated as President of the United States of America.  I couldn't be happier that your reign of terror is coming to an end and that this will be my last letter to you. 

 

There is just one more thing that I would like to say to you to give myself closure as your tenure comes to an end, and that is shame on you!  Shame on you for being a misogynistic, self-seeking, antagonistic, dishonest, petty, selfish, racist, bigot and bully.  Shame on you for endangering the health and safety of American citizens and for enabling dangerous right wing militias and hate groups.  Shame on you for bringing this country to the brink of civil war for your own personal gain and most of all, shame on you for just being such a fucking asshole.

 

 

Goodbye and Good Riddance,
