It Is Doing What Trump Wants It To Do.

[Editorial]

I am at a crossroads with my blog. It is taking an emotional toll on me.

It is hard writing about all the injustices. I don’t just write about them—I read many articles on the topic, and that’s the part that is really getting to me.

There are so many people out there encouraging ICE to bash more heads. There are so many cheering the killing. They see ICE as heroes defending the nation. I can’t understand it.

I read comments to get a sense of how people are thinking (I used to be on the Family Institute of Connecticut email list to keep up with what they were saying), and the tone is starting to change over what ICE is doing. The polls are showing it.

I think Trump is on a downward spiral, and I also think that is when he is most dangerous. I have seen one judge’s order after another ignored. There are executive orders being shot down by the courts one after another. As his poll numbers tank, I worry that he is going to do something crazy on election day.

He lashes out at one group one day and praises them the next. He slaps a huge tariff on a country, then rolls it back. He singles out states that didn’t vote for him and makes personal demands of them, like naming railroad stations after him. He’s vindictive.

I worry that he is going to do something reckless along the lines of January 6 if Congress flips.

So I don’t know where my blog is heading. My daily hits are around 2,000 to 10,000 per day, and that weighs on my thoughts. Some days I just want to walk away; the next day I publish five blogs.

I don’t want to publish negative stories all the time, but there is so much bad out there that I just can’t leave it unchallenged.
