I am sad today. Nothing to do with Art. I am sad for a people that I thought I knew better. Although the final numbers are far from in, the results of the US election are very saddening to me. When D. Trump took the presidency in 2016, I was shocked. Shocked that so many people had been taken in by this BS artist. But I figured that most people voted not so much for him as against Hillary Clinton. Lots of misinformation had intentionally been spread about her (think Pizzagate!) and I have to admit that Trump’s promise of “draining the swamp” had some appeal. Perhaps an unconventional businessman was what the country needed. So, OK, give him a chance. No one can be all bad, right? Who can boast never having made mistakes in their life, right? Let’s see what the new kid can do.
Well, America, you did. You saw him:
But no, you voted for him. Again. I’m done with you. You gave him a chance, you saw what he did, and you chose to continue. I’m done. This is what you want. Good luck. OK, that feels better! I promise, back to art next week! Now to the studio!!
