I'm Not Feeling It

You will get no bashing from me Valerie. I have my own issues to deal with right now. I am fine being in my own little world. Hoping for the best. No elation here either.

You can't put a bandaid on a cancer and expect to get well. I see lots of problems ahead.

I am sorry that you have such an empty feeling. Maybe in time you will feel better, your country, and really the rest of the world, has been subjected to so much over the past 4 years. Wounds take time to heal. You just keep being you, that is what the world needs now.

I will say this: I am relieved. There has been no cure but one hate peddler is gone. Bye!

The inauguration didn't feel very presidential at all. I know people are tired of Trump Trump Trump. I've a feeling it won't be long they will saying where is Biden? I know in the end everything will work out just fine. But we still have to walk through a little more fire to get there. Unlike the ones who want to silence any and everyone who disagrees with them I will always respect your opinion, thoughts and feelings. Hugs.

Division, this government is in critical condition. No different than during the Civil War, there's no unity in this nation.

Never before America was like it is now, you surely need to get back together and stop fighting.

It might take more than one term to heal the damage that has been caused.

I felt a feeling of gloom when I watched the Inauguration. And not many people were in attendance. I think a lot more people attended the farewell of Trump before he left for Florida. Not surprising though, especially since the crowd at Biden's rallies was never huge.

I cried tears of happiness during the swearing-in

@just4him Not all are happy that Biden won. I hope things will not be as bad I believe they will be not only for the United States but for us here in Israel as well.

It was very subdued I guess because of covid pandemic and all it brought. The theme centered around memorializing & remember the people passed from covid. At least Trump left a peaceful speech and so did departing First Lady.

I feel much the same way, but maybe for slightly different reasons. When I watched the Trump inauguration speech it was uplifting. It was praising America and its good. It was praising the American people. It was telling the American people that what they voted for was restoring true representation to the people. Biden's speech was gloom and doom. It was despair. It was weakness. It was downtrodden. It pointed to the last YEAR as THE mark of the entire four. It pointed to a place that ONLY existed, and ONLY happened because of the pandemic, and light was cast on only THAT year as a measure of the entire four. I don't know what exactly the next four years is going to look like. All I can do is speculate. BUT, knowing what I know of Biden's past history, knowing what I know of Harris' vision of America, and what was campaigned... None of it is appealing nor does any of it seem to be good for America and is certainly the wrong direction to take the country.

I agree with you...didn't even want this outcome...it's awful.

I didn't bother watching it. To me, it's just a bunch of words until proven otherwise.

At times, when we have seen a lot of bad happening around us, lots of negativity, things or events do not excite us. Perhaps the new administration just needs to work quietly and dedicatedly for a better US and in some ways a better world.

I am feeling the beauty in that photo of yours and I have read with interest the comments here its interesting as we would not know over here what people over there really think and feel. Much the same kind of thing goes on over here too.

nothin' 'tis gonna be healed o'ernight, took a long time fer schtuff to go so out'ta kilter. yer very much entitled to yer 'pinion. i jest ask that'cha open yer heart, have'n open mind. give the new 'dministration a chance.

@just4him A quiet presidency would be nice, with no fuss or high drama. Unfortunately.....

No worries. I'm not one with among those canceling you for your freedom of expression. I deliberately didn't watch. I've heard enough of his no-policy campaigns of doom and gloom, 'We're entering a very dark winter' promises. What, of his presidency? Thanks for bravely telling us.
