Here in the U.S.A., we will we voting for a new president this year.
The closer we get to the election, the more hateful the social media posts will become.
What makes me laugh now is the people who, at any other time than election time, would be syrupy sweet in their posts.
And yet, this demon that lurks inside them makes its way to the surface every four years,
letting the hate spew forth.
After the smoke clears and the election is over,
some will whine and some will boast.
And then things will return to a semblance of normalcy,
for the demon of hate will go to sleep for another four years.
Another one of the good things (sometimes) about getting older is that time passes much quicker for me.
I will still be happy when the whole mess is over.
