Blue Wave or Red Tide?

From our political correspondent, Dorothy "Lottie" Dawe:

The election this Tuesday will determine the future of this county.  Will we save ourselves as the result of a Blue Wave?  Or will we become more toxic as the result of a Red Tide?

Trump is slinking through the country peddling hate and fear  to his base in a desperate attempt to preserve the GOP congress.  His pack of soulless devil dogs on Fox News is also pushing dread to raise the level of anxiety in the hearts of racists across the county. 

Check this tweet out about Cruella d'Pirro:

My first thought was that she was just vetting potential GOP candidates for future elections.  LOL -- it turns out I wasn't the only one with that idea.  For example, check out these two responses, one from @KevinMKruse and another from @willmenaker (click the images to enlarge)

I suppose FDR was right -- the only thing we have to fear, is fear itself -- so the Liar-in-Chief is dialing up the fear so the GOP racists race to the polls.  We can only hope that the good people of America will come out in a Blue Wave so that we don't have to face the next two years as the result of a Red Tide.

Of course the idea of a Blue Wave vs. a Red Tide called to mind Emmett Lee Dickinson's poem "A wild Blue wave to test the Winds" (below on the left).  His poem inspired third cousin Emily to pen her poem "A wild Blue sky abreast of Winds" (below on the right).

By Emmett Lee Dickinson:
 
A wild Blue wave to test the Winds
That threaten us – will run
And flood behind the White House Door
With our defiant sum –
He’ll contest it with those dreadful fiends
So maddening like a stain
They are downright deplorable
Their arrogant campaign –
​

​By Emily Dickinson:
 
A wild Blue sky abreast of Winds
That threatened it – did run
And crouched behind his Yellow Door
Was the defiant sun –
Some conflict with those upper friends
So genial in the main
That we deplore peculiarly
Their arrogant campaign –
