My wife once worked at a mall where Barbara Bush was touring for a photo op. Yes, that Barbara Bush, matriarch of the American political dynasty. Wife of one president, mother of another.

photo by Element5 Digital on Unsplash November 3, 2020. Presidential election day during the COVID-19 quarantine. I was working as a voting machine operator at a polling station. The whole day was brutal. We’d been so busy for the first several hours that I had forgotten to drink and had become shaky. It was evening now, I was hydrated, and there was thankfully, finally, a lull. A young man was looking at the papers laid out on the table near the entrance. He was closely scanning all those legal documents… Read More »How To Preserve Freedom by Helping Elect a Tyrant
