Sorry, people, but I no longer feel I can write with confidence about the 2020 election. All the unusual events of 2020, together with the general atmosphere of confusion, anger, and division, have piled up and had a cumulative impact on me.

The state of American politics is too stressful. There’s too much misinformation in the air, too many efforts to spread mistrust ahead of the November election.

Without newspapers, and with the terrible quality of cable TV news, I feel cut off from reliable information. I don’t want to write anything that might only add to the confusion.

I hope to soon add some short posts on other subjects.
