Me, Myself and I

There is a disconnect between me, myself and I or should that be among? The editor in me is always there ready to correct me and gets really irate if I blurt out “Donald and myself” instead of “Donald and I” when we are subject rather than object, although there are times when I definitely feel like the object, but that is a different matter. My grammar guide simplifies it by saying take out “Donald” and see how it sounds, and I must admit that these days it does sound better without Donald and I would love to do that but can’t because I only had one vote and it’s probably going to be disqualified because it was a mail-in and the Supreme Court is more Conservative than ever now, leaving me caught between politics and the people, another existential divide which myself is hesitant to cross because among me, myself, and I, we are all rather nervous

Thanks SO, the apocryphal Chinese Curse, 'May you live in interesting times.' applies in spades to 2020. But it does give us something to rant about.
