(34,935 posts)It's almost like a physical pain in my chest.
I'm watching as people who were elected and swore an oath to protect us completely abdicate their responsibilities to suck up to a criminal.
It's really really sad to see it.
And I think about how great things could have been if people weren't so racist and greedy.
But on the flip side, I've encountered Americans who still have no idea of what's going on. There are Americans who have no idea that the military was sent to DC and LA. They are in a walled off echo chamber and I have no idea of how to get through to them. It seems almost impossible.
But then a part of me wonders: Are they just effing with me? Pretending to not know what's going on in order to justify supporting a criminal?
Even if they're completely unaware of current events, surely they've seen trump himself talking.
Really, that should be all that's needed.
So that makes me sad as well.
