Last month was an absolute shit show. This month feels like the end of a hangover. At least it’s at an end? I don’t feel like philosophizing about work or sex or really even humans. If I wasn’t totally numb from a self-induced case of apathy, I’d be extremely anxious over the shit happening in our country right now.
Our country. We own this bitch. Hell, in more than a few ways the average American citizen not only funds it, we keep it functional. Lately, the definition of functional is a bit more loose than you’d expect, but we’re doing our best.
Which is directly at odds with the way we should be reacting. I think most people are rebelling in ways that fit the confines of their metaphorical (for some) cage. Personally, I love getting absolutely shit faced, calling up my local politicians and telling them (in various, detailed ways) how much of a fuck up I think they are. I recommend it wholeheartedly.
Just when you think the United States government can’t get any worse, somehow the decrepit, orange narcissist (apparently) running the whole shit show comes up with some new horrifying way to make everything worse. Going to sleep every day with the hope that you’ll finally wake up to some good news or hell, just NO news at all (with none needing to be reported). It’s almost impressive if I detach myself enough from the real world consequences everyone (except the sad excuse for a man who willed it to be) will have to suffer.
I wonder if we’ll ever see any of them dragged off to The Hague. Once everything falls down and floods out, as it so often does with these types, it’ll be interesting to see what comes of it. Knowing America’s history with enemies within it’s own borders (and seats of government) probably less than nothing.
It’s becoming increasingly clear the idiot and his lackeys are powered by conflict. Their agenda is powered by conflict. That’s the main distraction, the main focus. If we could somehow pull ourselves away from his bullshit and focus on creating community with each other, we might be able to survive this shit in some way.
It’s pretty clear what’s happening to anyone paying attention. The amount of people not allowing themselves to pay attention to save their sanity and/or their egos is frightening at this point though. I get it, the news is so bad every goddamn day it basically causes psychic damage, but if there was ever a time to grin and bear it, that would be now.
