Seriously. The big orange thing occupying the white house and how he got there has truly messed with my head. How can this be? How on earth can this waste of a human being possibly be the leader of the United Sates? With every interview...with every utterance...with every tweet. People actually voted for this man. It tears my soul apart with the daily attack on logic. This man being in office has literally shaken my previously unshakable faith in stupidity. It has taken my faith in mankind to be a miserable species and acceptance of that fact and taken it to a new level. Somebody pinch me please!
The level of ineptitude...I’m seriously having a hard time keeping a coherent thought trying to write this. This guy…fuck! Really?
I thought I had something to say that would be cogent, satisfying a desire to get something off my chest. But I’m just pissed. Something inside of me was always steadfast and believed America was different. This...person, this foul thing that now sits in the oval office? It undermines everything that had an inkling of being just and right ever stood for.
The idea of America, as corrupt as it has become, has always been one of something more. Now the very immigrants that came here reject the possibility of being something more. The idea of being able to defend ones self has become so twisted and demented. The very idea of life and liberty have been injected with venom and rights of inanimate objects, corporations, “things” have more meaning than human life and independence.
When I was a little kid and went to school I never once imagined someone was going to come to my school and try and kill me. I was concerned with not fucking up on a test. I was concerned (or not) with learning. School was school. Now they look like prisons. You used to be able to go play sports on an open field on a weekend. They weren’t fenced in. They were another place you could go besides a park. Now they are fenced in. And now we are talking about making them “hardened”? Invulnerable to attack? What the fuck is wrong with America?
We want to make gun owners that are responsible feel okay. Fuck the laws that aren't being enforced. Fuck making a few changes so gun manufactures can make money. It’s all good because 2ND AMENDMENT! What the fuck?
We get caught up in the bull shit. Brothers and Sisters fighting amongst themselves. Divide and conquer. We are so caught up in the bull shit right now. We fight amongst ourselves while money is so clearly, without doubt, destroying anything we ever even thought we believed in. But as long as we believe we can get a slice of the pie we will forever fight each other. As long as we are divided the ones with all the money will keep us fighting. That guy over there is taking your job. That girl over there doesn’t belong here. Fucking stooges.
It makes me mental...and reaffirms my fundamental hatred of humans. We, as a tribe, as a community, as a species are doomed. So long as we keep fighting each other and keep thinking in a tribal way and keep bestowing power on others that don’t deserve it...we are fucked.
And that’s why I’m losing my mind (among other things)
