I am so upset by the recent events in America (Trump, Gorsuch, Russian intelligence operations, the Republican congress that betrays us every day) that I cant even write my blog. Because what I want to write about I am not particularly qualified to write about excepting of course that I am an American citizen. Nevertheless, it is all I want to write about today.
Never before has my powerlessness in life, my inability to influence my environment, my complete non-existence to those in power ever been a problem. But in this current situation here seems to be nothing anyone can do, and the system has clearly failed.

The
good news is that it makes it much easier to relate to periods of
history that I study (I mean why not, what else do I have to do) and
how people must have felt when their nations (and the predecessors to
nations) seemed to be coming apart before their eyes.
Like
someone in Britain in WW 1, like a Jew in Nazi Germany, or a Russian
in 1917, don't people understand what is going on? Why dont they see
the terrible cost that their inaction is imposing on us. Some of
them are idiots, some of them are selfish, some are self-deluded.
They think they can do whatever they want and do not realize that
some mistakes can not be recovered from.
Do they think we are just not going to insist on the tax returns being released? Do they think they can stall us from making them appoint a special prosecutor? Do they think we will not be able to impeach Gorsuch the way they destroyed the system to "approve" him? Do they think we will not get to the bottom of the Russian Information Operation?
Who are these people who call themselves Americans?
