Many friends have noticed that I seem to be rather worked up about the current political situation. Some have politely pointed out that this apparent anger is distasteful to them and that I seem to be over excited. But what I think is that they are not anywhere near angry enough and that they are living in a fools paradise. They dont like that, who could blame them.
I am an easy target. I should worry more about my life and lack thereof, and at my complete failure to have a career. No doubt some of my anger comes from that. So this is acknowledged up front.
I think that the 2000 election was stolen by the Republicans to put their right wing stoodge in power. I protested this in Washington, where were you?
I grew up with Watergate and the Voting Rights Act. I thought we agreed that people of color were going to be allowed to vote and participate in our society. But that did not happen. I thought we had agreed that we would have free elections, and not counting votes in Florida or disenfranchising Native Americans or Hispanic Americans is not a free election.
Putting right wing nuts and rapists on the Supreme Court means that you no longer have a judiciary. Who cares what the Supreme Court says when in no way can you respect it. Maybe you respect it. I dont.
And yet my elected representative isnt sure about impeaching Donald Trump, who was not legally elected as far as I can tell.
I think what you have here is a revolutionary situation. I am surprised that there has not been more violence. I think people are in denial that the constitution failed and that there has been a right wing coup d'etat.
At some point all these little things add up and then where are you?
I want to congratulate Russia for being completely successful at helping Americans lose faith in their institutions! Good job guys! Best of show!
