(22,156 posts)to have overtaken the American stage ... at least with Joe Biden and Jill coming onboard soon, the ugly will be wiped away and the stains will start to be cleaned up. I hope that they (The Biden admin.) will go after those that have ridiculed and ignored laws that protected the innocent, protected the environment, stole from the American people, etc. Don't give these crooks a break.

We have a ton of work to do in this country.

(22,557 posts)Megalomania, corruption... Is an affront to those who are able to receive guidance and set standards from their souls. Anyone who supports Trump's calls to violence, his desire to destroy is utterly oblivious to any qualities other than egotism. Self-centeredness is no basis for a decent, functioning society.

(8,986 posts)is the realization that it was always there. Im no Pollyanna. Far from it. I know from personal experience that there are those who revel in the pain of others. I know that there are those who consider selfishness a superpower.
What I didnt know is that there are SO DAMN MANY of them. The kind of people who would rather throw food in the trash than give it to the hungry.
It makes me not care if I ever rejoin the world or not.

(11,629 posts)have crushed what little idealism I had left. I've become what I vowed never to be: a middle aged cynic. With the trump virus running rampant due to the selfishness of many, my heart is hardening. I don't like being like this but I just can't help it right now.

I was horrified and sick at heart when it revealed how far we yet have to go and how many truly horrible people inhabit this country.

(11,564 posts)Maybe it's good to have something so obviously awful to fight against, though. This is not a couple of points of mill rate on a tax policy kind of different. It's much more of the "Who gets to live?" kind.
