i can't let up, because as soon as the 2016 election happened I vowed I would never be a good German. But my hope is low. very, very low.
they have everything you know. they have the WH, the courts, the justice (joke!) department. the bad news piles up like plastic choking the ocean.
opening up and destroying historical sites
138 Salvadorans killed after being deported (they said they would be)
children stolen, in cages (#CrimesAgainstHumanity)
DeVos destroying public education
Treasury gives GOP Hunter Biden's taxes (still can't see Trump's)
so I call my 2 republican fuckwad senators. send postcards to voters. talk to people. commiserate on twitter and DU. I see a counselor, sometimes I take a klonopin.
it's an unshakeable sense of dread and helplessness in spite of it all. I feel as if I do these things more to sooth myself than to make a difference because nothing is making a difference. the trump cult marches on, the media sucks.
Trump is not sane, demented, not sober, not leashed or restrained in any way at all. he is an unrepentant criminal and republicans are behind him all the way. what will right this ship? i don't know.
