exactly what I see and feel.

A part of me actually hopes for a massive implosion. We deserve it and I think ultimately we need it. Hell, the world needs it to happen. I don't see anything awful that has been put into place being reversed. I think that hope died along with the Alito and Roberts placement. My family is bracing for it. I know some people think we're a little nuts but who isn't a little crazy these days? In my gut I think we're right. In my heart I desperately want to be wrong.

But you know, the supremes keep giving more rights to non-sentient entities and taking rights away from human beings. And here we sit and bicker amongst ourselves over candidates who will not change anything for us in any truly meaningful way. At least none that will get elected in our corrupt system.

I wish more people would see that it's no longer about who will get the nom or win this election or that, but that "we the people" need to get together across party lines (and not just dem and repubs) to really enact some change. I don't know exactly what the right answer is but I do know enough to see that more of what we've been doing doesn't work.


Feeling a little fatalistic today.
