I am so tired of living in a country where 50% of the population considers voting for ignorant, demented assholes like Walker, Oz, Mastriano, and the like. It's infuriating having to accept that half of the people I encounter each day have lost their minds, likely forever.
Meanwhile, rabid discussions of (and calls for) civil war are up 3,000% on every online platform--ever since poor-baby DJT had his house searched. Sadly, I'm like getting to the point where it's like, "Bring it on assholes!" The only regret that Stuart Rhodes has regarding January 6th is that they "Should have brought more rifles"!
We and our country are so close to failure. My only comfort is that my parents and grandparents aren't here to witness it, for I would be crushingly embarrassed when they would ask me what the hell I'm doing about it.
“Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.” John Taylor, 1814
“Cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.” George Washington
