How can you guys bear to come back to this thread from a time BEFORE, which now feels like a distant fucking fantasy that may or may not be based on reality.
I tried. I love my life in a state of perpetual vigilance, and I speak out to the extent that my job allows and make donations to various causes. But the more time passes the more my capacity for discussing this living horrorshow diminishes. Someone shot up a goddamn newsroom in an itty bitty town Maryland town last week, and goddammit, our commander-in-chief stoked the flames of violence against the Fourth Estate shamelessly. Took no responsibility when his message was pushed to its logical extreme.
I can’t stand to revisit this thread, and I have a hard time seeing how it stays so popular. Maybe I’m just winded, feeling beaten and busted up. I don’t know.
But as an American, I’m finding it harder and harder to talk about the monster who occupies the White House.
