I’m fed up, just like you. The hatred that is fuelled by “that man” I can’t name is spreading like a wildfire in dry brush. Where were these people hiding? And what’s up with the Nazi assholes? Are they really hoping to re-kindle a Hitler regime? That picture scared the crap out of me. It’s so impractical to say we’ll just move out of the country. We can’t. We need to stay & fight. Do we stand a chance? Not unless they put that POS low-life animal in prison. I’m tired of entitlement. I’m tired of not making a difference. I hate what’s going on more than anything I’ve ever experienced. God help us.

I keep hoping and waiting for the pendulum to swing back towards sanity, towards community, toward the light. Some day. Here in Texas, I probably see more of the nutjobs and crazies than anywhere else in the country besides Florida. I don't know what to tell you. It's insane. Our electrical grid is crashing, schools are being demolished, hospitals are overrun, guns are everywhere, our Attorney General is an unrepentant crook, and people still insist on voting Republican. Part of it is tribalism, part of it is ignorance, and part of it are the megachurches that definitely should be taxed. They're unabashedly playing politics and no one's calling them on it. During our Snowpocalyse, many people and businesses reached out to help others. You know who didn't? The megachurches.

I'm angry. I'm frustrated. I'm exhausted. I cannot even tell you how it feels to not want to smile or be friendly to neighbors because I either know they're Republicans or I suspect it. I don't want to have anything to do with them. I used to play pokeno with women on my street. Now I wouldn't be caught dead there. It's so hard. Now that our son is off at college, we're looking to move. Texas is drowning and we don't want to go down with the ship. As for the rest, I just don't know.
