The most depressing thing left in my life at this point is politics and the state of the world. No matter how hard I try, I can't turn off the news. It's the trainwreck you can't look away from. The car accident you slow down for to get a look even when you know it is likely gruesome. Which, let's face it, is the perfect word for the state of affairs; gruesome.
Chechnya, Syria, Russia, Trump, trade war, real war, the end of the ACA...the list is endless. I am not trying to drag anyone down but this is fucking happening and people are still getting behind #45 and his cronies. I can't understand how we are marching the streets daily and trying to impeach the entire top tier of the government. How they are behaving and the way they are pushing us into a potentially deadly corner is, in my opinion, the worst time I have ever seen in our political history. It is true that we made it through the Cold War and the Cuban Missile Crisis but remember, while you might not have liked who was in office during those times, at least they had political experience and a basic understanding of how government works. Trump got a history lesson from Xi on North Korea. Our "leader" doesn't even have a 10th-grade education in world history. It's mind boggling.
I want to think it will get better. I have to believe that people will wake up and realize that coal isn't going to be the next big thing and kicking immigrants out of the country won't make the U.S. a safer place to live. If we don't start to enforce that these fools work for us then we are going to die in the beds we made.
