One would have hoped my dark, cranky mood would have changed by now. Nope, not happening. Everything we read, every bit of news we hear reinforces the facts that we, as Americans, as humans, are in for a world of hurt, hate and terror for the next several years. If anyone out there has heard otherwise, has some uplifting splinter of light, please bring it on. Share it.
It boggles my mind that we have sunk so low in such a short period of time but then I think of the 1930's and the rise of Hitler and Nazism. It didn't take long before the Nazi Party reached its peak. It isn't taking long for the current administration to wield its sword of power and bend the laws to suit its agenda. And now we have reports that POTUS is planning on skipping the election in 2028 and simply remaining president forever. And who's to stop him? Clearly not the Democrats, not unless a very, very strong leader emerges soon. Kamala Harris says she is considering running for president again. What a fiasco that would be.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." Somehow we need to stop that backwards movement, we need to find a way to the future that does not include the monsters now in power. We need to move forward, not let ourselves be pulled backward, into the past.
The next time I write, it will be less dismal, I promise.
I think you should find someone to play scrabble with. And have a catch on a regular basis. Also - Colbert for a laugh and Heather Cox Richardson for some perspectives. And Emily and I for good food and wine. LTBT
ReplyDeleteThanks for your suggestions but I doubt they would help. Except for you and Emily and food and wine.
