Now I am stuck in THIS nightmare and THAT nightmare simultaneously....

OH FUCK EVERY THING!!!!!

GODDAMN IT...

I told anyone who would listen that Trump was an existential threat to the union...and not enough would hear. It haunts me daily that I was not able to help convince enough people that Trump was dangerous, now THOUSANDS are dead...THOUSANDS of families are torn apart and racked with grief and guilt when their loved ones pass in isolation, alone and unable to be comforted...

FUCK>>>>ME!
This pain is too real, this shame is too deep, this hurt is too close to the heart...

WHY?

WHY would people not see what was so obvious in those debates, in that campaign, in that husk of a human being painted yellow and orange?

I am starting to sink into a deepening depression. Every day I still go to work (medical devices - bacterial diagnoses, legitimate essential business for public health) and I see nearly no one. The office is nearly empty with people working from home who do not directly support manufacturing, which my group does. My car----my office----meetings on this PC----my car----home, then the guilt and the fear and the news....everything is falling apart all around me - Thousands of dead EVERY DAY now, more than 1,000 each day of April and counting...fear for my family, fear for myself.

I thought it was bad just being outraged at Trump's total lack of fitness for office and his incompetence and corrupt intent...this is so much worse, so much more perverted, so evil.

I am losing my grip on the edge here...slipping slowly into something dark, something frightening, something I can't beat back forever.
I have to unplug from this all for a bit...not thinking bad thoughts, just not able to cope with the overload right now...

Stay safe all, stay well...

It's fun to blame narrow minded bigots for all of our troubles. It's often accurate to blame narrow minded bigots for a lot of things, and I do. Not all the time, but frequently.

Also the "I've got mine, fuck you" crowd. They really deserve a lot of credit for the bullshit we all go through.

The uber wealthy who send us blithe updates about their state of being during these troubled times, complete with professional drone shots of their yachts... "Stay safe!" We know who they vote for, and why. Screw them.

But mostly, I blame the media. I blame the"journalists." I blame every mascara lash, every pancaked face--expertly blended, every blow dried strand of extended hair--expertly dyed to match, every single one of the soulless who will read anything they are told just for a bucketful of bucks.

They're the ones who are willing to go on camera.

Then there are plenty who just gush the metaphorical ink for the electoral horse race, because it brings in the dough and subscriptions are down whether paper is involved or not.

Oh hell, I blame everybody who voted for the candy corn cowpat and everybody who is still pretending he's sane.

Now what?

I keep thinking about how different it’d be if she assumed her rightful place behind that Resolute Desk.
