What is perhaps most frustrating...

[NRaleighLiberal]

is that for the past three and a half years, and particularly, the recent experience with the pandemic, most of us here understand what's going on. We are pretty smart. We reason, we think, we do critical thinking, we read, we have empathy.

And so the frustrating part is when we see Trump and his enablers and cult making decisions and doing things that end up as disasters. We knew they were going to be disasters.

EDITED to add....the inability of the media to focus on the trump disasters and hold their feet to the fire (they are so easily gaslit).

And that means that we are witnessing thousands and thousands of needless deaths, and we are probably at the end of the beginning, not the beginning of the end

Maybe the word isn't frustrating so much as tragic...or, murder.

1. Yes, NRaleighLiberal...murder.

I believe these deaths are being caused, deliberately.

2. Those are strong words.

And I think you hesitated when you thought them.

But you're absolutely right.

3. Not EVEN the end of the beginning- just an ongoing show of incompetence and corruption

With few exceptions (Rachel, WaPo, Guardian, Al Jazeera), the media are still trying to provide us with that false equivalency. How long will we put up with this shit?
