Do you know what a broken heart feels like?
It's almost like a physical pain in my chest.
I'm watching as people who were elected and swore an oath to protect us completely abdicate their responsibilities to suck up to a criminal.
It's really really sad to see it.
And I think about how great things could have been if people weren't so racist and greedy.
But on the flip side, I've encountered Americans who still have no idea of what's going on. There are Americans who have no idea that the military was sent to DC and LA. They are in a walled off echo chamber and I have no idea of how to get through to them. It seems almost impossible.
But then a part of me wonders: Are they just effing with me? Pretending to not know what's going on in order to justify supporting a criminal?
Even if they're completely unaware of current events, surely they've seen trump himself talking.
Really, that should be all that's needed.
So that makes me sad as well.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
