In America, EVERY DAY Is Groundhog Day [View all]

Rinse & Repeat.

We're a shithole country. Always have been. Always will be.

It's o.k. to hope for and support change. Just do not be disappointed when it doesn't happen. And it won't.

There will be more cops killing black people and getting away with it.

There will be more mass shootings, with lots of news coverage, lots of people forming groups to protest guns, and Nothing will change.

Let me know when the tide starts to turn, because honestly, it is not only not turning, it is accelerating in the direction it's always been heading.

I've always heard how people will risk everything to come to the great land of America. While that's true, it's only because they're coming from somewhere even more fucked up than we are. There are certainly places worse than America, but also plenty that look on the day to day situation over here with complete disbelief.
