I am very sad and frightened simultaneously...

[Jean Genie]

7. hopeless?

Just so exasperating! I sigh and shake my head at the lack of wisdom of my fellow human beings. Why, oh why do they keep supporting, indeed celebrating, the stupidity status quo?
And I question my own wisdom - or lack thereof. What do they see in Trump that I simply don't get? Are they right and am I wrong? My god, I hope that's not the case! How can women vote against their own interests? How can we not only support, but revere, a rapist and multi-married womanizer? How can we believe despite the evidence to the contrary, that he won the last election? How can we believe that immigrants and non-white fellow human beings are the cause of all our woes?
It terrifies me to think that perhaps we've always been this country, and I'm just now waking up to the reality.
