It is hard to find anything in any of the media anywhere that represents where we are right now. This is the closest I've seen that reflects what I'm feeling and thinking . It is truly surreal .
I had the dubious pleasure of discussing the election results with a R today: they were " looking forward to T taking over, he was such a successful businessman...." etc....the Faux propaganda machine has done such a number on what is left of their minds.
It was good to read this post and realize that there are others out there who are just as perplexed by our fall into the Trumpian Twilight Zone.
