18. I don't know what to do with my rage

The damage they are doing, for what? For a tax cut that billionaires will barely notice much less be able to spend except in some dystopian dream of power? A cryptocurrency reserve that is guaranteed to lose money? For some imagined suffering of White men? So they can brandish chainsaws at conferences? For this they will cause pain and suffering, destroy democracy, crush valiant countries, turn the whole world upside down, terrorize the whole of humanity?

We are their plaything, these desperate souls who cannot find love or satisfaction in a life contained in shared wealth and resources. They surpass the villains of my childhood fantasies, which I once thought were imaginary exxagerations, now come to real life. Darth Vader, Voldemort, Golllum, Sauron the Dark Lord, the Cauldon-Born, Arawn Death-Lord. They pale to Putin, Trump, and Musk. Where are our fantasy heroes? I want my Luke Skywalker, Taran Wanderer, Gandolf, Frodo, Dumbledore, Harry Potter.

It is so ridiculous, so trivial, so evil.
I want these people along with their voter base to find themselves in a Bosch painting forever lamenting that they failed to pay attention, failed to see, failed to care.
