we're in a shitload of trouble here. nazis in the white house, republicans so craven and corrupt they let this sick, sick child get away with anything and everything...the country is sick. it's mean and cruel and getting worse, and sometimes i just have to stop paying attention. then i feel guilty. if we cannot get enough people to vote and change the balance of power both in the states and in DC, i really do not like to speculate about where we're headed. but then i just read The Handmaid's Tale for the first time. maybe i'm overstating the peril, but i don't think so.
