It's not just "one idiot," it's single-party rule in all three branches of government. It's 30+ states that are governed top-to-bottom by Republicans. Its the utter silence of those same Republicans who remain silently complicit with this daily outrage. It's their media advantage, with a dedicated "news" outlet pumping the party message 24/7. It's African Americans, Hispanics and POC being unable to walk their streets or drive a car without fear for their lives. It's voter suppression. It's an all-out war on women. It's a newly minted conservative Supreme Court judge, with probably another on the way fairly soon. It's the hundreds of lifetime federal judgeship appointments that #45 has yet to name. It's the obvious ties to Russia, a hostile oligarchy. It's how Republicans get away with murder, but if a Democrat so much as bends a paper clip, there is screaming from the right for blood.
And worse yet, it's having to share the country with a large group of people who live in complete delusion, where Jesus is savior and Donald Trump is stern-parent-king. He's gotten us neck-deep into a cold (so far) Civil War.
Your enthusiasm is admirable and welcome, but my 68-year-old eyes have seen a lot, good and bad. And this...THIS...is bad. The worst kind of bad: the very *reality* of the United States being called into question every day now.
On edit: I will still fight gang-and-claw against this monstrosity; just because my mood flags a bit doesn't mean the spirit has left me. I will do everything I can to give the Trump Train it's well-earned "Bridge on the River Kwai" finish.
