Mono,
That is what I've been dwelling on far too much. It took decades to get us here, with all sorts of factors at play: continued and growing racism, abject destruction of quality public education by Republicans in power at the federal, state, and municipal levels, the growing divide between the poor and the rich and the middle class stuck in the middle that are prone to blaming the wrong villain.
It will take us decades to change course. As a parent of little kids, that depresses me so much. We're all in a pot that is boiling more than ever before in this country, with far too many choosing the side of those who choose to use their supporters and play them for total fools, only to the benefit of those in power.
I know I've said this before, but the recurring thought that frustrates me endlessly is that these people - the Q people and rabid Trump supporters, the militia people, etc. - their mentality is that they're protecting America from something internal, but they never realize what their actions do externally. We look so weak, we look so lost, we look so divided, we look so ripe for being exploited for all of this.
Is that patriotism? Is that exceptionalism? Is that "winning?" Is that pride?
I just can't imagine demonstrating so much visible weakness to our adversaries. My mind just can't compute what a thrill that behavior is and the irony of what it projects.
Suffice to say, I've never been as scared for this country as I am these days.
