Being in the internet all day, there’s one thing that’s clear as ever. This country has lost its soul. Five years ago on January 6th, when we had a president encourage his supporters to violently overthrow our government and then did nothing for hours, I thought to myself “well at least that’s the end of ever having that thing ever being relevant anymore.” Fast forward four years and he wins every swing state, so…so much for that.
Then it feels like there’s always a new low, and who knows where the bottom is. One day it’s threatening to overtake multiple sovereign nations, the next days it’s a a woman shot in the head 3-4 times by ICE while turning her car around (while they deny her any medical care). What will tomorrow bring? And so many people cheer these things that would have been thought to be unthinkable a decade ago. I have aunts, uncles, and cousins that are on the side of that, and I don’t know how to reconcile that.
I don’t even know what I’m getting at other than we are broken, and I don’t have any answers on how or if we can be fixed.
