This is not how I thought my
blogging adventures would go.
About 6 weeks before the 2016 US
election, I got caught up in the presidential race news cycle. I couldn't
tear myself away, and gave in to the temptations of the gutter that became the
lead up to November 9, 2016. Then Trump got elected and the nightmare
began.
I've been caught up in thinking and
talking about politics and public policy, and it’s like an addiction
now. I’m doing my part in calling my members
of Congress, educating myself, showing up, helping to organize others…but I
have lost my creative impetus in all of this, and my ability to focus on work for
a few measly hours a week. It’s
pathetic.
Donald Fucking Trump is ruining my
life. Tomorrow that treacherous, misogynistic,
racist narcissist psychopath will be inaugurated, and soon his nightmare of a
cabinet will be approved by the 51 Republicans in the Senate. What a bunch of greedy cowards. When did greed become the #1 American creed?
It feels like the end of days. I have to unplug and get on with my
life. After the Women’s March on
Saturday, I will seriously stop reading and listening to the news, and get back on track
with my own goals. Otherwise, the
terrorists have won.
The planet is so screwed, it makes the imminent demise of the democracy seem insignificant.
