“Cantankerous” doesn’t begin to cut it.
At some point, if it hasn’t happened already, there comes a realization that no amount of indignity or offense taken is going to register, or even matter. It seems the louder the cat calls and critique and outright anger, the more entrenched and ridiculous Donald Trump and Co. become. Miller and Vance and Trump himself feed off of our rage and become even more hideous versions of themselves.
The latest move we have to somehow absorb is removing MLK. Jr. and Juneteenth celebrations and adding Trump’s fucking birthday to the calendar. He’s playing now, or has been all along, just doing and saying things that drive us crazy and distract us from all the damage and the dearth of expertise running rampant in this sham of an administration.
Most Republicans in Congress have made it plain that they have no plans to counter the stupidity, and Democrats are hiding behind their status as minority, so it’s up to the rest of us to embrace the role of citizen and do our job.
Almost half the country thought Trump was a good idea, but that percentage has to be dropping. Is anyone else daring to imagine the possibility that all the gerrymandering ends up being for nought, because enough Republicans in these designer districts decide they, too, have had enough of the deception?
