Hateful

Until it happens, we dread it and think it can’t happen. The shooting in Minneapolis a couple days ago has triggered unrest and righteous anger, but it has also focused attention on the thing we feared perhaps more than anything—ICE agents killing someone and being shielded from facing any kind of consequences. As if it is always going to be the victim’s(s’) fault.

This administration and the media who support it are an ugly stain, a stunning, aberrant departure from sanity and good judgment. They instill fear, they are driven by the worst of intentions, and are doing their utmost to cast a pall over the nation.

There is no joy in Mudville. Nothing but a call to resist, and most likely a call to arms. I hate going there, but when insufficiently trained bigots and lemmings fueled by a big payday are handed weapons and unleashed on citizens trying to go about their day, it can’t be long until things get out of hand.

Nice going, MAGA faithful. Did you think it would get this bad? It’s likely to get much worse.

Oh, that’s right. You apparently are loving this.
