This isn’t a mere difference of opinion, nor is it a manageable give-and-take between liberal and conservative or whatever labels can be slapped on someone’s political stance.
It is, rather, blatant awfulness on full display. It is abject failure and incompetence in need of being called out. This is about naming intentional evil, ignorance, deceit, neglect, self-interest, power grabs, delusions of grandeur, and deprived childhoods that have mushroomed into skewed worldviews and irrational hate.
We’re watching as this all plays out before us. And as abhorrent as many say it is, it just keeps happening. It’s a cancer, a toxic ooze that’s finding its way into cracks in the foundation.
Imagine the balls it takes to step into an administrative role with little to no experience and then behave as if everyone should bow when you walk by. Every day the dynamic is one of bruised egos and kids in candy stores. In Donald Trump’s case, add bull in a China closet.
The folks at MS Now are apoplectic on a daily basis, taken aback by the bald-faced lying, the unabashed attempts at sabotage and destruction of long held norms and Constitutional provisions. Meanwhile, the crew at Fox News is seemingly luxuriating in the afterglow of jobs well done, still wondering what all the fuss is about among “Dumbocrats,” yelling and swearing at Haitian immigrants to get the fuck out of America and return to a homeland that’s on fire with gang violence and rampant poverty.
No, this is nowhere close to a mere difference of opinion. This is more like watching the shining city on the hill being taken to the cleaners, being reduced to a smoldering pile of shattered dreams and empty promises. Though, maybe our dreams need to be made of sterner stuff than a chicken in every pot and some shallow, endless pursuit of… happiness?
