Ever-deepening Resentment

Every new instance of crossing some line is met with initial disgust, maybe disbelief, but then we move on to the next injustice.

The recent news out of Blue Ash, Ohio is particularly heinous and has fomented straight-up and immediate anger. ICE agents are rounding up Haitian immigrants and forcing them to make a choice—either wear an ankle monitor or deport—forcing people who are here legally and with no criminal record to either demean themselves or return to a place they left for good reason, a place with all the markings of a war zone and devolved chaos, a place that our government is strongly warning citizens to avoid.

I’m just gonna jump ahead here. How can died-in-the-wool Republicans, and even MAGA loyalists, still support this behavior, this warped, archaic, hateful mindset and philosophy of life? How can anyone support this rot, this manufactured fear, this trash heap of concentrated laziness and ignorance and mindless obedience?

The disgust is visceral, and the crossed line just keeps getting longer.
