Alone in an America that does not exist anymore
I’d say F- Trump but that’s not sufficient
Yesterday the MAGA monstrosity, the Big Bullshit Bill was passed. The great betrayal has taken another step forward. I had hoped that some would cave to their consciences or even to logic but my hopes were misplaced as these representatives caved to something stronger..,fear…greed….personal survival….and to the ever growing hatred of America.
My shock turned to anger. I was angry at Trump. I was angry at our representatives. I was angry at the maga idiots that are just too damn stupid to know they have gone too far. I was sad, I was in mourning for an ideal, a country that no longer exists. I was embarrassed by just how recklessly stupid our leaders and apparently half our nation are..I am very embarrassed. I am ashamed.
I am tired of writing my representatives who are already bought and paid for, I’m tired speaking truth to people who look at me like I have scales on my face. I’m tired of writing on Substack as it has not helped.
I feel like an observer of a crime. I am watching my country being manhandled and raped literally and I have no power to stop it. My voice does not scare the perpetrator, my reasoning will not save the victim. I cannot run. I am powerless to do anything but sit here and watch the violent and senseless act unfold in slow motion. I am alone


You are NOT alone. Virtually everybody I talk to, hang with, shares this thinking. It is frustrating, debilitating to no end. I will continue to lobby, write, march, hope, spend time in nature and doing things that keep me feeling alive not beaten. Hang in there.
