    The picture you painted frightens me because I know we’re heading there. I’m trying to remain hopeful that we can still stop this insanity.

      Yeah, I’m somewhat paralyzed by it myself. It feels mean to spell it out like this, but fuck… I just cannot just let this rattle around in my head for any longer.

      There is some cold comfort to know others see this too, that I’m not just driving myself crazy.

        I think the majority are against it. Unfortunately, there is as long history of minorities leading and oppressing majorities.

        And just to clarify, I’m not referring to minorities like blacks or hispanics. I mean like rich, old, white guys. Or MAGA in the Republican party. Or whites in apartheid. That sort of thing. The majority of Americans didn’t vote this in, the majority of VOTERS did.
