I’ve Got Nothing...

Checking in folks. Mental health day today – doctor stuff, family stuff. All good.

All good.

But then I made the mistake of watching some video clips of Trump‘s cabinet meeting today as well as the press conference following.

I don’t even know how to respond or react anymore. We are through the looking glass, so deep in the hole we’re coming out the other side, in Superman‘s bizarro universe, so far gone that I’m speechless. The sickness, depravity, intolerance, ignorance, and sheer stupidity of our president and his team is, frankly, incomprehensible. Somehow, we need to find a way out.

The part I can’t understand is that knowledgeable and intelligent people – first and foremost, our conventional media – know everything that I stated above. But for reasons, both known and unknown, they are unwilling to confront these folks directly and/or report on them factually and objectively.

The other issue I’ve previously mentioned is public ignorance. Having knocked on thousands of doors I can confidently state, as I have in the past, that somewhere north of 80 to 90% of voters have no fucking clue. This also needs to be fixed but as hard as I’ve tried, I haven’t been able to come up with an answer yet.

Thanks for listening to my TED vent. I’ve been meaning to write some more about structural inequality and how moneyed corporate elites have absolutely rigged our system.

I’ll be back tomorrow, bright and chipper - eager to inform and ready to continue the good fight.
