I am not gonna lie. I have thought a half million times ways to start writing here, documenting my rage and honest disbelief in the failure of the American public as a whole to act in a humane caring way for JUST 24 HOURS. But it appears all IS lost. I cannot with this fucked up country anymore that literally is allowing police officers to shoot black people WHO ARE FOLLOWING THE RULES. I don't know where to start with anyone; family, friend or foe, who somehow thinks they can justify any of this. At all. It's ridiculous and I cannot help but wonder if the people who watched the Nazis take power felt the way I do now. It is not ok to behave in this way. It is not ok to treat fellow Americans this way. It is not ok to allow elected officials to misrepresent us this way. WHAT DO WE DO? People will start doing random violent shit now. They have nothing to lose. Or very little to lose. Or worse, if they go to jail, they will at least have a dry place to sleep at night and a toilet to use. Yes, I am serious. This is a crisis. People are giving up. The next step is suicide bombers here. You know why? Because people who do not believe they have anything to live for, will die for any idea that gives them hope. Or worse, comfort. People don't blow themselves up just because they hope for a better afterlife - they do it because their current life is horrific, or desolate, or painful. So. As you watch the Republicans tear healthcare (and I didn't have it for a decade before the ACA) away from people, give tax breaks to big business and real estate moguls, and allow the 1% to crush its foot on our necks just a little bit more, people will start losing their shit. Because it's all that's left. They will lose their minds because they have nothing else. Not because of the opioid crisis, you idiots, because of the futility of being an American.
