I am so tired of being afraid of what those crazy people and Don will do.

Bush infuriated me. He was a buffoon and his daddy's cabel were liars who ran things to profit from, but I rarely was afraid of them doing something absolutely insane.

This batch? Don? I am tired of being afraid of him starting a nuclear war, harming so many in so many other ways, of the sheer what. the. fuckness of them. Of the cluelessness. Of the potential. Of the insanity.

It's difficult to realize it's only been one year. It's been a hell of a year.

Trump Show. Let's hope this show gets cancelled before Season Three due to lack of ratings.

I keep telling myself that there are true patriots that will do the right thing if push comes to shove and it hasn't yet. Self deception? Possibly but at least I can sleep at night.

I am just exhausted. Dread waking up every morning to whatever fresh hell this lunatic has unleashed during the night. I can't decide who I detest the most: him, the sniveling Republican traitors who prop him up, or the gullible nitwits who actually voted for the pack of them. I'm beyond sick of the entire nightmare. I want to wake up.

And to think there were some progressives who thought it didn't matter whether the R or the D won.
