Showing Original Post only (View all)I am so disillusioned. [View all]
Everything is corrupted; The Supreme Court, the Senate, and the Congress. 40% of the population are authoritarians and follow the words of a man who is insane. The country seems caught in a spiral of madness.
We as a nation can not even agree that every American citizen has the right to cast a ballot without having to navigate obstacles.
A good man like Joe Biden, who deeply wants to make the lives of Americans safer, fairer, and better is kneecapped by members of his own party.
It is so screwed up.

I often feel that way these days. Then I remember that that is how the Republicans WANT us to feel.
