I know a lot of people are getting a kind of morbid joy out of the Trump situation. I don't blame them, it's a natural reaction. And I'll admit that early on I felt some similar twinges. But now it all just makes me sick. Very nearly physically sick. And that's the truth.
@lauren Yes, sickened is about the best way to put it. Exhausted from seven years of unbelievable nonsense that would have gotten exactly nowhere in the 1960s when we still had reasonable and principled people in government.
Sad and very disappointed in humanity, but no longer mystified over what happened in Germany in the 1930s. It wasn't a fluke. Humans have this in them. It's all very disturbing.
Revenge is a thought but I don't do revenge. It's mentally and spiritually unhealthy to the "revenger". And in Trump's case, revenge would accomplish nothing because he's mentally ill and would misinterpret the whole thing.
I'm left with an empty sadness. I just want to never see or hear his name again. I want him gone, banished to Elba.
@shuttersparks @lauren heartily agree it’s really devastating to see what has become of American government in my lifetime.
