Yeah, all right, let me get this out of my system.
It's tempting to say there are no words, but there are plenty. Shock. Disgust. Shame. Anger. Humiliation. Despair. Disbelief.
I can't believe it. Not just that that orange shitstain is back but that more than half the grown-ass adults of this troubled nation, some of them otherwise decent and intelligent people, gleefully put him there. That is so damning. It says everything about who we are. I am aggrieved and ashamed and I cannot hold my head up high.
What in the actual goddamn fuck are we doing.
I'm sorry, world. I'm sorry, women and immigrants and non-whites and non-Christians and LGBTQ folks. I'm sorry, reason and decency and progess. I'm sorry.
The universe is fundamentally chaotic, Evangelical Christians are full of shit, and that tangerine toddler can rot in hell.
