Complete clusterfuck
Trump continues to ignore the outrage of the people, and the people get more and more angry as he goes full steam ahead with careless, insane, and borderline sociopathic policies. This is terrifying, and I am losing sleep over it.
I spent hours playing Stardew Valley last night. It's a quaint little game that is very addictive, and for a few hours, I felt okay. I felt numb. It was like drinking in that respect, the nagging little ache of a beast running the government was gone. But then, I went to bed, and I had to think about it again. Think about how many people are going to die. How many protests will eventually escalate into riots, putting police into a situation where they are going to have to do things they really don't want to do, to protect a man who does not have their best interests at heart.
I can't project what will happen. I do know that unless he is removed from office soon, things will get ugly. I can't project beyond that. I'm generally pretty good at projecting- I take pieces of information and come up with the most likely outcome, but this, this is completely beyond me. It's aberrant. Logic, creativity, even imagination fails to predict what is the most likely outcome here, as it's just... Insanity.
I try to see a silver lining, and that is that the American public is awake. Obama put them to sleep. Everything was fine, and it was like falling asleep on the bus. You can trust that your bus driver is going to get you along just fine. You might have minor petty issues with the asshole sitting next to you snoring or being obnoxious on their phone, but overall, you know things are going to be okay. But then, a new bus driver gets on, visibly intoxicated, texting, and snorting cocaine off the steering wheel. He's there because he literally bought the bus company, and despite having never driven a bus, claims he's an expert bus driver. The former bus driver was a bus driving instructor with years of experience who knew the city like the back of his hand, and helped even edit some of the bus routes. This new bus driver informs you he's going to only stop at two stops in affluent neighborhoods, completely skip all the other stops, and kick anyone who isn't white off the bus.
That's just what this feels like. And I can't even. I can't even believe there's people who think he's sane, or doing the right thing anymore. I mean, people aside from neo nazis. Hell, the alt right isn't neo nazis- they can hold their own in a fight. These little pukes are whiny shits from the internet who have never been in a fight in their life. Which is good, because they need to be beat down by real American heroes. I love that punching nazis is now a meme, and that little shit is spiraling out of control after being socked once- it wasn't even a real hard punch. Whiny little shit. But hey, now he knows everyone's laughing at him, and he's become the laughing stock of the internet. I just get frustrated about the in essence retaliation, of an alt righter who shot a protester and walked free. He needs to be in jail, and see how well he fares there.
Anyway, this country is a fucking mess, and it's really fucking up my calm. I'm trying to be supportive of all my friends who are dealing with depression, but it's pretty hard when you're in the same boat.
Germboy, out/Peace.
