what is even left to say about the state of institutional collapse in the United States? too much talking about the obvious things. not enough talking about what comes next. how are we expected to build the future when the past won't let us move on?

the dickhead in the big office won the election (kinda, mostly)! remember that. what happens if we have another vote? we gonna get another dickhead? would you prefer a more high-functioning dickhead who appeals to the same political/social/tribal impulses?

or maybe you want a dickhead of the opposite polarity. does that prospect warm your heart? make you feel safe and secure? you really think it's the case that only half of the country is twisted and broken? hahahaha.

Why would I be thinking about 'the future of the country,' which I can't affect? Getting emotionally invested in stuff you can't change is a recipe for anxiety. I can effect change locally; try to make things better for me and my family, day by day. I'll focus there.

your own family's future _is_ the future of the country.

if more people were honest about what matters and admitted that their own familial self-interest is the most legitimate concern in their life we would have a better society. too many people worrying about how other people live, and concern themselves with policing the baddies.
