What are we doing?
It’s a question I have asked myself often in the last few months. And I don’t know the answer.
November 5th – What are we doing?
January 20th – What are we doing?
Last Friday – What are we doing?
Last night – What are we doing?
And so many times in between those days.
I’m at such a loss that I also ask myself, “Am I missing something?” I ask myself that because I have so many friends – so many – that support the man. And not just support like, “hey I’m a Republican. I’ve always been a Republican, my daddy was a Republican, my granddaddy was a Republican…” These friends are like, “He is going to save the world and only he can fix it” full blown maga folks. And I know these people, many for years. I’m friends with these people. I thought I knew their heart but I cannot come close to understanding their support of someone that I think is against all of my values and is working to destroy our country just to enrich himself. (Full disclosure – I voted for McCain. I voted for Romney. I voted for Bush once. I voted for Bill Clinton. And yes, I voted for Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris)
So, am I missing something? Have I become blind to whatever good is supposedly happening by giving this man and his minions power again? Or is it, as I have said many times, in twenty years you won’t find anyone who admits to supporting him because its going to be such a shit-show between now and then?
I don’t think I am missing anything. I try to stay as open as I can to conversation. I follow the advice I give others that when I hear something – I go and click on at least two more sources (of varying leanings) to try to gain perspective. Even by doing this it brings me no closer to the answer…
What are we doing?
and it’s very scary…
