“I’m losing it because I know too much and cannot deal with the stupidity that surrounds me.”
On this we agree 1000%. It was in that vein that I replied because the thing that causes me to “lose it” is what I see as childish impatience that has evolved into a FR meme - nothing happens fast enough to suit some FReepers and every post is of the “are we there yet” type. I sincerely apologize as that’s not you, and it’s always wrong to generalize and jump to conclusions based on limited data. I do know better.
I also agree that many of our elected officials including those you mention and more, are frustrating in the extreme. They talk, and we get all excited when they talk big stuff like Graham did at the Kavanaugh hearing, but then they go right back to form, doing nothing of substance. That was my point about how no single man can be expected to turn things around as quickly as they need to be turned-around. When I think of those in government who I feel can absolutely be relied on to put the country first and do the right thing without hesitation, it’s a pretty short list. Fortunately I have faith that there are many good men and women behind them, we just don’t know their names.
Your personal experience is pretty terrifying, I can think of few worse things than having your life invested in a business that is threatened by a mob and the law is kneeling for protesters/rioters.
Other than apologizing for what I think is a valid argument but not relevant to your situation, all I can say is to try to have faith that as Q says, “God wins” in the end.
