Watching the protests on television made me realize that we have no representation.Our elected officials care only for themselves retaining their power.Our country in being invaded and we can do nothing but watch it happen,and it is and will happen.
Yup.
The sad... tragic, really -- and scary -- damned scary part, is that there are some things that can be done to a country, that it simply cannot recover from.
The push is on, to SHOVE the country past that marker, beyond which there's no turning back. No turning back to the country we were, the culture we had, the legacy we hoped for. We are being dragged -- kicking and screaming, with voices that will NOT be heard -- into the "NEW" America.
All we can do is grit out teeth and cope with it. Our only consolation is that other defeated peoples have endured far worse fates than we are likely to face.
Still, it sucks. It really, really sucks.
