Optimism has pretty much left my body right now. If it's not the MAGA people themselves causing chaos, it's the SC. I took this country for granted most of my life. I just assumed it would always be there for me and others. I'm a Boomer and never, ever thought we'd have to worry about fascists again after WWII. At least, not in the US. I was brought up in a Republican family, but they were farmers in the Midwest and that was back in the days where the GOP wasn't full of crazies and wanna be Hitlers. I was never political like I am now. That started in 2008 when the Evangelicals endorsed McCain and I knew I'd never line up with them. I loved Obama and have voted Dem every since. Trump made me nauseous from the start and I didn't know what I know now about him. It caught me by surprise that we have so many Americans that are in a cult and so uninformed. I also naively thought that racism was better when Obama was elected since obviously whites had to vote for him too to win the election. Boy, I was so wrong. All that did was fester the underlying bigots/racists in this country. Now it's bubbled over. I'm frightened and anxious about where this country is headed. Trump isn't the main problem. He's the head of the snake - there's still the rest of the snake. If he died tomorrow, there would still be chaos in this country. He's so stupid that you know that these ideas of becoming a fascist country aren't coming from him. He has plenty of enablers that are much smarter than he is.
