It has come to my attention that I could not have found myself in much worse of a time. Having made a few trips outside, to the grocery store and the local library, I am lucky to report friendly people live in this city; however, my fear is entirely based upon the threat of the government. Newspaper, left for free on the library’s tables, was mine to rove as I poured through every ounce of news I could find.
What a strange, stupid man this country has elected in Donald J. Trump. Where are the democrats, when we obviously need them the most? Even reading the newspaper was like sweating through a fever dream, dissociating as sensationalized names (or more importantly, the lack thereof) chipped away at my focus. Is this the normal mode of operation in this day and age? I fear I now know things I should never have known, but missed the knowledge I sought…
On the plus side, I have heard reports of an annual women’s march on the Capital; perhaps, by the grace of God, they have a little more say these days. I was delighted, truly, to see one woman holding a transgender flag on the cover of the story, restoring a little of my faith against the pit of despair in my stomach. I shall frequent the library from now on, but perhaps I will seek other methods of taking in the news. If I can, in any way, connect with others through this site, then I may get some answers.
Stay sharp.
