No, I really don’t. I acknowledged in my post that I may be looking at those years with nostalgia, but that’s due to how awesomely shitty things are going these days.
The list does go on…
Now we can add to it millions of American losing the healthcare they got during the Obama years, a return to preexisting conditions being a reason to deny coverage, the intent to destroy Social Security, immigrant families being split apart, children in camps, departure from the Paris Agreement, trade wars, turning our backs on our allies, a fucking horrible excuse for a human being in the oval office, a good possibility of Russian influence throughout our government, the rise of the cry “FAKE NEWS”, the introduction of “ALTERNATIVE FACTS”, a government actually considering (last I heard) handing Americans over to the Russians for “questioning”, the Puerto Rico debacle (that’s still in a shitty shape) and their total unpreparedness for any upcoming disaster, a rise in the legitimacy of fascism and American Nazis, Trump having sex with a porn star while his wife was pregnant and everyone on the right apparently fine with that, because “reasons” I guess…
So let me clarify… I don’t want either Bush back to run this nonsense better than the current crop of assclowns are running it; and for people that seem to be incompetent, they sure are managing to hang in there like a penicillin resistant strain of gonorrhea.
I would be willing to go back to either Bush era and live through it again rather than be here while everything falls apart.
BUT! That’s not possible. Here we are. The only way out is through. What do we do? If the machines we use to vote on are compromised, then voting alone isn’t doing to do it.
Nah, they sucked. But this sucks more. Back then I could normally face a day without feeling dread as soon as my feet hit the floor. Now it hits me as soon as my eyes open, as I wake up wondering what today will bring.
