I am disgusted with people right now. I am especially disgusted with our nation. I cannot stand Donald Trump, who I will henceforth refer to as dump. I cannot believe so many people actually voted for his dumb ass and through our antiquated way of doing things in this country, he won the election in 2016. He didn’t win the vote but he won the election. Now it is 2020 and he is still in office, even after being the worst president imaginable. So what if the economy is good, well, supposedly good. It is only good for some–the rich–not all. I think it is so-so for the vast majority of us. Shitty still, for too many. Yeah, jobs are up but there still isn’t enough good jobs to go around. People have to work 2 or more jobs to make ends meet or get ahead…or work a whole lot of overtime if they are lucky enough to get it. Wages, well wages still suck but supposedly they are keeping pace with inflation (or just about). I think I heard that. It doesn’t feel like it. The rest of the country is in the toilet. We are a divided nation. Too many people are ignorant and don’t value education, though even if they did, our education system sucks. Higher education is too costly and the payoff isn’t there any more. Healthcare sucks–to many going without care they need, too many vulnerable people. And too many people don’t care. They just don’t care. Their attitude is, “I got mine,” so basically fuck the rest. Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers. Oh, I hate religion too. Our country is filled with hypocrites and Christians are the worst of them. And dump and all his followers (I call them trumphumpers), they like to think they are the best Christians and want our nation to be held to their values…only their values suck. They are judgmental and tribal. They are xenophobic values, racist values, sexist values. They want to take us back the “the good old days” of the 1950s only they don’t care that those good old days weren’t so good for everybody. Viva la oppression, viva la patriarchy, (fuck) baise la liberté!! We only want freedom for those that believe in Jesus, white Jesus, the patriarchy, and rich men, (big business/corporations)and capitalism (the almighty Dollar) as our true ideal. Keep us ignorant and looking toward the imaginary Father in the sky for all the answers, and keep working, earning those almighty dollars to show yourself as a productive member of society. Yes, viva la stupidite aussi. But fuck the teachings of Jesus yet in Jesus’s name we pray.
So fucking done with American “values”–lets work hard for the man so the man can fucking screw us. That’s what were here for, isn’t it. To be screwed and only that. Grab ’em by the pussy.
Disgusting/Disgusted.
And,
frustrated.
Frustrated with myself for playing along with the system. Frustrated for being a good consumer and racking up debts. Frustrated I keep making the same mistakes. Frustrated I bought into the American dream but the dream had become a nightmare before I realized it.
Frustrated with life right now.
