People say, ‘If Trump is reelected, America is fucked’.

But I gotta tell you. I’m feeling like we’re pretty much fucked already.

One big reason - outrage fatigue. Mrs. FBW, who started watching the news religiously after Trump was elected, has now stopped watching it entirely. I think initially it made her feel like she wasn’t alone in her anger and dismay, that there were tens of millions who felt the same.

Now, 2 1/2 years later, it just makes her anxious without any feeling of power.

Meanwhile, Trump just keeps going. Remember about 6 months back, when we felt we’d scored a victory because Kirsten Nielsen resigned and DHS was going to end the child separation policy?

So, how do things look now? They look worse, don’t they. Trump runs into resistance and makes a feint at retreat, then just keeps going. Weak people who compromised their humanity resign and are replaced with genuinely horrible people.

And everyone trying to resist this gets worn out.
