i am serious

at least five times a day, maybe more, i step back and look at headlines, quotes, tactics, strategy, and i cannot believe we are doing this

that this is really happening
that this idiocy has to be defended, addressed, countered, replied to, given the barest of legitimacy

that 40% of the country buys this shit

that a senator and secretary of state is not light years ahead of a zero political experience, demonstrable congenital fire hose of a liar
