It is a terrifying time to be alive in America. If you're a conservative in the Midwest the commies are coming to take your guns.
If you're a progressive on the coasts the conservatives are on a full-frontal assault on our democracy. Either knowingly or as unwitting participants of a Russian propaganda scheme.
As a lefty growing up in a world of bible belt righties, it feels like the world is falling apart.
I am not religious. But all this Trump stuff reminds me of false prophets with golden statues. It's creepy.
Anyhow, as the end draws nye, the Democratic primaries sort out the one thousand candidates, this impeachment thing shakes out and whatever impending shitshow happens next in this world we live in happens — I'm sobered by one thought.
Presidents are servants not saviors.
Donald Trump is not coming to save your coal industry. He's not coming to save you money. He's not here to save you. No matter what he tells you. No matter what Fox tells you.
Biden is not going to save you either.
Bernie will not save you.
Kamala will not save you.
Warren will not save you.
They're supposed to serve. People serve at the pleasure of the President. The President serves at the pleasure of the people.
And until this pedestal we put our Presidents on is torched — this nightmare is going to continue.
