I have to stop thinking "I can't believe..." every time I come across a new US Poli headline.
Of course there is a golden Mount Rushmore monument with Trump's head on display at Mar-a-Lago.
@sand I didn’t quite know what to expect this 2nd time, but it is so much worse. Someone told me they unplugged to avoid all news, but I can’t do that. I read the news & listen to podcasts daily. Despite knowing this was going to be bad, I had no idea how bad. I had that same thought yesterday—I have to stop being surprised. It’s hard to believe the pettiness, cruelty, ignorance, racism.. until I think about US history, and it’s not. It just feels like old times.

@biped808 same same. I thought it would much like the first term as well. But he managed to crank it up a few notches. Now it's seeping into sports and entertainment and every other aspect of life. His antics are unavoidable it seems unless you live alone in a forest.
It's worse this time. And just when you think it can't get worse, he surprises you with more pettiness, cruelty and ignorance.
I don't know how "normal" people can be happy and positive. I mean you seem pretty put together and even you're showing signs of fatigue lol
@sand Yeah, it’s like it’s always in the back of my mind now. But I’m trying to function like things are normal. Work, school, living life (for now)…
@sand All the imperialist and colonial thinking is disturbing but not unfamiliar. I get tense when I hear the rhetoric around Canada, Greenland, taking back the Panama Canal. Gulf of America, Mt. McKinley. I have always felt like a colonized person as someone born and raised in Hawaii. I never really identified with being American, though I accept that we are. I always identify with being from Hawaiʻi. Just rambling now. Heh.
