“You maniacs! You blew it up! Damn you!” – Colonel Geoge Taylor, “Planet of the Apes”

Oh, I know. The sun comes up, the globe still spins.

I mean, I *am* a pessimist. I generally see the worst in things though my wife and son have helped with that.

But we’ve got a rapist felon heading back to the presidency and – if nothing shady happened – millions of folks put him there because this country just CANNOT fathom the concept of a female as president.

That’s it.

No policy arguments (there are none), no economic angle (Republicans ALWAYS fuck up the economy and yet always seem to get a pass on that). Ethics? Morals? Religion? The guy likely raped a 13 year old girl. You really want to go there Christians?

Nah, I just feel bad for the kids. My kid.

We collectively fucked their futures over in so many ways. And hell, their present to boot. A few will actually die from this, or be violently abused and harmed in ways we haven’t even thought of yet.

They deserve better. All of them. Instead they have us.
