There are so many reasons to shake one’s head at Donald Trump and what he’s doing to our country. His cabinet are a bunch of sycophantic idiots, ruining the Fed, the Supreme Court, the CDC, the DOJ, efforts to encourage diversity, efforts to discourage racism, relationships with our traditional allies…seems like this sentence could go on and on.
Sometimes the destruction goes beyond the irreparable harm he’s doing to our country and its reputation. This week I am disgusted at what they are doing to discourage and cease any efforts to stop the ruination of our planet. The federal government and as many people and institutions in the USA as can feasibly help should get involved in supporting efforts to curb climate change. Do we still have people who believe climate change is a hoax? Are there still people that ignorant?
Why then discourage efforts at developing new energy sources like wind power? Why keep harping on the need to support the oil and coal industries? Is it because you think there are voters out there, or donors out there from those industries who will provide important support of some kind? If that is even true – is it more important than trying to keep our planet healthy for our children and our children’s children?
I’ve never been more pessimistic about the direction of our country. I don’t know what to do, how to help fight this narcissist and his minions. I don’t know how we will recover from four years of this destruction.
I never felt this way before – things done poorly by Bush, Clinton, Obama, Nixon, Reagan….none of those eras compare with what Donald Trump is doing and how it makes me feel.
Another glass of wine please.
