The problem is I want to do something but nothing all at the same time. Like my mind knows that I should maybe read or paint, but I just don’t feel like doing that. I know that I should want to hang out or call my friends and family, but I just can’t seem to want to. The amount of anger I feel toward the world right now is so immense that trying to have normal conversations is actually hard.
This weekend we went pumpkin picking with some friends. Just on the way there from the second we got on the highway the entire hour drive was a trump parade. There were cars with “RIP C. Kirk” stickers, ridiculously hateful “left/democrat stickers, giant flags and flashing lights.
Instantly my mood shifted. I went from anxious but excited because I love this little farm, to please don’t let these people be going to the same place I am. One thing about me is that I have a zero tolerance for racism. You will not get away with making remarks or doing anything like that around me because I ALWAYS call it out. I don’t want to escalate situations around families with their small children, but I will do what is necessary.
The other feeling was pure embarrassment. In what world is it normal to fly flags with the sitting presidents face on your car with giant American flags? In what world is it normal for the right to say some of the most ridiculous things about the left and vice versa? Since when are they allowed to just pure smear campaigns against one another? This is way beyond unprofessional, and these are government officials. Why are people going so hard for someone that does not care about people in their tax bracket?
I am just left constantly disappointed in the way people respond to anything currently going on in this country. Listening to people jump through hoops to justify things is infuriating at this point because WHY!? Like do you hear how you are speaking about another human being?! There are right ways to do things and wrong ways to do things. You are allowed to believe in whatever you want but when you start to do things inhumanly, it needs to be shut down. When people are scared to leave their homes because of how they look and people are terrified that the military is going to break into their homes, we are doing something wrong.
At some point people need to start opening their eyes and realize a human is a human. Our government has fed us propaganda to hate certain groups of people that they are exploiting for their natural resources. We need to as a collective care about each other. I will say it a million times, we are too advanced as a society for the citizens to be struggling the way that they are.
