Well, if I were an alarmist I might say,
"We are well and truly fucked." Latest news flowing from D.C. is all bad, mega-stupid, quite confounding & concerning. The Tech-Bro Barbarians are at the gates, no, in fact, they are locked in offices,
accessing the holy grail of our Treasury Department computers. "Soft Coup?" What does a Humble Pilgrim think of it all?
"Not good." And of course the Absolute Imbecile in Chief is continuing his campaign of misery and idiocy. As one of my friends remarked to me yesterday afternoon:
"It's going to be a long 4 years." Yes. It seems like a lifetime has flashed past our eyes already. We have unleashed the forces of "fucked-up-ness," in our little land. It is a stress-test for our Democracy, our Sanity, and our Good Cheer.
I must credit the Tank Girl reference to Rebecca Solnit.
Check out her useful and somewhat encouraging thread on Blue Sky here: "But I like the surly noncooperation and insubordination I'm seeing. Let's feed and water it and remember that resistance takes many forms. Some quiet and subtle. Some civil disobedience, some lawsuits, some campaigns, strikes. Maybe some new forms yet to emerge." - Rebecca Solnit
