I hope I don't hate "America". Hate can be self-destructive. But I am very sorrowful and angry about what the USA is becoming. I am angry and sorrowful that it seems unable to pull itself out of its 41 year-morass, and that it has allowed the Destructive Party to foist a group of Lords upon us who could keep us going backwards for another 30 years unless the people rise up and curtail and reform it. I would have thought the USA would not have a House of Lords. But we have 6 Lords who are dictating to us that only the market can resolve our needs. It is telling us that we have no freedom to decide on our way of relating to our bodies and to each other. It is telling us that we must allow the anti-vaxxer idiots to dictate health policy to us. It is telling us that we have no right to democracy; that we must return to the 18th century, or earlier; in fact that any progress is outside the range of our traditions. I am sorrowful and mournful that our rural and exurban citizens have the ability to foist these 6 or more Lords upon us and shackle us to the past. No day was sadder than the day I witnessed that Donald Trump had bamboozled 77,400 people in 3 formerly-blue states to turn traitor and vote us into what I knew could be the end of our country and our civilization.
