Gaslighting and the price good people pay for confronting the latest American tragedy
Raw StoryI’d be lying if I didn’t admit to being at least mildly jealous of the people who refuse to give modern-day politics, and the sorry state of our fading nation the worry they so haughtily demand. I’ll see them during my rare visits to Facebook, and I swear to you, if the America-attacking Trump threatened imminent nuclear Armageddon, they’d be posting pictures of their trip to some Disney theme park with the snappy status update, “Life’s too short to sweat the small stuff …” These people seem completely disconnected from reality. Also on Thursday, Georgia’s appeal court which is made up of three Republican-appointed judges threw Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis off the rock-solid case she was making on behalf of Georgia’s voters charging the America-attacker of illegally conspiring to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state. To think the party that recklessly backs the women-attacking felon, and porn star-banging thug could take issue with anything to do with “inappropriate relations” is even richer than Musk himself … By any normal standards the whole thing is absolutely insane, and quite simply the public lynching of a Black woman with the audacity to try to stand up for what is good and right in this country. Here’s where I type that I am sympathetic to the tens of millions of people in America whose lives never improve much, if at all, no matter who inhabits our political infrastructure in Washington, D.C. It’s hard to care about the promise of a reservation at the table next year, when your stomach has been grumbling all your life.
