I’m in a very dark place right now. He’s never held to account for anything and I just don’t see this being any different. It’s so depressing that I just want to pull the covers over my head. The hardest thing about the Trump years has been a realization that the good guys don’t win anymore. I was raised on some ridiculous notion that the guys in the white hats always win. The Trump era has put all of that to a lie. He’s the very worst of us and yet he has been elevated to the highest office in the land. He has shown Americans to be ignorant and vulgar — because our leaders represent our national character. There have been many times in my life that I have been ashamed to be an American, but never more so now.
