What a metaphor for this administration
Yes.
And, this makes me really sad... The U.S. actually meant something, once. Ok, so it was a lie, built on seven kinds of violence, hate and discrimination, but it was a nice dream to cling on to anyhow. A vision of a land, a place, where a person coming from low means could accomplish great things.
Americana, rock'n'roll, coca-cola, burgers and fries, apple pie, drive-in movie theatres and three gallon hats. Sky scrapers higher than anywhere else unabashedly reaching for the stars, shining million-dollar celebrity grins, big cars, big steaks, scientists with little more than slide rules and big brains building rockets taller than the length of a football field that could fly to the moon, and long long roads stretching across the wide-open plains towards blue-hazed mountains in the far distance.
All that stuff... Where did it go?
The big cars are now big, stupid, useless lifted pickup trucks "rolling coal", there's angry hateful men screaming pure bile about poor people coming from other countries on both TV and the internet, when the U.S. itself was founded and built by immigrants. Experts are idiots, while regular people with
gut feeling are the new experts.
And an orange moron, who wanted to spend countless billions on an ineffectual wall based on nothing but lies, which ends up falling over in the wind. Such a waste.
Such a god damn waste!
