Remember when we had integrity as a country?

Now (thanks to the pile of rubble that remains of the Republican Party,) we all feel like we’re living in some twisted reality TV show. A show where the reality we encounter is being manipulated to inflict the most psychological damage short of a mass march off of a cliff.

I am never surprised at how morally stunted some people can be when they can’t foist their reality on the populace. We’re a nation of individuals, so the notion of “I’m right and you’re wrong” and “follow me – I know what’s best for you” tends to go over like a fart in the chapel for those of us with a lick of common sense.

Instead, life is minimized to a commodity that can be taken away at the blink of an eye, rather than respected, cherished and valued.

Caring and hope have run out for many. How does that support us as a civilization?

I know there are many of you out there who are as tired as I am of the blood-letting that our democratic process has become. And, thanks to the pompous traffic cone of a Republican nominee, there exists the real chance that there won’t be anything left of our society to rebuild from when he loses in 6 days.

But, alas, there are 4 years until the next “purge.”

I’m just hoping that we purge enough of the psychopaths and sycophants from the government during this go-around to let us rebuild our great society.
