Anyone else just utterly exhausted, beyond frustrated, and at a total loss?

I've posted very little here lately because, truthfully, I can't even form thoughts about the insanity we've been witnessing for a long time. We don't watch TV at all, so the only news I absorb is that which is brought here to DU, and on Slate, TPM and a bit of the NYT (though their Op Ed section is just drowning in bothsideserim and false equivalence).

From a court/justice system that seems rigged, bizarre beliefs in everything BUT science (all to own the libs, apparently), a nearly completely ineffective media that is either getting totally played by the right wing noise machine or just doing the bigging of their right wing, corporate owners, to a press and way too much of the public that is in the throes of TFG - they can't quit him (likely because of the income generated) - and this is before I even turn my brain to what we (our species, not just the US) are doing to the world/environment.

In my 65 years, I can't remember such a moment - when up is down, when lies are more accepted than truth - hell, when truth has become completely devalued. I just feel like those of us that are sane, that have empathy and common sense, that can understand things beyond 2 or 3 word memes or slogans, that can deal with the genuine complexity of issues - are becoming marginalized - shrunk - at rapid speed before our very eyes.

Try as I might, I can't really see a way through this, because unpunished crimes in broad daylight and the fallout from them are moving at a far faster rate than the slow grinding of (what we are all hoping would be) justice. Things are being broken far faster than they are getting fixed. We simply don't seem to have a way - an effective messaging system, effective political processes - to reverse this feeling of complete FUBAR. It feels like "they" are getting their way must more effectively than "we" are - and hell, we won the presidency and have the senate and house. I did NOT foresee this at all.

So - had to get that off my chest, because my typically optimistic self is finding it hard to be typically optimistic. The lunatics are running the asylum. Norms are being broken and modified - we are being dragged backwards to dark times - in fact, to some times that have only existed in the imaginations of those dragging us back.

Rant over...for now.

3. Only Thing Keeping Me From Moving Elsewhere, Are My Parents

I fear that at 55, my options become more limited each day.

But I refuse to leave while my parents are still alive. They're in their 80's.

I really do not like it here, and I expect it to only get worse. Whatever sense of optimism and hope I once had for myself or the future, has vanished.

I realize those on DU are trying their best to make this a country worth living in, but the other side is too prevalent and powerful. I don't see any chance of normalcy for decades to come.

I'd rather not be known as a citizen from America. We're certainly an embarrassment worldwide at this point. We just don't see it while we're here, but I now completely understand why we're hated around the world.

 :whatever:

I have to agree.

Hundreds of "Genders". Which, btw, is nothing more than giving sexual deviants "palatable" names.

The lunatics are running the asylum.

Who's got the stolen White House, the House, and the Senate?  You're damn right the lunatics are running the asylum. 

Here's that infuriating DUmmie who thinks that gas prices are no big whoop and that inflation is a product of radio brainwashing:

4. It's like we've fallen into an instant new dark ages

It truly is mind boggling and frightening.

From the thread, it's amazing the number of them who get their information solely from DU.  No wonder so many of them had never heard of "Let's go Brandon" until it was sitting in their lap. 

Get a load of this post:

54. I smoke way more weed not than when I did

during the Donald Trumps administration, because I knew he was lazy but now I am anxious more cause I don't want to constantly hear about Krysten Sinema having little fits and stalling out Joe Biden's plans for a country where the other side wants to burn down rather than have nice things!

87. I shed tears every single day.

I think some of us understand more than others exactly what we are losing and have already lost. Life is never going to be the same as it was before Trump, and until he is no longer a threat, I won’t feel safe.
   :-)

It's a lovely thread full of lefty tears.

Let's do the quick math: Democrats control the Presidency and both houses of Congress.  And you're complaining about being frustrated and exhausted?  Suck it up and put your big boy panties on.

Yup, just like NAMBLA tried to use the court arguments homosexuals used in the 90's to get legal status, now we have MAPs (don't look it up, just trust, its for minor attracted person) jumping into the alphabet soup crowd for acceptance.
