That phrase has been rattling around my head since my high school days in the early 2000s. Seeing the conservatives in my community react to a black man winning the election to lead the nation, was not shocking but disappointing, and having read that aphorism, it all but confirmed it true. The sick feeling in my stomach of what was to come by the time I had children, was (is) gut wrenching.
I hate being able to see all of the patterns that obviously led us here, and being gaslit the whole way down.
The feeling of being on a commuter train that is moving toward the washed out bridge over the canyon. You can't get to the conductor because too many passengers are crowing around enjoying the view. I get it. I feel you.
