Why? The more these things are documented in print and distributed to the public, the better.
It's still tiring, because any positive effect is maddeningly slow.
Imagine if one day there was a competent government keen to prosecute the myriad of bullshit this administration has done.
Don't ever lose that hope. There's already more than enough doomerism to go around, and we'll never get anywhere without at least a little bit of hope that things can get better.
Sorry.
I'm not American, I lost all hope that there was a way back for the US early this year.
I do have hope for the rest of the world, and for the youth of today.
I think they mean the media should have been stating this shit more often as it happens and not after the dust settles... people lose interest and are distracted way too easily.
So we respond by bashing the parts of the media who do actually publish it, even if they are later than ideal?
I’m tired in the sense of I’m frustrated not that I’m mad about it.
Something should have happened like 1000 news stories ago, when will accountability happen??
I swear if democrats take congress back and we don’t start to see heads roll it’s going to have to be riots.
