Numb

I find it absurd that the President is doing so much bad I no longer have the capacity to feel any more.

why do they pretend that this is still a democracy when it is falling apart right before their eyes?

why does each side blame the other while not taking accountability for their own actions?

I find that infuriating. Utterly infuriating.

yet so many are all so numb and have stopped caring.
