Numb

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

I have become 

numb

numb to the fact that this man has broken so many laws you can't even count them.

numb to the fact that no one in the government is doing anything. Hell, they shut down last week for no reason except: We can't agree so we will not do our job while still getting paid.

why?

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.

    I need to turn my ears off.

    I write stuff down, half-finished thoughts scribbled, or typed on the page.
