Your 2nd paragraph describes how I feel precisely, Rowshan. It's crystal clear to me that we are losing our capacity, as a nation, to be shocked and horrified by crimes committed against us - from the financial and social crimes chipping away at our health and welfare to the wholesale oppression and murder of BIPOC by law enforcement, which goes on day after day, despite the cellphone video and bodycam evidence that should be more than enough to indict and convict the murderers. And, as if those things aren't enough, our leaders are promoting the wholesale, unlicensed, ownership of guns with the ability for John and Jane Doe to roam the streets armed and able to murder under the protection of Stand Your Ground laws.
In a "normal time" we would not have had a president pushing quack remedies to a nation suffering from pandemic; bellowing for four years that if he lost the election it's because he'd been cheated. And when he did lose, he doubled down and fomented hysteria amongst his faithful. On the 6th, a normal president would have ordered the lockdown of the Capitol and the insurrectionists would not have been able to leave the Capitol grounds - members of Congress who participated by providing information and access would have been removed from office, arrested and tried for treason. All of these things are signs of a broken, unhealthy society.
Whose United States of America is this? Blatant criminality goes unpunished, on all levels, day after day. It is beyond alarming. Those of us who seek change now beg and plead with our Representitives and Senators constantly for that change, but to no avail...Will we become petrified in time and space like small creatures in tree resin - fossilized because we were unable to stop the flow of atrocities and lawlessness?
Beautifully put, Daria, and perfectly posed questions! Thank you! From now on I'll just wait for your post and reply in agreement with a huge, upper case DITTO!😉
