    Ugh…I was going to make a joke about how respect and dignity didn’t sound right for this country.

    Then the punchline was going to be an 1800s era version of ICE. But as I tried as I could, I just couldn’t make it funny. I just kept trying to rework the joke, but no matter how I tried it, I just got angrier and angrier, because it’s a real thing that actually is happening.

    Fuck Earth.

      The idea that America ever had a moment of respect and dignity only exists in mythology.

      Pretending it happen allows us to pretend it can happen again. Reality is too dark. Embrace the anger or end up forever queued for the comforting lies.
