Sick & Tired

Yes, I am sick & tired. Sick & tired of the amnesia already setting in about how Donald Trump played on fear, hatred, and bigotry to stir up people with legitimate reasons to feel disenfranchised. I am sick and tired of the pretense that Donald Trump didn't get a great deal of his support by consistently and brazenly lying, lying about what he could and would do, lying about his opponents, even lying about what he himself had said. I am sick and tired of Donald Trump's intermittent tone of reasonableness, as if a calm voice and a speech read off a teleprompter erases all the megalomaniacal  ranting that went on during the campaign, and actually still goes on, usually via Twitter. I am sick and tired of being accused by Trump supporters of being "butthurt" (I have always hated that expression), that "Hillary won - get over it" and that we're all liberal crybabies when there are legitimate reasons to be wary of Donald Trump and indeed be fearful of what the country may become under his Presidency. I am sick and tired of the press being maligned and their competence and integrity undermined to the point that people will believe some nut who thinks the Jews are out to rule the world by way of blacks and that Sharia law is coming and that Obama hates America because he was born in Kenya and reflexively disbelieve the New York Times. I am sick and tired of facts being optional.

Sick.

And.

Tired.

Already...so very tired.
