comment on current affairs*

ghastly and grotesque.

i wonder how one man has apparently inspired so much support for so little that is decent and admirable. i wonder how a party that is so deeply divided can survive the dysfunction. i think that surely the truly brave and the really free will stand by what they say they hold dear and not desecrate it in the name of their freedom. 

i also think about when people storm the parliament building of another country.** why not then the outpouring of outrage and grief that i see now?
