I Hope I'm Wrong

On inauguration day, I noticed something small and brightly colored on the floor behind a cabinet. Then I realized that it was my "I Voted" sticker. 

       Every night since the election, I've had nightmares. They've only gotten worse. I don't know how this country can survive Trump, Musk and entourage. In two and a half short weeks they have swept through one governmental department after another and no one seems able to stop them. Steve Bannon calls it their “flood the zone” strategy.  

        There seem to be no checks and balances. Musk’s Ketamine behavior has concerned me most even before the election. He is not only profiting from his unelected position, but by all reports “indifferent” to “gleeful” about the lives he’s destroying. Even Head Start had to shut down.  

         Now, finally, people are beginning to protest. But what good will this do? This has not been a partisan problem. Everyone should have seen it coming. How can the United States survive this? I took the back off my sticker and stuck it on the wall. But it's lopsided like a sinking ship. I did not watch the inauguration.
