Let Us Remember

Let us remember what our country used to be. We had something resembling representative government. We had ideals, however often we failed at them. We had people who worked for a living and were fairly rewarded. Those who benefited the most generally contributed more and were held to account, at least in principle.

All of it is gone.

The country is run by thieves. We don’t even aspire to live well. We aspire to have and consume more, and make out at the expense of others. With malice towards all, charity for none. Don’t bother with the cemetery. You can mourn right from home. Our entire society is ashes, an immoral enterprise run by and for crooks.

Put flowers on graves if you want. Nothing can atone for the dishonor of Trump.
