Remember when our leaders inspired us?

I miss when politics was at least pretending to be civil. When policy wonks bored us on the evening news. When every new announcement from the White house DIDN'T send a thrill of fear or disgust through my veins.

goddammit i miss ... I hate myself for saying it but i miss my own ignorance, some days. but this is part of being a Grownup, that paying attention and speaking up in Troubled Times is what a Responsible Adult does, to try and prevent our Democracy from being carved up in bloody rags and sold off to the bidder who gives the best ass kissing to the Toad In Chief

That's reasonable, you know? Cynicism is often right, but *terrible* for getting inspired to make the world better.
