You're jailed, lost everything, life altered...

And for what? For someone who never cared about you, never had a plan, and is not suffering except ego. Still rich.

When will be learn rich and powerful in politics always walk away scot free and we let them use us to do it. We make excuses for them just because they're using our 'side' and pretending to cater to us with empty, rabble-rousing rhetoric words

You seriously think trump's going to pay your legal bills??? He won't even pay his own. He shafts even people who've fallen on their swords for him. It's absolute madness to think he cares about anyone but himself.

You let other people and media tell you what to be outraged about

And that's insanity. Whatever they present to you for the day online, that's what you go with as your activist mission or outrage de jour. We've all been doing this and it's nuts. We go off about things we had no interest in or concern about the day prior, and don't even remember a few months later. Why?

They ask people what they think about what someone else said or posted and demand a reaction. What does it really matter what someone else thinks and why must others always weigh in? Take, for example, Naomi Osaka pullout. She said what she said, she gave her reasons, accepted the fine, and that should have been the end of it. But, no. It has to get talked to...

INTRO TO BOOK CONCEPT IN TYPICAL EXPOSITORY FORM - "Post-Progressive"

On January 7, 2021, Presidential Election Certification Day in the United States, I viewed scenes from the previous day's Capitol revolt in horror along with millions of other Americans. Reading my daily news feed, I saw photo after photo of a frenzied mob storming our country's most venerated federal building, penetrating its entry points in any way possible, in an attempt to disrupt the House of Representatives' business of officially naming Joe Biden 40th president of the United States. Angry, passion-fueled protestors armed with everything from signs and flags to zip ties, handcuffs, incendiary devices, and firearms had swarmed the building. They scaled walls and balconies, assaulted and pushed past Capitol guards, breached the chamber itself, and reportedly went on the hunt for any elected officials who hadn't managed to flee the building in fear for their lives. Some in the mob were even heard demanding the head of outgoing Vice President ____ Pence, who they by t...
