If Only Someone Could See This Coming....

Please see this blog post of mine at the literary magazine Ghost Parachute (2017).

Today is March 8, 2026. 

I cannot believe that I've been saying the same damn thing for over 10 years. 

I have responded as best as I could so far given the minority situation I've been in as an "early adopter" of Trump-as-Authoritarian. 

For such a young, vibrant 46 years of age, I'm jaded sometimes beyond belief, so much so that I've been known to say "Americans are getting exactly what they deserve" and "Some Americans are such dumbasses it's no wonder America is in the state it's in and that most of the world currently hates America."

Those are my worst moments. We all have them.

I never wanted this particular soapbox. However, the short advice I give in the aforementioned blog post is a good starting point when circumstances make it such that we are lying with dogs and may get fleas, as they say.
