The news this morning is distressing, terrifying, even. It is infuriating to read a site like Metafilter where it is viewed so intensely through American eyes that much of the discussion so far is about Democrats being better. As though it matters? As though they are? But I have just read that discussion coming from a podcast episode about the foundation of America in racism.
I am sorry I will never read the histories written about this time in the future, if there even is a future, which seems less likely by the day.
