Struggling

 I don't know why I struggle to put my thoughts into words these days, but I do.  Most of the time I am just feeling disgust and anger about what I see in this world. The unfiltered, vile hatred that people feel empowered to spew like a boiling teapot left unattended.  It is no surprise seeing as how we had a President who was so adept at sharing his own vile and hateful rhetoric.  Common decency just doesn't exist. I spend a great deal of time trying to figure out how this "new normal" sustains itself and my finger lands on social media.  It has created a safety zone that allows people to show themselves as they are without any immediate consequence.  The power of anonymity. Oh, how I long for the days of political correctness even if it was only a delusion. Or maybe just my delusion that people were better than what they truly are due to a societal floor monitor.  Well Trump certainly removed my rose-colored glasses and has forced me to see the ugliness that still prevails.
