But this dumpster fire we find ourselves in feels wholly unnecessary. It feels like it could have been avoided. But maybe not. Maybe it is necessary. This feels like a reckoning. I live in America. A country where a racist, xenophobic, homophobic, hate-mongering reality TV star can go up against the most qualified person to ever run for office and win. A country where a hapless idiot of a man can share a stage with a woman who has spent thirty years in public service, competing for the same job, AND WIN. Land of the fuckboys, home of the ridiculous.
