I'm tired of being American.

Perhaps it's my age/generation, but there's no opportunity left. The boomers that can't afford to live on their retirement take all the decent jobs because they "have experience". The older generations treat us like babies but expect us to fill in for our parents when we have our own kids to take care of. Meanwhile they keep taking from kids, taking away any help and I keep hearing them say they don't care what they leave behind.

I'm sure they're tired. We're all tired. But some of us are still trying to do the right thing and make it.

Meanwhile the system only supports the wealthy and the wealthy don't know when to quit. I didn't vote for a terrorist president but I have to exist in a country in fear of retaliation. Because let's face it, only the innocent get killed in this crap. The rich and royal are protected, the rest of us are sitting ducks. Waiting for the bomb to drop on us when we never would of considered doing what trump has done.

Everything is falling apart and nobody can do anything to make it better without being shot in the face. And if all we do is care about ourselves like our selfishness is a life jacket, it doesn't mean we won't drown or get eaten along with everyone else.

The American dream is dead. The constitution is over and our lies and secrets of genocide are out in the open. And nobody can do anything.

Protesting is all a distraction. Trump is laughing and building a ballroom. He doesn't care about this country, he cares about wealth. We fucking voted in an asshole rich guy who does what they all do. Destroy.

At this point I just want some land in the desert because I know those snobs won't want to live where they dumped the natives. At least I can have peace. I'd like for my son to be able to make it but I have to plan several different options for him because I don't know what's going to happen in the next few years due to the constant instability and anxiety these old rich people cause just because they don't have to suffer.

I have zero pride in my country. Aside from it's natural beauty and wonder, this place is a shit hole.

I think about this a lot. What is being taken from our children. How we are all divided, how the voice of reason is always silenced permanently. The list is infinite and soul crushing.

@deathfairy I have zero hope left at all. I have stopped caring out of necessity and I'm sure that's what was planned, that's the society the wealthy want. Tired peasants who won't fight back.

I know there will be zero accountability from the old heads and people that voted for trump. I hear over and over how they don't care what they leave behind and it's the most disgusting thing I can imagine. I can't even fathom saying to my son, I don't care if I leave your life a mess. I'm fighting myself to have something to leave for him. I'm killing myself with work to keep him alive and getting shit on for it.

How can anyone make it if half don't care so the other half can only struggle to stay alive.

I'm disappointed because we just do the same dumb stuff over and over. We take a step forward then two back.

Humans incessant need for control and wealth is boring and overplayed. It will never end.
One day, mother earth will cleanse herself of us. We are her biggest if not her only sickness and disease. @ScreamingFox
