I mean honestly this is the most deranged and worst it’s been in my … at least adult lifetime. I think a lot of the political mess we’re in is tied into our appetite for some pretty terrible pop culture. Yes, yes, we have moral and intelligent and sane people here too, but the way that we have leaned in so hard to trashy reality television, infuencers, anything to grab your attention and reward it monetarily…hell we have a reality tv president. It’s not the only reason I think we’re in the mess, but I think we’ve been primed to accept more and more outrageous behavior cause we’ve always been over the top and big and loud. I always assumed I’d live in a democracy, it was just a given. This is the first time I’m doubting it.
