Disillusioned? The illusion is that we can maintain our purity in the face of fascism. The illusion is that the USA is a democracy. It’s not. It doesn’t give us the choice to say no. It only gives us one, very limited choice. If we want more choices, we have to create them ourselves. And we can only do that if we get our hands dirty with the work of preventing further decay.
We have to bail the sewage out of this shit-river skiff with our bare hands. It’s disgusting, but it’s the only way to survive long enough to patch the hole properly. The idea that we can get the job done with our hands clean is the illusion.
