Imagine - unprecedented corruption in the DOJ of the most corrupt administration in US history.

Yes - Americans should be enraged - but they should be enraged every minute of every day, as they look upon a grotesquely corrupt administration in which a vindictive narcissist, compulsive liar, fragile egomaniac and raging sociopath who's marching the entire country toward self-destruction to satisfy his wildly misdirected and literally insane need for privilege and acclaim has assembled an unprecedented array of entirely corrupt, amoral, unprincipled, self-deluding shitweasels who can and will carry out his every whim, no matter how much harm it does to how many.

The real tragedy of the US isn't that Trump and his scumbag supporters are actively destroying the country and everything it ever claimed to stand for, but that so many Americans are standing idly by, or even cheering them on, as they do it.

Apathy is one thing, but there's realistically very little any one person can do that doesn't rely on violence. Most people are struggling to get by,but they haven't been pushed over the edge. There's hope that sanity will return and we just have to wait. But that sanity will just be more of the same and continue to drag us towards oblivion

The list of shit I'm enraged about is absolutely spectacular. This just adds to it.

[–] LemmyFeed@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago

I'm so tired of being enraged.

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 22 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Rage without an outlet only hurts you, and the reason you're enraged is because "this isn't how it's supposed to be". It's not, you're right, but it's how it is. Being enraged does not change that.

It's time to stop being enraged. It's time to start being prepared, observant, and resolute.

Get mad. Organize with your local community.

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 8 points 3 days ago

Get mad, stay mad. Get loud, stay loud. Unless you need to be very, very quiet.

It's time to start being prepared, observant, and resolute.

To be fair, you can use the energy of your rage and pour it into becoming prepared, observant, and resolute. It doesn't have to be an either or.

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 5 points 3 days ago

That's kind of what I meant. The alternatives are the outlet. But it's also important to try to channel it such that you are calm and focused. Seething rage will have you making mistakes.

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

Enraged? Yes. Surprised though?

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 12 points 3 days ago

Surely the corruption isn't unprecedented. It's the Trump administration, so the corruption is entirely precedented. If they were competent, that would be unprecedented.

Rage means nothing when we don't act

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 6 points 3 days ago

We can only be Enraged every day. You just can expect any more from use. The rage tank is running on empty.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 days ago

Americans are used to it. This is peanuts compared to the trillions the rich just robbed them of in the last budget.

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Oh look me in the eye and swear you didn't do it.

I said look in my eyes!!!
