What a fucked up lifetime of being betrayed and sold out by "the adults in the room"

And now I see that my lifelong extreme distrust and open loathing of authority figures was completely appropriate.

my entire lifetime we have elected profoundly unserious people for our most serious positions. this last week of SCOTUS power grabs was the climax.

While being subjected to know-nothing dipshit propagandists, pundits and otherwise, mansplaining to us that we're acktchually wrong, we have more rights than ever before but we're too ignorant and plebeian to understand what they are

any serious individual that has been accidentally elected has quit or been chased out, we are governed by people that wouldn't get past the "individual contributor" ceiling at a major corporation

Yeah my distrust of authority was cemented as a teenager thanks to... Clarence Thomas

Being a teenaged girl during the Thomas and Clinton years taught me a lot about what the expectations of me as a woman would be and I've fought it kicking and screaming ever since

But this is the fate that the "adults in the room" decided for me and all the rest of us I guess. I'm so fucking angry at everyone who told me everything was going to be fine

I'm also pretty angry at my seminar teachers, who told me my big brain would save the world someday, but neglected to tell me that no one would listen to all those great big brain thoughts unless I was a dude

But this is the way it works for all of us. I thought the same when I was 18 and voted against Reagan, but I was told all would be fine.......

Remember when Joe Biden helped Clarence get confirmed?

Right, I was a teenage Libertarian, and even though I didn’t have the economic facts right at the time, my anti-authority impulse was dead on. Everyone who works in Government at the federal level hates you and you should hate them back.
