Journal of my Perceived Truth: a data dump of the last two years of unvarnished political observations.
One day in 2018, I decided to re-dedicate myself to journaling on a more regular basis. This is in part because I think people have short memories and you can’t trust that the collective hive mind will be accurate in its memory of events. Over the last few years, whenever I had a political or social observation, I highlighted it. I'm just an observer.

6/14 “We Gotta stop treating the world like it’s a zero sum game.”
6/18 I don’t even know what to say. All by himself, in just a few short years, Trump has rendered satire and fiction obsolete. My craziest ideas can’t even match this guy. I’m done.
Today he declared there must be a Space Force. A fucking Space Force. You know…like NASA. Like Star Wars. A military branch like the army of the Air Force. Holy shit.
Oh, it’s real, baby. I am not making this up.
6/20 Can only get so sick of arguing about Trump. But it’s every day in good old 2018.
Space Force. Kids taken from their families at the border. Somehow a prediction by Rush Limbaugh some fifteen years ago has come to pass in America. Where a candidate who jumped on the immigration and border control issue would rise to the top and capture the vote. I heard it back in the car on the way to pick up my girlfriend at the time….
Remember: Jesus only loves you because he has to.
6/21 Guess Trump signed an Executive Order against himself? About the separation of families thing.
The whole privilege behind the people arguing against illegal immigration is blinding..... “My grandparents came to this country legally and learned to speak the language.” So…you’re claiming credit for something your grandparents did, thereby exposing your privilege and trying to pass it off as your own foresight.
I mean…wow.
