The United States is a speeding train filled with people who hate each other. Some groups try to take over the engine and force everybody to go their way. Many other people are just trying to travel on the train and ignore the hate-filled people fighting to take over the engine. They just want to live their lives and be left alone.
But as the train speeds faster and faster through the dark night of a rotting culture, almost all of the people on board ignore what’s obvious. This train is speeding toward the edge of a cliff — and those who don’t get off are about to be in a terrible, violent crash into a deadly abyss.
A society in denial about the obvious looming disaster makes me question my own perceptions of reality. Either I’m crazy — which is possible — or else the collective public is suffering mass delusion which blinds them to the cliff ahead.
This country is simmering with group anger and resentment — and those of each group have a narrative which paints them as the real victims.

Stop using children as pawns to promote adult political agendas
Leave your dead past behind; that’s not where you’re going
We’re neither friends nor enemies, just strangers who share the past
Society needs storytellers to help make sense of a changing world
My bad teen poetry suggests I’ve always hungered for missing love
Federal checks are destroying incentive to take entry-level jobs
Change sometimes happens slowly, not in the grand leap that we want
Evil and idiocy stripping away veneer of western civilization
