24. I so wish it was different

I, too, am a boomer with the same past experience and feel exactly the same as you have described. Even more than my hatred of him, though, is my hatred for those who put and keep him in power….with apparently no consequence other than acquiring more power and money - an insatiable need which they are all satisfying while watching the death throes of a country and its citizens. I didn't know I was capable of such hatred.
