I've felt much the same over the last few years.

I mostly refrain these days from trying to get both of my young adult daughters to see what's happening, because the brainwashing has been so complete. I do think we still are all basically innocent - and that's why the psychopaths have been able to get away with so much.

I remember many years ago someone saying that we would look back on the mid-20th century in the western world as an aberration in human history. I now fear they may have been right.

Yes, I have mourned and continue to mourn. When I think how my son lost his senior year of high school, his graduation and his prom and his captainship of the school's tennis team, it still infuriates me. These Evil people are like that murderer in Stephen King's THE GREEN MILE: They gleefully use our goodness & love against us. Few can imagine such diabolical cruelty as a mindset, and, to quote a saying I heard from my grandfather several times: "The people who are willing to do anything to get ahead will always have an advantage over the people who are not."

Poignant. I feel guilty for the pleasures still available to me in old age, knowing not what's in store for my daughter but having no good reason to feel optimistic (she is jabbed; I am not).
