 I am taking a new antidepressant for my clinically diagnosed depression. It may be working. But my asshole president Donald Trump has me plunged into depression nonetheless. He has said he will destroy Iranian civilization tonight if they don’t open the Strait of Hormuz, which was, of course, open before he began his illegal and sinful war. I don’t know if he’ll order it done. I don’t know if the US military will obey him if he does, any order he may give for them to do it being, obviously, illegal under both domestic and international law. I just know that even if he doesn’t or they don’t, I live in a pariah country. I live in a country led by a madman and in which no one is willing or able to stop him. I live in a country in which something like 40% of its people support this madman and his insane actions and statements. I fear that my tax dollars, already being used for grossly immoral purposes, will be used to finance genocide. I pray for peace. I wish I had better hope that it will come.
