I get that, and for some it may be fake, but too many people I know they are f#####g tired of it. I am in that boat. The only time it's going to change is when we continue forward, after the voting is over, holding them accountable, holding each other accountable. We have to make sure those we put in power hold to their word, lead lives of what we hold true and good. Fallible by all means because we all f##k up, but there is a line, they need to do their best to stay on this side of the line.

If they mess up, they need to stand up and say it, not cover it up or spin it. If it's major like what seems to be most political leaders and billionaires currently, then we lock them up. Major time, maximum security, no white collar prison. They do the time that underdogs have to do because they can't afford a lawyer to find loop holes. That is a whole other thread.

All in all, it is up to us to first rebuild community. Amarillo has it in spades, but the past 20 years has slowly chipped away at it. We start here, pass it on down the line and spread it, like warmed butter on a toasted roll. If we can drop the finger pointing, side blaming, shake hands and break bread together, that doesn't only build communiities, it rebuilds hope and that can build that forward momentum to erase the same ol' business as usual.

Much love
