Going Rogue
We are the culture of greed, death, indifference, cruelty, mass incarceration, poverty, hunger, suspicion, hate, patriarchal monarchy disguised as democracy, and genocide.
Within the context of that evil, bête noire – exactly how is that any different from the cultural nightmare that was ancient Rome’s legacy to the…

America loved him. Americans voted for him. America placed their lives in his hands. America saw him as worthy of their hope.
He failed. Us.
