16. Their heads are in their asses

By voting for nominees they're taking a "business as usual" stance and normalizing what we're seeing.

It's not just the gutting of the federal government, the cruel attempts to freeze federal funds, or the inhumane shipping off of migrants to Guantanamo Bay (allegedly): trump and his minions are blaming minorities and people of color for every single thing that goes wrong.

I'm really disappointed and frankly scared about what's to come. Maybe I should start looking into leaving the country. But how?
