How stupid are the people of the country?

We should go for waterboarding

And we should go tougher

This is the twilight zone
Stating the current situation as being akin to the "twilight zone," a surreal, bizarre state of affairs.
I remember waking up on November 9, 2016
Personal reflections on a distressing event (November 9, 2016) and the feeling of descending into uncertainty.
And feeling a little bit nauseous
-It felt like descending into a bottomless pit on a high speed rail
-Careening head first into the unknown
-Twilight zone
Reiteration of the "twilight zone" metaphor for the current state of affairs.
We will make American great again
Referencing a slogan used during a political campaign (Make America Great Again).
Disgusted and depressed

We know the world is just a mess
Recognizing the chaotic state of the world.
Distortion of reality
Highlighting the distortion of reality and suppression of truth.
The truth is under arrest

But there's no better word than stupid
Labeling the situation as foolish and inciting irrational behavior.
Firing up the crazies

-This is the twilight zone
Reasserting the surreal nature of the current state.
Where do we go from here?
Pondering the uncertain future and the direction to take from this chaotic state.
Where do we go from here?
-Where do we go from here?
