I imagined myself like a new Dr. Frankenstein, trying to revive democracy from whatever little of it remained. Trying to and, unlike Dr. Frankenstein back in his days, pitifully failing at reviving it.

Those last weeks have been so... painfully filled with this ugly orange hatred and despise for democracy and for its institutions that I've not really been feeling like enjoying much hobbies, I must say. My bad, 100%, and I should not let those billionaires oligarchs and their Orange clown reach me like that. I should even be thankful to them! At last, they showed the world who they really are and what they stand for. Maybe that will create an electroshock? Probably not, oligarchs are everywhere and controls already so much of what we need. Now, they also know they don't have much to worry much about and the can do whatever they want. The orange bully and his billionaire pal, have took hold of the USA. I wonder how Putin celebrated that re-election? Probably a lot more than he celebrated all of his own...

Sorry, I should not have answered like that to your fine question. I wanted to be funny and post something silly. It's just I feel a little bit depressed or maybe a little more than that, by what's happening in the USA. And how easily it's happening.
