The sheer magnitude of the traumatic, distrubing political events of the last year is mind-boggling. I was never a fan of the Republican party, Trump or his blatantly white supremicist rhetroic, but seeing his army of insurrectionists descend on the Capitol in real time is an event that will FOREVER impact how I view American politics and the cult of personality. Between January 6th and January 21st, I lived in immense fear of our democracy toppling forever at the hands of Q-ANON-ers, bigots, or foreign adversaries. I'm still afraid. I don't know that we will ever come back from Trump's mishandling of COVID, of the presidency, of our future as a nation.

My mom and I went to CVS the other day, and we went into the cards aisle looking for picture frames or things related to arts and crafts. We were shocked when we saw how many cards were gone. As you can see, on the righthand side of the photo almost all of the 'Care and Concern' cards were gone, completely cleared out. When my mom saw it she gasped and put her hand to her mask. It was shocking. Our minds immediately jumped to the thought of so many people having the virus that the CVS almost ran out of cards. ... the implication of all of those cards being gone definitely makes you think.
