"Democracies die behind closed doors."
The list goes on, and on, and on. That article, along with my Political Science lecture this morning, has severely depressed me. It seems the more I know about the structure and function of our government, and the more I know about how the current administration is using or abusing it, the more hopeless the situation seems. It wouldn’t be right to stop learning, simply because what I’ve come to understand fills me with fear, doubt, and sadness. If I ever want to change anything about the systems around me, it will be beneficial, no, necessary to understand them as best I can.
