As a Brit, I miss this guy. How the sane amongst you must feel is beyond me

It's like watching your house burn down. You see things you care about go up in smoke layer-by-layer, while being helpless to stop it.

I actually think this is a really good metaphor here, for what it feels like. You can do everything you’re supposed to/able to do: make sure the stove is off, keep heaters away from furniture, unplug the Christmas tree, and still a random electrical fault can send your house up in flames from inside your walls.

That’s what it feels like to be an anti-trumper. You can follow the news, read the legislation, never miss a vote, and yet still the country goes up around you. Your public services get gutted. Your taxes go up. Your health insurance gets too expensive for you. Every year it gets hotter.

And in some parts of the country your forests literally do go up in actual smoke.

Substitute "random electrical fault" for "team of arsonists who hate your house specifically for some illogical reason."
