She and her husband signed a joint book deal to the tune of
of more than 65 million in 2017 -- and she feels sad?!
Oh! Sorry! I mean she feels long term low mood sad- So instead of laughing all the way to the bank, she whines her way there s-l-o-w-l-y ..
I’m surprised at your comment, and feel it a tad ingenuous.
MO was talking about what has happened and is happening to the USA and the world at large.
Many people in her position of wealth and privilege don’t feel the need to speak out for the less fortunate or show that they empathise with the sick or poor.
Whilst I am not in MOs bracket in regard to wealth I feel myself privileged to live the lifestyle I do lead but am aware that millions are not in such a position. I have watched with horror at the way so much is being taken away from the poor and sick and feel nothing but disdain for those who are in a position to speak out or actively seek to stop the rot being brought about by the politics we see today.
And yes I would say that many, many people are feeling despair and a low level of depression at what they see happening.
We’ve gone from a country of optimism and opportunity to a little England Nationalistic mentality which I find disgusting. You only have to read some of the posts on this forum to understand. The prejudice is writ large.
MO is using her position to describe how, like me she feels about the events unfolding before her, in her country.
Good on her I say!!
She's speaking from a position of protection, pity and priveledge, not compassion or empathy- The world isn't what she wants it to be, so she's uncomfortable- And sad- Seeking the emotional company of others for support- That's what she's offering -- from her ivory tower-
A far cry from Macron stepping into the wreckage of Beirut and hugging someone-
She is no position to "give a voice" to the suffering and sadness that occurs in the lives of others less fortunate than herself- It's smug- Which is something we had 8 years of- Enough is enough-
I say that as a Democrat, not a Republican-
