The developing story about a whistle-blower complaint against Trump is curious, and I'll follow along with the news and see where it goes out of idle interest.

I suspect, though, that no matter what information comes out though, it won't matter much. To his supporters, it doesn't seem to matter a whit what horrible things Trump and people around him do. The fact that the US could potentially reelect someone like Trump is, purely in itself, enough to make me feel like the system we have has fundamentally failed. When so many people could want as purely vile and worthless a human being as Trump in office, it's hard to imagine it getting better in the near future. I just never thought, growing up, that this many people could think and behave in this way. I'm not sure I believe anymore that the moral arc of the USA bends, in the long term, toward justice. It makes me glad to be leaving the country.
