We keep losing ground.

We are losing our hard fought for rights.

The law is being twisted or totally ignored.

Every government entity and institution is infested with crooks, criminals, white supremacist, Christian nationalists,
and fascists.

I don't blame you for feeling hopeless.

I don't know how this mess can ever be straightened out.
