I know what it feels like to be over-matched; to find myself trying to operate beyond my abilities. That’s why this confirmation of what we feared, no, what we’ve all known, fills me with dread.

You’re in over your head. How do you react? Do you engage in a self-reflective assessment? Do you appeal to those who can help you succeed? Or do you lash out in frustration and hope the momentum of your anger will see you through?

Dread is what I feel. It’s also what’s powering our country now.
