Today's OneWord: Perplexed

I am perplexed by it all, my man. The anger and confusion regarding the freedoms we've held dear for over two hundred and forty years. I see them raise their arms in a salute that should have been banned almost a century ago. The roars swallow up the stories of good men. The tales of brave women are drowned out by hatred and frustration. The echo chambers are bigger than ever. I am perplexed by it all.
