I’m getting depressed and exhausted. I see so much suffering from people in this country of all ages, races and religion. I will never respect any republican or religious person who supports this orange wannabe dictator !

I am truly fearful about if even the elections next year will be fair. The Supreme Court and the mainstream media don’t do a thing.

Including but not limited to the arrest of high-level Democrats like President Obama or at least their investigation and much, much worse. The entire infrastructure of our country and institutions will be gone completely by this time next year including Social Security and Medicare.

democracy and the Constitution as if it were normal times. On foreign policy, they "analyze" President Doohnibor's tariffs and "negotiations" to discuss what effects they might have on the markets. Nobody gives a larger picture on whether the tariffs can actually achieve their supposed goals to bring businesses back to the US. They just discuss each individual change in tariffs as it happens.

For a while I though Doohnibor was manipulating the markers for his own investment purposes. But, although that's not out of the question for him, I'm wondering what other motive for the tariffs might exist behind his market manipulations, considering his general self interests in power and money.

One thing is certain. He does not act from concern for good governance and the well being of the people. So, what is behind his actions and edicts?

It was all spelled out in the open what the terrorists would do in Project 2025. Now we all have to suffer for the ignorance and hatred instilled in much of the voting public.

Legalizing bribery and declaring 'the President' immune set the stage. Its continued undermining of the Constitution and law lets the fuckery continue.

pre planned, Project 2025 should be burnt in a bonfire!!!! Vought, Lutnick, Miller and others had been spewing about Project 2025, we were warned. They just wanted to burn everything to the ground. But out ashes something good will come out of it. Nationwide Strike should be next. Without us the economy will tank and that 1% won't be too happy.

This country is going straight downhill, at a rapid rate. And there aren't anything close to adequate countermeasures in place, slowing this disastrous trend down. As I keep saying: trump's constant, non-stop outrages and fuckups are handing this nation back to Democrats---but only if we seize the initiative and do something to reclaim leadership. And that's just not happening, with any regularity.

feeling the way you do, but please remember these are fascists we are dealing with. They want to wear us down, don't let them do it. Be with like-minded people, do something you like to do, could be anything, nothing at all.

I will not let this kakistocracy treat us this way, they are a damaged group of horrible swamp dwellers. I will not name them we know who they are.

Stay strong kimbutgar,

It is horrible to witness. But there ARE millions of us in this country and around the world on our side. Join hands and fight back. When I feel depressed I say a mantra— one I use is— “They have sewn the wind. They will reap the whirlwind.” Some phrase like that— something that gives you a small dose of courage. I saw somebody’s sign that said, “Their cruelty will be their downfall.” That’s a good one. I guess you’d call these mental boomerangs. Putting the negative energy back from where it came. We are so used to turning the other cheek, trying to pretend negative assaults are not happening, trying hard to ignore them and protect ourselves, but this is too big to ignore.

Expressing dismay to others — very important— feeling same. We are in a fight for the soul of this nation. It’s shocking and unimaginable. We have strength in numbers. Fascism will fail in this country. But we have to work the ropes to pull it down.

IT IS UP TO US!

You have to watch for it and be prepared to be shocked. Here is one a customer at my favorite Chinese buffet asked where was Fox News and was told they do not turn it on due to complaints. 40 minutes free of Trump.

You are the only one who can see the next day and assess in advance whether it will be worse (worst). I for one do not have clairvoyance or fortune telling powers.

I think you meant to write "worse than the last" or "worse than the previous". Yes, sometimes it does feel like that. If that is what you meant, then you are not alone.
