Is this just human nature? [View all]

is the path to ruin inexorable and etched into our DNA?

Why is this happening?! Why suddenly are all these Democrats, people I believed in, seemingly willing to ignore the will of the people and throw the election to the fascists?

I can only spend a few moments a day pondering this shit. It's playing havoc with my peace of mind. I have a life I'm trying to improve but this is not the way!

It's gets harder daily to imagine this ending well. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it; those who learn history are doomed to fret.

Just wanted to share my frustration. I may take a klonopin today. There are other stressors working on me, including the 23rd anniversary of Bekah's death in 2 days. Plumber tomorrow; it either goes well and the problem is fixed and covered by my HomeServe plan, or it's under the house and I could be looking at a bill in the thousands of dollars that I essentially do not have (I have the credit, and I have a son who is a plumber, so it will get done either way. Just saying it's just another little bump in the road of Anxiety).

One thing I have known and relied on all along is the certain knowledge that there are more of US than there are of THEM. These fucking turncoat Democrats are shredding any certainty I may have felt, and threatening my hope for success in November.

fuck those motherfuckers
