    Or maybe people should be prepared for the worst because a violent felon was just elected to run the country?

      I’ve found life to be slightly less stressfull when you stop worrying about this that you 1. can’t do anything about and 2. likely wont even happen.

      The world was supposed to end in 2016 when he got elected and I bought into that. It didn’t. I’ll be a bit more sceptical this time around.

        1 is bullshit.

        We can organize. Get involved in our communities. Make sure we and our loved ones are as safe as possible if shit does hit the fan.

        2 ignores the fact that this isn’t 2016. The judiciary is stacked this time around. And the SC has already given Trump immunity for a lot of the bullshit he says he plans to do.

        You can hope for the best. I do. But I’m also preparing for the worst.

        I’m not counting on the democrats to save me. You’re praying that things are okay when every indication out of Trump is the opposite.

        Some times I’m not going to worry is just apathy in disguise. I think that’s the case here.
