In reply to the discussion: I'm not sure how to title this post. Re: Anxiety. [View all]1WorldHope
(1,981 posts)19. We're right here with you. It's almost like death,
in that we can't stop what is coming, we don't know what comes after, and we don't know how painful it will be.
My memory sucks and I don't remember if you are able to get out. The only hour I feel whole all week is the hour between 4 and 5 on Friday afternoons. That is when about 10 or 15 of us protest in front of Pete Ricketts and Deb Fischer' offices in downtown Lincoln. Every week we grow more in numbers and the cars passing us are ecstatic to see us out there. Every week more and more people feel exactly like you and many of us do. We are not alone and we will over come these fascists again. Make a sign and go outside, you'll soon not be alone.

POS is not an "imperfect president" or a "flawed character". He is an evil monster.

The President is an evil, insane monster. I feel like I am watching a trashy end of the world movie.

I haven't read any replies yet, so forgive me if any of this is redundant, but I feel you're 100% correct here.

It seems Congress is impotent & SCOTUS is partially corrupt. If the States hold, it will be up to us..

You are right to feel anxious. In 2015 I tried to get my husband to move out of the US

I think we're all feeling the anxiety. Trump is definitely out of his mind!

Not just because he can ... the scorched earth tactics are to cover his tracks.

At 66, for the first time in my life, I went on anti-anxiety pills, after Trump won again.
