Seriously??? How are we going to survive all the destruction that is possibly gonna happen??? I am terribly scared of what were all going to be after this. Probably shouldnt even consider things just try to live through it all, stay, positive, do what I can to maintain sanity, and just survive. I know youll get me through it, you all, BLUESKY, Green Bay Packers, Badgers, Bucks, Brewers, and anything other then news. Love you DU.

This is not normal, and trying to normalize it won't work.

(121,505 posts)Just pointing out that people have done terrible things throughout history and we are not immune from it. Terrible isn't normal, but it also isn't unheard-of.

(19,120 posts)It's good that people are facing that and preparing as best as they can. They, we, deserve to have our rightful fears taken seriously.

Meanwhile, any country that bends to Trump's will is only going to make things harder on everyone. His greed is a bottomless pit.

(952 posts)I think the emotional impact of Trump's daily psychosis and his administration's cruelty and corruption will take a toll on all Americans even the people who voted for him. Although they'll never admit he's the cause.
Personally I just hope to survive the next 4 years. With people like RFK Jr, Elon Musk and Tulsi Gabbard running things our health, social safety net and national security will constantly be at risk.
And Trump and his oligarchs couldn't care less who falls through the cracks.
