I'm starting to worry about my mental state

[BigOleDummy]

As the title suggests I am becoming concerned because …… well because I've started to think unthinkable things. Horrible terrible things. Such as ……. the hateful rhetoric spewing from the right threatening violence to Liberals and anyone not as crazy as they are. We have trillions of bullets they say ……. impeach trump and its civil war they threaten …… the Press is the enemy of the people spewed daily and constantly. Could all this be a concerted propaganda push to get us to start defending ourselves? When chump and his 1% cohorts drive their minions to a frenzy and they start , well step up their attacks, on us and we push back.... will that be all that's needed for chump and mcturtle to declare martial law and suspend the constitution completely? Are we TRULY in the midst of a slow motion coup?

It bothers me that these thoughts creep into my head.

1. I have far worse thoughts than you do

It's best just to visit the lounge and hang out there with all the cat posts.

3. This crap is mostly going on online...so try not to worry too much. The truth is going to win

out. And the truth is we do have a white national republican male problem in this country....period.

4. Believe me

I'm right there with you.

Everyone says it's so important to focus on winning 2020...but that might not make a difference at this point. There's still plenty of time between November and January. The MAGAS hit the streets and go crazy, Trump has some way to twist it back into the Liberals and orders martial law or worse...

Yea, I've thought about it too

Not to mention the DAILY damage to our Constitution...

5. By 2020 we might not have much constitution left...

McConnell, will have nuclear optioned all the votes down to a simple majority vote will push everything through. Gerrymandering wins... If the courts rule with tRump and his rule by emergency decree, we might as well just get rid of the legislative branch altogether... It is scary...

7. There's more than one way to kill a Govt

And they are trying all of them...

8. Stop worrying.

The really dangerous righties, like Timothy McVey, don't mouth off at all before they act. Fortunately there are very few of them.

10. I've never understood why house ethics didn't investigate and fine him.

11. I just had a week vacation

.... only could afford a staycation. But I like being at my house (M-F I barely see it). It was too rainy to do much yardwork, so I didn't really get a lot done. Not even in the house. I just wasn't motivated. I'm down in the dumps. Finally figured out that I'm just very depressed. What is happening to my country? Is there no hope? These primaries just get me down, seeing democrats attack other democrats. It is just demoralizing.

No, I'm not suicidal, just despondent. I have all this hate in my heart for trump and his supporters. It is defiling me. I'm usually a very loving woman. Now I can barely crack a smile. But tomorrow, it is back to work and the grind (4 hours commuting each day, 9 hour work days).

It didn't help that the one beautiful sunny day during my 'spring break' I ended up teleworking because there was work that just had to get done.

Today was a little sun, but it is my last day, and I'm already depressed because of that.

Oh well. Tomorrow's alarm goes off at 3 am. I had better get with the program and get to sleep.
