Am I the only one terrified for our country, our world, right now?

[Laffy Kat]

Trump may become so desperate for a distraction right now god know's what he's contemplating. Shit. Don't even know if I can sleep tonight. Anyone feel free to talk me down. I already took a Xanax.

[democratisphere]

1. I believe there are forces that will not allow US to initiate an Armageddon.

[Laffy Kat]

2. I'm counting on that at the moment. E-gads. nt

[MLAA]

11. Trade ya 3 ginger snaps for 1 xanax

[Liberal In Texas]

3. No.

We may be doomed. Just don't know.
I bought a ginger counter. Wouldn't have thought of doing that before the present resident.

[bathroommonkey76]

8. My ginger counter stopped working years ago.

4. I suspect there are plenty of safety valves. Remember Nixon.

He was full tilt middle of the night insomniac drunken bozo toward the end. They kept him from doing any harm.

I’m rather enjoying the idea of HIM not getting any sleep.

[Kath2]

5. I'm half drunk and terrified.

I can't talk you down because I am where you are. It is sickening!

[Demtexan]

7. I am at peace.

We cannot control what will happen.

I understand how you are feeling right now.

Try to relax and try to get some sleep.

The people in the white house know they got caught.

I think the vp is blowing smoke.

I could be wrong.

Enjoy the weekend.

[workinclasszero]

9. The next 48 hours could be extremely dangerous for America

and the world.

Who knows what evil Twitler and Pence might be cooking up for the weekend?

[Initech]

10. Oh I am extremely terrified.

The Christian right and the far right are getting crazier by the day. We have an administration that is preying on fear and misinformation, and constantly lies through its' teeth and tries to blame the other side for everything. We have a new generation of the Hitler Youth willing to carry on their evil deeds. This is so fucked up.

[Demtexan]

12. I am not afraid of them.

More of us then them.

The new Hitler Youth are only brave in groups and when only they have baseball bats.

In a real fight they would run like the cowards they are.

[Hornedfrog1985]

13. I bugged out

About 4 months ago. Then i realized. We have very powerful, smart people working behind the scenes to combat this. He is going down. I believe this will be a collective effort with many of our allies taking down these fools. I saw all of this coming. Trump essentially has his own army willing to kill for him. I truly believe they tested it to see if these people could possibly kill for the right wing. When that guy went to the pizza parlor with an ar15 it told them everything they needed to know. They can make these people kill.

[Lint Head]

14. No!

[Dotarded]

15. Of course

I am operating under the assumption that Trump will be here for all 4 years. I would bet more than a small sum for this to be true. The scenarios that need to unfold for that to change may be even worse than him staying if I will be honest.

This means everything you mentioned is riding on 2018. That is the earliest we can do anything about this. REALISTICALLY. Fantasies are fun. Actually voting in people to stop him is not as fun. Its hard. You all have seen the maps...

And since most here are against any form of religion. Do whatever agnostic thing it is you do to send the equivilant of prayers to Ginsberg because if she doesnt last the fort night we are really screwed at SCOTUS for decades.

Im getting more doomed by the day. What is posted here is the polar opposite of what I hear from half the people I meet every day.

I will give what I can, vote, and spread the word. What else?

[Blindingly apparent]

16. I think our country is in far more danger then we dare to imagine!

We have Trump stacking the court with right wing ideologues. This will affect us for at least a generation.
Then, we have him filling all the agencies that we thought were there to protect us with actual enemies of those protections.
Gorka spouting off on Hillary, claiming she should be executed-he’s going to get her assassinated.
There’s gerrymandering making it’s difficult to even elect Democrats.
Not to mention, that the American people have been brainwashed into not trusting Democrats. Do you think it’s possible that Russians have been influencing our elections for at least a decade?

I hesitate expressing these feelings. I hate the thought that right wingers think that good Democrats are afraid- I wish there was a forum that only members could view. There are things that should only be said behind closed doors.

[imanamerican63]

17. Can you hear the GOP saying "WTF did we give him the Nuclear codes"?

[Meowmee]

18. Yes

At first I felt some joy and relief that something finally happened. But then I felt anxious and apprehensive of what this could bring on. I think anyone with any intelligence would be. I’m hoping that he’s so far gone demtia wise etc that he can’t even figure out how to do anything like that.
