It is so *weird* living in a new reality that most people can't even see. Million of people think they're still living in a world that no longer exists. Wildly disconcerting times.

I've seen people say this, and then get yelled at in the replies for being too negative. Too many people are holding onto institutions that no longer exist. Those days are gone and it gives me a stomachache to think of what's coming next.
For the Greeks, you had to piss off a god who gave you the power in the first place to see the future and have no one believe you. Today we just need to watch video of Trump and Musk for a minute or two.
The new world is filled with danger and terrible things. It's not a good place and I fear America and everything America touches will become even worse very quickly.
A woman my mom’s age on Facebook (I KNOW, I know, I need to get off there) was just straight posting graphs from DOGE as truth, and when I pointed out the many, many discrepancies, she said I “needed more sources.”
I grew up in a church with this woman’s daughter! I canNOT.
I did this with my evangelical MIL. Even after they get facts, they refuse to accept them, claim it's made up, etc. Then they will send you obvious fakes from FB, etc.
2025 = Paralyzed & catatonic.
I now wake up and start my morning asking my hub ‘is there anything that I need to really know?’
He answers ‘no’ so we can enjoy a cup of coffee.
I've been really struggling with that. The news is bleak, grim, end of society stuff and people around town want to talk about football scores and what not. I don't have it in me.
There’s plenty of space for rage and more to come! It’s the lightning speed gutting of American ethos of what it means to be an American causing the zombification.
It’s surreal. I unfriended an acquaintance of 16 years yesterday. I suspected but didn’t know she was on the Darth side. I’m sure she told her husband that I’m cuckoo at the same time I was telling mine she was.

The awake and the sleeping.
More will awaken, but many will continue to choose sleep as it is the easier path.
