Ditto. A recurring sinking feeling. Protests help. I think I will need a minimum of two protests per month. Plus Rachel Maddow, BlueSky and probably recurring/rolling general strikes.
A true general strike - has been talked about - and I thought one was in the works - but just now I didn't find it... I'll keep looking. But FYI - check both these - for tons more links on each page. Cheers!!

more like watching a series for twenty years, only to find out it was real life, not Hollywood. And the very last episode shows a single survivor walking down a deserted road in the dust with her dog towards a forest in flames...
I was literally just thinking this on a long drive into Seattle today. Gloomy, raining. Government collapsing. It feels like something is over. Here in the US and the world at large
And people thought the last season of GoT was bad. We are heading for a Hamlet ending but without the captive dialogue, all so one old Krasnov could play bad golf
I always thought it had way too much exposition. Like, are you trying to tell me that the three hours they spent in car was not enough time to go over the details of the operation and the gameplan?
Watch the last season of “Buffy” instead. See what happens to the evil preacher, the nerds and the First Evil. Hint: it involves women finding their power.
And all of these story beats are so close together that the audience doesn't even have time to process it before we're onto the next scene where something else jumps the shark
maybe, maybe, maybe you get a slight understanding of how we felt in the past 70 years with these policies being forced on us with your bombs, sanctions, invasions and your "heroes" murdering us around the world.
The richest guy in the world zonked out of his mind and waving a chain saw around on a CPAC stage next to the mop-haired president of Argentina while red hat wearing white evangelicals in the audience cheer wildly? Ok, kinda out there, but I respect the writers’ chutzpah.
The President gave access to the private data of every American to a 19 year old named “Bigballs” who was fired from his previous job for inappropriately sharing proprietary information with competitors and who is also the grandson of a former KGB agent? You can’t be serious?
They put a TV host with a history of getting blackout drunk in charge of the Pentagon and fired all of the most competent people who served under him in a massive Friday night purge? I’m going to need to see some drug test results from the writers of that episode.
It almost as if they are deliberately or accidentally working on behalf of a foreign adversary who hates the United States so much he would have to destroy it from within... who could it be 🙄🇷🇺
I turned 60 next month born 65 you know grew up in the 70s 80s I cannot fucking believe that this is our this is our situation never in my wildest dreams I have ever thought that our democracy was so fragile that it could essentially collapse in a month
Sometimes a favorite series comes back better than ever. I really believe with time and a LOT of work the U.S. will do this as soon as this season is cancelled (which I believe will be soon)
This season sucks. Totally unrealistic plot, and an endless parade of shitty cardboard-cutout villain characters, who keep winning despite being the stupidest motherfuckers ever to ever to crawl the face of the earth.
Reality definitely feels like a dying TV show right now. Like everyone knows it’s on the way out, so they’re relying on crazier and crazier ratings stunts to get attention and right the ship.
Alternatively, the news and real life in general is now Riverdale.
It's more like a series that you enjoyed for the past four seasons but now it has a new showrunner and he's a real asshole and taking it in a completely ridiculous direction
Also they brought it back for a shitty extra season when you already didn't like the ending but you can't seem to stop watching even as everything you enjoyed about it is ruined episode by episode 🙂🤡
Whatever season this is I wish it would slow the f down. The changes are so vast and reckless, and they’re happening so fast I can’t keep up with what it all means. It lends to the feeling of overall instability and insecurity.

I still don't want a king, though.

I’m an alien on my own soil.
