The first presidency of the orange shitstain was incredibly difficult to get through. This is even worse in every way. Self care is going to be very important for all of us who oppose him. Take a step back when you need to. We are all being hurt every day.
MLK’s granddaughter advises against speaking his name. It’s a small, but meaningful act of resistance, given how the creature loves to see it plastered everywhere
It is

OMG, I know!! Some days I don't even want to get out of the bed anymore. I just want to pull the covers up over my head and forget about the whole thing.
...and the people around him claim to be Christians, but he has no Christian influencers. They praise him and lay hands on him but what do they tell him?
Seriously, it wouldn’t take many republicans in congress to grow some spines and put an end to this absolute train wreck! Trump is doing what he does, he doesn’t care, but the republicans letting him destroy the lives of their voters because they’re too afraid to do their jobs is disappointing.
My thought as well. Restoring and rebuilding from all the damage will be worth the work. It is vital that manditory law be in place to prevent another felon from ever becoming POTUS. My opinion!
Despite claims, no president or their allies can snap their fingers to implement an anti-democratic vision. Our laws and Constitution provide real protections through the courts and in our communities to stop abuses of power and harm to people.

Don't sit by waiting. Get registered to Vote. Get your Real-ID. Get ready to vote in every Local and Special Election until the mid terms. You never know who will pass since so many are old as the Methuselah tree. BE READY to GO!
And this, THIS, is why dealing with the current reality—the gaslighting, the denigration, the inability to conceive of the shape of the next outrage, the certainty it will come and cannot be preempted, the anticipation of the pain it will cause, the reality of the suffering—and most of all…
2/ the shameless joy taken in the hate, destruction, fear and suffering—is almost impossible for people who’ve been in an abusive situation in their lives. “Now” is just completely undoing all the progress made, the life lived, and sending you right back to that other, unbearable time when you
3/ were nothing, could do nothing, could control nothing. You take it all personally because that’s how it was before and you can’t remember anything but the helplessness and the rage. You can’t reason your way out because all your reflexes are just survival again—hiding, invisibility. And they
4/ work, because he can’t find you, they can’t find you if you stay small. Which is, of course, EXACTLY the wrong thing to do. And you know it and you are disgusted with yourself, but those reflexes are strong, learned over YEARS, maybe decades. And you DO do things. You call, protest, write, post—
5/5 but it’s never enough because the barrage never stops and you just feel weak and useless and helpless. And inside you are ALWAYS curled up and hiding in the place where they couldn’t find you. And you can’t believe, after everything, after all this time, you’re back there. Where you swore
And that’s what “now” is like for some people. Maybe a lot of people. So if you know someone like that, help them out. Help them fight back. But be kind if they can’t right now. Just remind them that they can—they did—and this time they’re not alone.
I was married to a gaslighter. My counselor and I called it 'chaos making' -- 'crazy making'. It was exhausting. I see it clearly now, but at the time I was still trying to make some kind of sense out of it/ex. Twelve years later, I still have moments of clarity of how much a liar he was/is.
I had an ex that did it as well. After I left him I started noticing things moved around in my apartment when I would get home from work. I have OCD and knew they were moved. My dog would only let someone in she knew. It went on for weeks and my best friend caught my ex coming out of my apartment
While I was at work. Was he trying to make me think I was losing my shit? Was he trying to scare me so I would call him to protect me? IDK. I did call though. To tell him that I am on to him and to stay the hell away. I never left my door unlocked again. EVER.
We aren't accountable for what Donald J.Trump thinks or does. We are accountable for our thoughts...and finding ways to feel safe inside and be our best versions of ourselves.
🙏
What makes you think there’ll be an election in four years time? Of course there won’t be. Trump won’t give up his throne without a fight, and that fight will be bloody.
Ya know just saying his name is a lot less words the dictionary needs to be updated to include the meaning of the word Trump it’s definitely how you described it pure chaos and stupidity to things you can’t fix death and stupidity and he will out live everyone the most evil ppl live long lives facts
Exactly! I no longer believe in religion for all the abuse I've put up with from men using the Bible as justification for their misogynistic bullshit. It stole my life.
How about a decade of this? Protests mean nothing to these people. You fight fire with fire. It's the only language that they'll understand. Especially, when it hits them right between their eyes.
Having lived with an abuser, I can attest to the validity of this. I remember a woman in my domestic violence survivor support group saying the day after the 2016 election: “My abuser was just elected President.”
I think we can safely say that trump is an abuser to all women. He has absolutely no regard for women at all, as he shows each time more of our rights are taken away. And as an adjudicated rapist, he should definitely have his dick cut off and shoved up his ass! Just saying......
Divorced a dude just like this…actually he divorced me when he learned I had an escape plan but I digress. The revulsion, gut wrenching nausea is back with this guy in office. I pay attention to my gut, every abused woman sees this monster for what he is. Life with him must be foul.
Same here. He drops these tiny little bombs every day hoping to distract us from the real damage he's doing. Trouble is there are soooo many things he's breaking.
I know he can't have a third term, but I'm sure he can just extend his 2nd term indefinitely by refusing to hold an election! He won't get impeached for that and SCOTUS will wave it through.
It could be fewer days to go if you fucking people got out in the streets of DC every goddamn day from now until it's done - whether by dragging his bloodied corpse from the White House by the ankles, or by forcing him to flee to Russia so Vlad can throw him off a 22nd floor balcony.
The people of this country are in an abusive relationship with Dear Leader. Even his own party members walk on eggshells so as not to set him off or become his next target. He has alienated us from lifelong allies. He control us financially and threatens violence if his every word is not obeyed.
When a loved one dies, every morning upon waking you have the awful moment when you remember that your loved one is gone. Now, we all wake and have the awful moment of remembering that HE is still here.
QUESTION FOR TRUMP: IS IT TOO MUCH ASK TO BE ABLE TO WAKE UP ONE SINGLE FUCKING DAY WITHOUT HEARING SOME BATSHIT LUNACY COMING FROM YOU THAT IS TANKING THE MARKETS? WE HAVE LIVES TO LIVE AND ARE SICK AND FUCKING TIRED OF WATCHING OUR RETIREMENT DISAPPEAR. ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, WE WILL GET RID OF YOU.

The divorce papers will be filed….
And we can't leave because $ & what the housing market is
It's humanly impossible to tune it all out enough to survive
So we're getting sic
Physical long term damage from living in abuse
When healthcare is collapsing
We're being systematically abused & terrorized by our own government every single day!
They're trying to *break us* just like any serial abuser.
We have to take care of ourselves & one another. Remain healthy, joyous, vigilant, & *united*

I think we are all suffering massive fatigue and, even worse, we can’t get a divorce.
This feels more like being a child trapped inside an abusive family.
It’s so stressful.
Another thought, tho.
Vance.
Look there's vance's cell waiting for him! 👇🏼😀

Just bad faith laziness
Instead its the national policy now
🙏
PARTAGEZ LE PLUS POSSIBLE ‼️
Can be done much quicker than an actual divorce
I thought I got rid of my abuser after I endured four years that completely robbed me of my health and my sanity
Now I’m being forced to endure this non-stop state of fear-panic-sadness again
And quite honestly, I’m not sure I can
I know he can't have a third term, but I'm sure he can just extend his 2nd term indefinitely by refusing to hold an election! He won't get impeached for that and SCOTUS will wave it through.
