Well, Richard, just keep coming back to sage advice:
Live in today
Just today
Do what you can today
Be kind to someone today
Help wherever you can today
Then rest
You can count on it. I have always said to expect the worst-case scenario with this guy. He and his acolytes are drunk on power and will use whatever means necessary to ruthlessly achieve their goals with no regard for the law or morality.
The Gandhi Paradox in action. The reasonable and good opt out of conflict, relying on mechanisms to force people to be good. Nonviolence as praxis surrounding conflict, breaking down as the unreasonable violently take, break, kill, without meaningful or effective counter to violent opponents.
Works great when there is a massive power imbalance. When an empire stretches too thin.
Even now, people are wringing their hands about the assassination of a CEO whose entire industry exists to deny medical care. We’re debating it, and condemning him still.
We survived his first term better than I expected. Of course, I thought for sure he was going to get us all killed in some nuclear war, so my bar was pretty low.
Well my friend, I have hundreds of hours of historical study, thousands of books, 3 academic degrees. With that I have always had a metaphorical crystal ball into things happening as I lived through them.
Currently there are no good outcomes in those crystal balls. Very scary! Prepare.

I just hope we all come out alive on the other side of this nightmare.

It’s going to continue.
You may remember that national trauma (including dictatorship) was my area specialty in my 1st career.
Americans are stupid & innocent. They don't think it will happen here & they don't know what "it" may be.
Well. We'll see.
