Is this just human nature?

[barbtries]

is the path to ruin inexorable and etched into our DNA?

Why is this happening?! Why suddenly are all these Democrats, people I believed in, seemingly willing to ignore the will of the people and throw the election to the fascists?

I can only spend a few moments a day pondering this shit. It's playing havoc with my peace of mind. I have a life I'm trying to improve but this is not the way!

It's gets harder daily to imagine this ending well. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it; those who learn history are doomed to fret.

Just wanted to share my frustration. I may take a klonopin today. There are other stressors working on me, including the 23rd anniversary of Bekah's death in 2 days. Plumber tomorrow; it either goes well and the problem is fixed and covered by my HomeServe plan, or it's under the house and I could be looking at a bill in the thousands of dollars that I essentially do not have (I have the credit, and I have a son who is a plumber, so it will get done either way. Just saying it's just another little bump in the road of Anxiety).

One thing I have known and relied on all along is the certain knowledge that there are more of US than there are of THEM. These fucking turncoat Democrats are shredding any certainty I may have felt, and threatening my hope for success in November.

fuck those motherfuckers

1. My take

There ARE more of us than there are of them. There always will be. The turncoats aren't saying they will vote for trump. They are not saying they will not vote. They won't write in some random person. Whoever the Democrat on the ballot is, and I personally hope it is Biden but whoever it is, will undoubtedly get their vote and my vote and will win, because there ARE more of us than them. All of this hubbub is just noise. Rise above it and know that trump and his project 2025 don't have a prayer. We've got this, despite all the Chicken Littles running around squawking about the sky falling. Don't let the fear take over.

Good luck with the plumbing!

2. American political nature is not the world.

The US is an outlier nation gone rogue.

Hardly a "developed" nation by comparison.
