[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to do therapy, or self-talk your way out of your despair.

First, recognize that this represents a blip in history. You and me, and the events we are living right now, are not that important in the big scheme of things. Even if we disappear, and all the important programs that have created the USA as we know today, disappear as well, life goes on.

Second, the Trump/Musk administration won't have it that easy, OP. They can try to launch all kinds of stuff, but our judiciary is standing firm. When things land at the Supreme Court, those justices, even the ones Trump appointed, aren't going to decide everything his way. Precedent shows that a portion of the conservative justices are pretty independent minded! The Democrats are in a rout these days, but they will rally. Everyone who has suffered at the hands of this administration (meaning most people, because we're seeing inflation rise again, farmers may not get their USAID subsidies, red states are realizing that the fed crackdown is affecting them too) will not vote the way MAGAs want. The midterms might bring about a change of power in the House and Senate. You can maybe think of ways to be useful for that...

Third, become selfish. Take care of your own health and that of your kids. Circle the wagons on your own wellbeing. You can't be an empath right now. The way you power through is by shutting out some of the news and just living your life one day at a time.

What great advice. So this and exercise, dogs/cats, exercise, and chocolate. I have also been sitting in bed doom scrolling, but only do that if you want to feel worse…[/quote]
