[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, FWIW, I don’t think you were being needy or melodramatic.

This was a big event, and could have turned out much worse than it did. I live in NYC and was glued to the TV from about 2 pm until I went to bed. At various times it looked more or less chaotic and violent. While I was clearly in no physical danger, I did feel that this event was dangerous to democracy and that someone quite high up was clearly complicit in staying the hand of LE, which I find very concerning.

People overseas think this is a HUGE deal, I have no idea why anyone would say otherwise. I did receive correspondence from friends abroad about it, and the media carried articles about the foreign response. People were shocked.

Your sisters kind of suck. Even if they were asleep while it was happening, if they woke up and saw some emotional texts from you, at least they could have responded. Some people seem to think that only the announcement of a death is worthy of a response  :roll: [/quote]

It’s like the only “fear” people think is valid is immediate threat to one’s life. Those people literally sound like lizards, with no ability to use their prefrontal cortex to have other, more complex and nuanced types of fears.[/quote]

Or, we could read quite clearly what OP wrote in her OP. That she was "panicking" and the day was "crazy." She wasn't talking about "fear" for the direction our country is headed or just how divisive it has become over the last decade, or what will happen when the US dollar is no longer the reservce currency. We all know, that is not what OP was texting her sisters about. [/quote]
