i don't know what's going to happen

that's the worst of it.

But I believe that soon we will learn whether we have turned from a nation of laws to a nation of men.

1. As human beings, bound by time and space, we NEVER know what's going to happen.

The secret to inner peace is to learn to accept that.

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. -- Helen Keller

2. i have certainly spent the better part of my life

growing up in America, where I knew we were a democracy that followed laws. that's out the window. i don't mean the daily normal insecurity. i know better than most people that we can die at any time for instance. this is different.

3. Keep hanging in there.

It's so damned discouraging, watching these clowns make a mockery of our Constitution. How far are they willing to go? How far are their enablers willing to allow them to go?

I guess we'll all find out soon enough.

4. that's precisely the precipice we're on

we're about to learn whether America will slide into Autocracy.

Trump "joked" about ruling as a despot yesterday. He used that word, which I'm shocked he knew.

This isn't funny. There will be blood in the streets before the end.

5. i agree

i don't think we'll have an all out war, but i definitely agree that regardless of the outcome there will be violence. i know i'll be in the streets marching and protesting until he's not president any more.
