I truly wish that I was much smarter.

And younger.

I wish I was smart enough to figure out how to put a stop to what Trump is doing.

I wish i knew how to organize large groups of people.

One of the problems, of course, is that you risk your life gathering with others to protest. MILLIONS need to be protesting.

This stuff is coming over us like a steam roller. It's terrifying that we essentially have to sit and watch it.

We are so divided as a country, by design of course, that any large scale backlash could actually result in something close to a civil war.

As I/We watch it and type and talk about it, we are being destroyed.

It's heart breaking.

their respective supreme courts.

We can continue to tank the economy enough. Trump's policies and volatility will aid us. It's ugly, but we need to save humanity and Democracy. Let the reich-wingers gather and breathe on each other. Next year at this time, we can stand over their graves and say, "I told you so".

This is the deadliest hoax in history.

if this was the end of mankind when the thing starts mutating and coming back again and again and again. All we can do is take one day at a time, protect ourselves as best we can and continue the fight the safest way possible. It's very discouraging. I never thought I'd be experiencing something like this in what are supposed to be my "golden years." In some ways I'm glad I'm not young, but I'd love to be smarter.

I'm sick and I'm having horrible anxiety. On the verge of a panic attack. Hate to admit it, but there it is.

You're smart enough, Vinca.

save us, we need to save ourselves. But you wonder, how some people sleep at night especially those repigs who gave him free reign.

I hope they choke on their greed.
