Cowards vs. quiet dignity
I can't even imagine the magnitude of the bad shit that trump knows will happen to him when he is not re-elected. He's scared shitless. The next few weeks are going to be amazing. He is a coward of the highest order. He is operating on pure fear at this point. There have been a few incidents where someone has charged the stage when he is speaking. The fucking idiot just about dives to the floor when a Secret Service agent even twitches.
Proud boys? What do they have to be proud about? What type of person gets a big tattoo on their forearm that says "proud boys"? What type of person loses their mind with glee when when a guy like trump tells them to "stand by"? I'll tell you what type of person...a coward. Let's make a new patch to wear!! Losers. Incels. Can't find women willing to have sex with them. Ugly. Warped brains. Stupid fucks. Small in numbers. Not to be feared. Fuck you, Loud Boys.
How to deal with these people? Ignore them. Don't be where they are. Be smart. Don't give a small group of idiots a large target. Be smarter than these assholes. Be quiet and strong. Don't engage. They will get bored and go back to living their lives in misery.
Yep, Trump is going to create chaos. But chaos will not beat us if we ignore it, because the process is going to work. The reason it is going to work is because there are more of us than there are of them.
They are actually, literally, really...dead stupid. And they are afraid.
And if you are worried about Trump launching a nuke or something without cause, don't worry, he won't. And if he does order a launch, it won't be executed. The Joint Chiefs and the entire military have been insulted by this knuckle dragger.
Do not let this guy control your mental health. Do not despair. He's going down, and when VP Biden is sworn in, things will start to turn around. This is a bad bad time. We all feel it. Some of us are on the brink of financial ruin. Some of us talk about it, some of us don't. There will not be any joy until late January, but joy will arrive.
Find solace however you can until January. Turn the fucking TV off. Stay away from people. Pet your dog. Count your blessings. Grow your hair. Don't worry about grooming your eyebrows. Have a laugh. Listen to music. Check in with people via phone or text. Take your clothes off and stay like that all day.
DO NOT BE AFRAID.
