Anybody else feel like we're having one big national nervous breakdown right now?

I sure do. My username may become my actual state of mind (if not already there).

1. I've felt like that since 2015.

I can't believe that Donald Trump is considered a viable candidate for national office and is taken seriously on any level. Half the voting public has lost their minds.

4. Word up!

It should even be less of a valid choice now than it was in 2016. But here we are.

2. I feel damned if we do and damned if we don't

as far as replacing Joe.
And the prospect of Trump 47 is too horrid to contemplate.

3. Yes

Some people have definitely lost their shit.

5. No, this is more akin to the McMartin preschool child abuse fiasco.

Look it up, if you don't know to what I'm referring. This isn't a nervous breakdown. It's more like mass hysteria.

6. I'm vaguely familiar with it

and I agree

7. I refuse to have any sort of break down over this

I've stopped following the day-to-day rantings on the media shows. Why? Because I can't do one thing about it besides watch it all play out. We won't know how all of this plays out until after the conventions, so I'm chilling on the whole thing until then. By chilling, I don't mean disengagement from the situation. I still keep up with the news, but I'm not going to freak out about it one way or another.

8. Oh hell yes

9. No I think too many Democrats are having a brain melt.

10. I'm too embroiled in my personal nervous breakdown

The crazy national political climate just adds some spice to it.

11. A long nervous breakdown, like long Covid.

12. And that is the point of the chaos machone...

To befuddle you with every horror imaginable until you just can't take it anymore. It's the psyops version of the meat grinder tactics in the war ion Ukraine.

If you never read The Shock Doctrine, you should, it's a primer on what we are experiencing right now with a pootinesque flavor added. It's not very comforting but it helps you know what to look for when seeking honest information.
