I Am Tired Of Being Shocked

[Baron2024]

Trump is going to do all of these terrible things. He is a Fascist. We keep repeating the diagnosis without trying to find the cure. The only cure is forceful Active Resistance. He is doing terrible things. He is going to keep on doing terrible things. The question is what do we do about it? How do we stop him?

2. Tired of being shocked... Have you tried being more cynical and pessimistic?

In my experience it reduces the frequency of being shocked, but mileage may vary.

4. Not Surprised

I might be shocked but I am not surprised. I have been expecting all of this and tried to raise an alarm about it since early 2024. I hope for the best but I expect the worst. And it is going to get worse unless we all take decisive action to stop it. I think there is still some chance to do so. Thank you for your comment.

7. For me, that doesn't work.

I have to keep up hope and remain optimistic to maintain my mental health. If I don’t, I’ll fall into a depression.

5. Exactly.

I was thinking about this very topic today. We can't depend on others to pull us out of this mess. History has taught us that it is the resistance, perseverance, and power of the people that brings real change.Bullies will keep on bullying until they meet their match.

6. numb, like a repeated punch in the face gets numb

and don't forget the whiplash of crap coming in from all directions. I was married to a guy like this for tooooo long, only without the 'money'. It's over, he died a few years after and I would love to see the maggot go the same way. Suffering and panicking. They wouldn't perform an autopsy because it was blatant diabetes neglect. Went downhill quick once people stopped coddling him. He actually said he was going to charge everyone with attempted murder if his demands weren't met. Wouldn't lift a finger to help himself.

the Andy Griffith movie 'A face in the crowd' is a must see for clues on how to handle this
