I am waiting for a sign that the country isn't gone

[edhopper]

Haven't seen one yet.
They traitors are firmly installed in their Departments.
Musk controls the purse strings.
And the GOP House just gave Trump everything he wanted.
The Court orders are a joke that Trump is ignoring.
And half the country still supports the orange menace.

It will get far worse before, or if it gets better.

1. Perhaps you are finding what you want to believe

I mean literally you admit that half the country doesn't support Trump. Giving in to despair doesn't help anything.

[edhopper]

4. Half the country never supported him

He doesn't need their support.
I am seeing no loss of support from his voters.
I see EVERY Republican, the Party that controls the Government, in lock step with him.
I see the Press still tiptoeing around him.
I see every company bowing to him
What did I miss.

10. Well, it's one third.

One third support him, one third don't. And one third don't really care as long as they get their hamberders and sportsball. Here in Florida I don't see any loss of support, but not socializing with his supporters, I probably wouldn't notice until there was a huge change.

2. It can turn quickly. On a Thursday in 1929 the investors

were jumping up and down then on Friday they were jumping out windows.

5. And if that happens now

We have worse leadership than Hoover.

[rubbersole]

12. Ahhh, but did Hoover have an Elon Mush?

Amazing compassionate leader of men. Why, just yesterday he designated an employee that was vacationing in Mexico as the leader of DOGE. Ol' Elon doesn't want to have to testify at those pesky investigations and law suits.

3. I agree.

[stillcool]

6. it's a sad state, no doubt

but history is helpful. The earth is still turning, and we humans have lived through all kinds of crud and we're still here. It's only life. We will still laugh, love, and find joy in monumental moments, until we don't. Just be.

7. Very zen.

[Silent Type]

8. I feel positive, recognizing risks of trump reign, certainly longer term. If we fail in early midterm polls, I'll panic.

9. No disrespect intended but I think it's going to take more than just one sign,

[markodochartaigh]

11. It was 53 days before

Hitler consolidated his power in Germany. The Ides of March will be Trump's 53 days. If there is blood on the moon before then I will consider it a sign that our tribulations will soon end.

[Meowmee]

13. I am as well

I see some signs of trouble from R constituents in those meetings.. but they're basically being told to f off at this point. If R don't do anything and continue supporting this I am not sure what can stop it. Maybe midterms if that happens and is valid. I would like to see a lot more fight against this insanity and less pretense that any of this is normal etc.
