37. If they take my SS, I will not survive here.

My best chance is to sell my house and live somewhere cheaply. I'm disabled and have a chance at health care elsewhere. I can't risk being homeless. It's as if we are looking at a perspective that descends to a point of intolerable. Everything that he has done, even shit that is just completely unnecessary, like the clean water act, is part of the campaign to overwhelm people. I don't even think he making the plays. He is malignant enough, just too fucking stupid. And if I saw enough people protesting, putting it on the line, I would think about how I could stay and fight. Look at the voter turnout. Jesus effing christ. Lives on the effing line and the people here can not be bothered to vote. WTF. I live in a city that has too many shootings/violence for my comfort. I don't feel safe. Do you think it will get better when things get worse? I don't know that there will be some magic cohesion. We aren't the French in WW2. The resistance. They didn't have gangs and gun violence and mass shootings. I hope I am wrong. But if I'm not, my family will have a resource in a safer place. It isn't an easy decision, I don't sleep well worrying about this country, and the people who care and their future.
