(18,536 posts)while my personal losses are nowhere as painful as yours, my take on the overall gestalt of things (if that's the right word) is equally difficult to handle . . . like you and everyone else, I don't know what's going to happen next, or what that grotesque excuse for a human being is planning for his final month . . .
all I can tell you is "this too shall pass" . . . we survived Nixon, Reagan, and two Bushes, and we'll survive this one as well . . . granted that our current "leader" is several degrees of magnitude worse than any previous, and granted that he's managed to hoodwink millions into his cult . . . all that means is we'll have to work harder and longer to undo the damage and re-affirm what America is truly about . . . we have an incoming president who may well be the perfect person to initiate this process, so we can be, if not optimistic, at least hopeful . . .
hang in there, friend . . . there's lots and lots of us feeling much the way you do . . . we just have to keep supporting the new administration and supporting each other . . . the United States was founded on principles of liberty and equality that aren't going to die no matter how hard Trump tries to kill them . . . as the whole story of the tragedy that is Trumpism becomes clearer and clearer with time, even most of his supporters will eventually remember what America is really all about . . .
prayers and good vibes coming your way from all directions, from thousands of people you don't even know . . . understand that, and know that "this too shall pass" . . . the idea that is America is simply too good to believe otherwise . . .
God bless . . .
