I probably should post this in Mental Health Support. [View all]

I am wondering how to arrange my life so that I can cope with the reality of what is happening while still finding a way to experience happiness.. Today, I made the mistake of watching the news and reading DU when I should have been watching episodes of Outlander on Starz.

First of all, I take back giving Musk the benefit of the doubt because of his being on the autism spectrum. I was mistaken in thinking that although he is a terrible person that he didn't possess impulse control or self-discipline. I allowed myself to be influenced by knowing people on the spectrum, all of whom, btw, are very nice people.. Anyway, I am now convinced Musk hates democracy, is an authoritarian, and means every thing he says and does. I find his proximity to power and the functioning of our government terrifying.

This past week is unlike anything the American people have ever experienced. Never has there been a president who came into power with the traitorous intent of undermining our democracy. There have been presidents with visions that millions of Americans were against, but never has there been a president that is the enemy of democracy and all that is good. (Even Nixon didn't come close to this menace. He actually believed the air should be clean and that the country needed a national health care system.)

What we have experienced and witnessed this week cannot be sustained. There is no way that people can live, let alone thrive, while living in chaos and lurching from one manufactured crises to the next.

Something has got to give.
