It was both good and bad. It made me get teary....I can't stop the tears. I need a Xanax the size of a football!

I am not crazy and I actually am thinking clearly and realistically (good!!!) and THANK YOU!!!

But I am scared shitless since this is so enormous and it IS happening but so few see it as it really is.

I can sort of understand why people do not believe this is happening right now. It's too awful and it seems like it is from an old Communist playbook from the 1950s. It doesn't "seem" to be a possible realty to Americans in 2025. The desire to hide their heads in the sand must have been what some Germans felt like in 1935. The Germans who were realistic did what they could to get the hell out of there, leaving homes, family, friends, businesses, etc. I do not think Americans in 2025 are accepting the writing on the wall. I feel like an outcast due to this. It's extremely disheartening but your reply and posts are burned into my mind as I try to sleep tonight. How can anyone sleep?
