I am going to be honest with all of you. I'm not doing very well. My hope, my resolve, my faith, they were all crushed today. I've probably gone through all of the stages of grief 4 times in the last 8 hours. I feel weak, and scared, and alone. And I feel like I'm letting you all down, because I'm not holding the line. Hell, I'm barely holding it together at all.
My wife, thank God for her, has stayed strong as hell today. She's been a fucking rock while I circled the damn drain.
Thank you all. Thank you for your courage, and your energy, and your memes. I want to believe that this isn't as bad as it seems, but I'm having a really hard time seeing through the darkness right now.
I'm sorry for this stupid post. I don't have anyone I can go to right now. I can't burden my wife with this. I love every single one of you bastards.
I was there today. It was fucking epic! This is far from over. Take heed, I know times get tough and it is hard to stand strong when it seems like everything is against you, but if you were here today - you would think completely different. Hold the fucking line.
Tell us more... please...
Today, the people directly challenged the federal government, and the government flinched. And the people then peacefully stood down. Remarkably little violence, but not a soul in the swamp sleeps peacefully tonight.
It’s something.
