To stand by idly while our republic falls. It simply isn't in me. I cannot abide injustice at this scale. I hate bullies. I am ready to die for the cause of truth and justice. I don't care about optics, I care about results. I have children and I will die if necessary to give them a better chance in life, just like any parent would. I will endure any burden but this. I'm a normal American.

I understand exactly what you mean. I think we are all there. But I also think that we are going to be OK. Stay with me here.

There are only two possible outcomes.

  1. Trump is done, in which case 75 (and I think the number is A LOT bigger than that) MILLION people opposing what has come.

2.Trump has this and we get this resolved and fixed.

I think it will be the latter, but this is definitely a roller coaster ride. We need to remember, this is a Constitutional crisis. This isn't a budget filibuster.

A friend told me yesterday that each of us basically has 3 options.

  1. Run away somewhere and hide, i.e. move off the grid, move abroad etc.
  2. Capitulate to this absolute nightmare and live within the rules of that system
  3. Fight like hell.

I personally, right now, am sticking with Option 3, but doing it smartly.

For me, I must LEAN INTO the discomfort. Amor Fati.

Just my thoughts.
