I am serious, how can y'all keep going? I struggle. Like really struggle to keep taking a step forward. How are y'all able to do it? I am looking at the end of the tunnel and all I see is darkness but y'all keep seeming to find a light and I need to know how you do it.

Jesus and caffeine. Seriously.
Add a can, and I'll join that
God, Country, Family. 😁
Pray a lot.
If I believed all there is, is just the world, there are a few times in my 20s when I might've killed myself. Faith is very powerful. Not that that's what's going through everyone's mind, but for me it definitely helps.
Ask yourself.
If you think the fight is lost, do you give up and die. If you think the fight tis lost, do you fight anyway.
It's very likely that fighting anyway will cause you to win since you have nothing to lose. They know you can win because they are fighting so hard to get what they want. Why are they fighting so hard if this is just all the natural evolution of progress? Because they are scared. Remember how scared they are.
I feel ya. It's like normality had a stick jammed in the spokes of the life bike. It's going to get worse before it gets better. Lean on your based pals, and I love this site, we have to maintain our mocking of everything and remember to laugh. We can weather all the storms, the left, they'll eat each other.
Humor. And occasional alcohol.
This world is as absurd as it is evil, but it's fun to laugh.
Helps to have good friends too.
This is not my first rodeo. I've gone to bed before, wondering if I would have a country the next day. Right now, I don't know if we will recover. But my inability to see into the future is no reason to quit.

You sound lonesome. So am I. But I plan on living, and I expect to prevail, somehow.
I am tired, each boot is get in my side is a reminder of all we have lost. Tired of losing friends from suicide, drugs, and gangs. I don't see anyone else that is willing to fight for what we have lost. I just want to sit down with someone who is able to see something other than what the TV shows them.

I have hope from GOD because I trust that what He said is true and will come to pass.
That makes curent events just waves on the water. Because if our foundation is the very creator of all reality, then what can shake us?
I believe in American spirit. I believe America is angry but they will let the legal system play out and when that fails Americans will rise up and take this fake Resident out
We are stronger, they fear us. Do not forget.
First, acknowledge that it's OK to be upset sometimes. The valleys make the climbs up to the summit that much sweeter.
Second, if you feel yourself sliding down, look for a light. Ask for help if need be.
Third, DO NOT DOOM and don't listen to doomers! Personally, if anything will get me flying in a fit of rage, it's people that take a kick at being miserable and having the need to pull everyone around them in. If you see people saying shit like "nothing we can do", "Stop, just stop". or "it's all over", FUCKING IGNORE THEM! This shit is counterproductive no matter how you slice it so it isn't worth your time.
Finally, if politics or whatever is getting you down, let it be for a while. All that shit is gonna be there when you come back. Till then, read a book, watch your favorite movie, do a hobby, talk to friends and loved ones. Stress is bad for the health so if the pressure is too much, unwind.
Sorry if this seems generic but hopefully you can get some tips out of that. Stay strong Pede, we're gonna need ya!
First you suffer... then at some point you realize you aren't afraid of suffering anymore.
What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.
You have to keep finding the light and motivation to keep moving forward. I came over here from Scotland because I was tired of living in a cucked society governed by those who have never set foot in my country.
Now, I live in the country that is the last bastion of freedom on this entire planet and they are trying to take that away from me again. We have to keep going because we're the only ones left who can.
God has gotten me through the darkest, saddest times of my life. 💘 I'm also so thankful for THIS SITE! It's such a blessing right now to know there are like-minded people out there and the world hasn't completely gone insane.

Work towards something to benefit the situation.
If you shut down, you just fall further into despair and you just become a burden.
It does not have to be big. It does not have to benefit everyone.
It could range anywhere from striving to reach an emergency food goal for yourself and/or your family to running for a political position.
Whatever you decide, have it be a clear, definable goal.
Not something like "lose weight"... instead make it "get down to 'specific weight' so I will be in shape to better defend myself."
If you are actively working towards a goal, it gives you more of a feeling of control. It drives away the helplessness.
It can also encourage others to find a similar goal.
It is still hard, and some days are worse than others... especially when you see the POTATUS signing EOs that directly affect your goal, but if you are stubborn enough, you can just dust yourself off and keep moving towards it.
You just can’t stop. As long as you draw breath; there’s hope. God has not abandoned us, and he is still on the throne. Step back occasionally and know you’re not alone.
Trump's (and TDW's) forte has always been about inspiring people to believe in that audacious, gawdy, bigger-than-life, American Dream. The spirit of liberty--that naïve belief that Americans could come together to build a better life; to live up to our ideals and embody the values that we profess. God, Family, and Country--in that order and with the characteristic independence of those men who fought for and founded our country. Not some leftist, utopian, ideal nation--but a true nation--peopled by real, flawed people doing great things.
Trump renewed our spirits--much like Reagan did when I was a kid--though in his brash manner, he far outstripped the Gipper in his unabashed America-first approach. His New York persona, built over years of success, had us all convinced that he could single-handedly take on the swam, and to see his Presidency blatantly stolen in front of our very eyes was a mortal blow for our nation and all true Americans. The constant drumbeat of defeat performed by a pessimistic press and the sheer scale of censorship provide by the Technical Overlords, has given everyone pause--fortunately red-pilling many, many normies. Those of us still here are committed in our support of President Trump and his ideals, but we are all seriously questioning where to go from here.
Truth is, none of us want to see our nation destroyed thought civil war, secession, or insurrection; however, we are facing that reality that our nation has been stolen by foreign interests and whose titular head is a senile suit--soon to be replaced by a socialist hack. Our morale is at an all-time low, but our anger is cold and targeted. To remain relevant, we need to adapt--this is not a hot war, but action is required on all fronts..
Remember, this site is a high-energy rally for the ideals that Trump personifies. We need everyone to get back in the fight and work with Trump to SAVE AMERICA!
Kek wills high energy!!!
Cause I know what is actually happening and why. How it unfolds and how it ends.
Let me in on how things get better because getting death threats really only paints the picture of a gallow for me
IRL death threats or internet death threats? Ignore crap on the internet. It isn’t real life.
If your friends are dying from gangs and drugs maybe try and get friends that aren’t into that lifestyle. It isn’t healthy, obviously.
Another thing you can do is take a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy exercise. It will show you how your thinking may be illogical and really helps make sense of all the craziness because you will realize it’s all lies. Something like this.

If none of that works, drop to your knees and pray. Probably should do that anyway.
Oh I get phone calls from people who found my name and address because I donated to Trump. Oh I just realized the way I worded it seemed like I am in a gang. I am a college student in Albany NY. Friends that died from drugs had been from weed laced with fentanyl. And for the gangs we lived in a student area prior to the flu spreading and everyone becoming unemployed. So the ghetto went from just down down town to parts of everything. I will have to give that a try, haven't heard of it before. Thank you! Everyday I find myself becoming more and more religious.
Wow, that is fucked up for sure. Stay strong Pede!
Got to love NY. Where old die and the legal citizens get killed by the illegals who get free college and healthcare
I had the misfortune of living in the shithole known as Queens for four years in 2004-08. Couldn’t leave fast enough. Can you move South? We still have a little freedom left down here in Texas.
I have until May and I graduate with my engineering degree and I am moving South. Even if that means living in my car.
