I'm scared. The republicans are proven monsters and I fear we don't have until November
To stop this. These narcissitic pieces of shit are tearing everything down. They are monsters.
When is enough enough?
How many people have to die?
How much criminality is to be tolerated ?
How much bullshit?
The end of justice?
The post office destroyed,
The press?
Medicaid ,Medicare,social security gone?
I want to scream
When is it ok to break protocol as usual and arrest these traitors and destroy them and reverse the damage done?
We have to stop this.
Everything we hold dear and our very means to survive might be GONE by November.
It's obvious they don't care
It's obvious they are a death cult.
It's obvious they are narcissists,sociopaths and authoritarian .
It's obvious they are criminals.
It's obvious they want to destroy government.
It's obvious they are traitors.
It's obvious they are dangerous.
When will someone with sanity put a stop to these monsters, because I can't live in a world they want to create.
I will die, literally.
I hate them and I want them all gone! Everything they have foisted upon us since the founding of our nation erased. Every law,every protocol..all of it thrown away.
This shit is insane. It feels like I am in an abusive situation again,but it's the republican monsters destroying the country that's abusive this time,and because of covid I cannot get out of here. I used to escape abuse at home by dissapearing into the woods. There is no way out. These republicans want to murder empathy,kill truth,eviserate justice,and make abuse,rape,theft and crime have no repurcussions?
We all know they are narcissistic suicidal sadists projecting thier pathology onto all of us and I fear they would find a way to make us live in thier projections they are so depraved..and evil.
I am truly scared no one will stop them. Not the vote,the law...
How much needs to be destroyed before something is done to stop it?
How low will they drag this country down? How low are we willing to let it
be dragged ,the trump death cult has no bottom.
Why do they get away with this sociopathic shit time and time again! Why are they passing destructive hurtful laws?
I am scared now and I don't know if I can be talked down.
Help.

(36,203 posts)Make calls to voters. Democratic central committees all over the country are making calls. Theyre rounding up volunteers. Anything constructive to counteract the bad that gets us closer to Biden Harris in the White House.

(12,952 posts)I would love to volunteer but I don't drive and I live in an area where you can't get around it's spotty at best. How do I reach out and would anyone risk driving me anywhere because of covid. To get anywhere out here you have to have a car because everything is too far from everything else.
I feel so frustrated and powerless and pissed and scared.

(36,203 posts)Call the local party office and see if there is anything you can do from home. Its not easy I have a lot of moments too. I usually end up having to distract myself.
I_UndergroundPanther
(12,952 posts)Don't think there would be anyone up at 1:41 to take my call.
But I am still scared and sad.
And as more things are destroyed my hope grows weaker. I don't know how to fix it.

(5,755 posts)Do something other than focus on the negative. Focus on how good a person you are and all you wonderful attributes.
You have a lot to give to people and it shows in your concern for the country. Your compassion is honest and sincere, use it to be a positive force for the campaign. Sign up at JoeBiden.com and get on the team to be a volunteer on social media. You can text and help the campaign by calling voters. Contact your local democratic group and ask what you can do from your home.
The best advice I can give is to understand that no matter how bad something is destroyed it can be rebuilt. I have lost everything before and rebuilt my life several times over before getting it kind of right now that I am an old man.
Love conquers all, let love be your guiding force. Don't let their hate consume you, fire back with love and compassion. I'm reminded of the hippie girl putting a flower in the barrel of the gun of a soldier. Be that love.
With love, cayugafalls

(12,952 posts)That love stops sociopathy.
I don't know how to feel positive when it feels like everything is cratering in.
I really don't feel safe in this world.
I can't stand it.
Sadness consumes me.

(24,145 posts)A lot of us here feel the same way. It can be overwhelming.
I have to turn it off these days...... I can't keep hearing how many people have died today, trump's most outrageous and dastardly new deed, protests, on and on and on.
I did watch the Dem convention, and that was inspiring and heartening.
Give yourself permission to take a break. Watch old Andy Griffith reruns.

My heart hurts for you.
I am believing for overflowing beneficence to be yours. And a safe path and healing. 💖

(31,478 posts)We are not doing nearly as much as usual.
We had postcards delivered to us and we will be filling them out and sending them to voters in a swing state. The postage has been provided. I have lists of voters to call locally. We have yard signs. We have contributed financially to several campaigns.
Usually, we are out and about at many events. We are knocking on doors. We are attending meetings through conference calls and Zoom.
I feel frustrated, but there is always a way to help. Good luck.

(12,952 posts)Another and he got a good skritch on the chin and just breathed slow. I feel a bit better but now I got a stomach ache. After I take a Pepto and lay down I think I'll fall asleep. But some asshole with a private number keeps calling me and it should be blocked. The idiot has called me and it's 240 am.
I have not answered it and I won't. Fuck this twit. I apparently can't block this jerk.

(22,240 posts)Then when I 'tune in' I often feel like you. Also can't sleep sometimes. Then I feel shitty.
Things that help me are giving to others (or even thinking about it), trying to occupy myself
with things I can accomplish, replacing negative thoughts with positive ones, reading a joke book,
or trying to indulge myself in subjects I'm interested in.
I know how you feel. These are especially trying times.
