As an American I think I'm going insane? The last 3 weeks have been some of the most anxious and stressed I've ever been.

Trump's first term was nothing like this, there's a feeling of apathy in the air among people and coworkers (I live in a very liberal city in the deep south). Folks around here just seem to be on edge at all times, whether you're pro or anti in a much more divisive way.

There's a strange feeling knowing there's a solid chance we won't make it out of this one. There have been plenty of times in the past where we've had doom and gloom (Trump v1, conservatives and Obama), etc. Nothing ever happens, but this time I'm fairly confident the country I was born into will be dead and gone given the shear destruction being waged against our institutions.

I'm protesting and will continue to do what is needed to ensure 47 isn't the final chapter.

It's because this isn't Trump's term. It's elons. And I know people say that to make fun of them, but it's also said because it's actually true.

Trump is incompetent. Useless. Corrupt. Elon has actual dedication, he's shit at it, but he actually tries. He's not lazy. But he's still corrupt

It's more than Elon's.. There's a lot of crypto billionaires behind the scenes.

Protesting is a good start, but I'd say the McMillan TAC-50 is a better choice at this point.

Im normally against gun ownership, but these are not normal times, these are times to use that 2nd amendment in your constitution for what it was created.
