I feel so incredibly sad and exhausted at what has happened to my country. The US has had its flaws, sure. I was born in the late 90s and just within my own lifetime everything I grew up with has been ripped to pieces as an adult over and over again.

It’s some sort of sick joke.

I no longer have any hope for the future and am just bracing for impact at this point with what little I have.

The fact that he can make these statements and there still are people ignoring or defending him is just so incredibly gross and further proves how f’ed we are.

Basically at this point I don’t think there’s any comfortable way out of this, it’s going to be a very painful and costly road ahead for us and I don’t know if I really believe in this country anymore. If we actually make it to a real election in 4 years I’ll eat my words, but seeing how this is just starting I would say its extremely unlikely.

Trump seems content on driving us off a cliff

Id love for the US to transition to having less influence globally without totally collapsing, but if this is how we do it, so be it.

It’s kinda the devil we know situation, if the US steps down, who steps up? Are they going to be better or worse, who knows. I never really bought into the notion that we had to be the world police or that all the evil stuff we did, we did because we had to.

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.

I think quite simply, it makes him look crazy.

Basically just seems like a normal, intelligent, albeit edgy (with reason) young adult.

I’m curious to see how he’s painted by the media now that most of his accounts have been deleted it won’t be possible to understand who he was without the media telling us.
