America In Crisis [1]

Yesterday US Attorney General Pam Bondi announced at a press conference a DOJ lawsuit against one of Donald Trump’s targets for punishment, New York AG Letitia James. It’s started.
A couple of weeks ago I said it’s as bad as you think it is. I was trying to say, “you aren’t overreacting”. It can be disorienting and I wanted to let people know they aren’t alone. Now I’m going to say, it’s probably worse than you are thinking, or can imagine. We are at risk of getting fatigued by the onslaught of stuff coming at us. It’s important that we as a society don’t begin to normalize it. Become desensitized. To think that somehow it’s going to go back to the way it was, because it always has. It’s too late for that. We have crossed the Rubicon.
When the Republican controlled Senate didn’t stand up to Trump this time, it signaled complicity in what amounts to a slow rolling coup. Like any crisis, yes this is a national crisis, we have to deal with what’s in front of us.
Every person has to cope with it in their own way. I don’t judge anyone. If you can’t handle the stress of it, if it’s all too much then find people who you trust and stay in touch with them often because the psychological techniques, gaslighting to use an overused term, can make you question your
own conclusions surrounding the unfolding circumstances. You are not alone. Always remember it’s not you, it’s them in this situation. Trust your feelings.
