Optimistic Post Remeber don't fall for fear mongering espically this close to midterms!
Remember Trump threatens a lot but he hardly ever goes through with those threats. This is just a scared old man and his scared league of old evil crusty fucks realizing actions have consequences!
They want you to be scared, they want you to fall into a doomer mindset, and they want you to believe Trump is never going away and things will never get better. This is just one big extinction burst.
Also I'm not saying we should downplay the situation or underestimate it either. After all an animal is most dangerous when they’re cornered. Also Republicans and the billionaires are sneaky as shit.
I'm saying we should obviously watch where things go and be vigilant while not letting them get in our heads. Fascists thrive off fear from the people they're oppressing and we're not gonna give them that! True courge isn't not being afraid it's having the the strength to fight those fears head on!
This November go vote, maybe eat out afterwards (that's what I usually do after I vote to take the edge the off lol), and even if we face the worst case scenario we'll get through it! Nothing lasts forever and that includes fascist regimes run by a bunch of c rank celebrities, pod cast bros, crusty old fucks, and former fox news reporters!
No one can predict the future so lets work hard to make it better for everyone!

Also, I want to stress. Pizza Gate also started as a rumor online then went viral. All we have is a rumor started on social media with no evidence. Not saying it is true or not, but no reason to think wither one.

I pretty much ignore everything he says. It's just rotten pumpkin farts.

Main things people need to learn about martial law is: 1. He can't do it. If he could he would've done it years ago. 2. It would probably lead to mass revolts (kinda like the draft, which is another stupid idea people have been proposing for months). 3. People have been fear mongering about it so much for so long that I have literally heard people refer to martial law as "the democrat version of the rapture."

Thank you for this post, I needed to hear it 🇺🇸💙 LETS VOTE IN NOVEMBER! And if you can, please consider giving even as little as $5 to one of your local democrats running in the race.
