I just want to know, how are you feeling non Trump US citizens with eveything that has happened so far? I can't even think of how I would react if my prime minister started spewing out even a quarter of the things Trump says or does. (not that the current government of Sweden is great)

    Tired, worried, so very very angry and so very very powerless and impotent. I can keep writing to my reps and getting form responses, but nothing I can do seems to matter.

    The fucktards want us to become violent so they can escalate and seize power. Protests don’t seem to be doing anything besides give them more opportunities to murder more innocent people and I don’t have the power to affect the economy in any meaningful way.

    It’s like watching a loved one destroy their life through drugs, you want and try so hard to get them help, but can’t force them to do anything. We’re at the part where they have ODed at least once and you hope it’s enough to get them to change their behavior but instead deep down you know they’ll be dead within a few years.

    Thank you so much for your insightful reply, the last part hits quite hard and gives me atleast a good idea of how it is on the other side of the pond. I really hope for all of yours sake that it gets better one way or the other.
