The Closer We Get..

.. the greater the despair.
I’ve read some real humdingers today: numerous articles about the LA fires, the unfathomable destruction, the blame game (launched by youknowwho). A few articles about today’s sentencing of the president-elect, first felon president. An article about the state of our economy under our outgoing president, an amazing gift to the incoming guy. An analysis of what should comprise a healthy resistance, and how the incoming admin will work to undermine and weaken those institutions (education, nonprofits, media, organized labor).
All of my reading today contained some foreboding language about what’s to come with trump in control of it all. We will steel ourselves to his childish vindictiveness, his ire, his blame shifting, his undue credit claiming, or just his default: casually lying about absolutely everything. Combined with the power he’s amassed, we are going to be living in a true nightmare.
I’m not sure what to do. Again. Staying informed comes at a great cost. I’m agitated and scared all over again.
