I dont know how else to describe it. When people close to me ask, how are you that is my answer, overwhelmed and under siege. My significant other replied, thats because we are. Some people get it.
At this rate, America wont be recognizable in a year much less 3 more. People talk about 2018 and 2020 but we dont have that kind of time. Every moment tRump is not removed along with his complicit Rethuglican KGOP congress people we are under serious threat, physically, economically as individuals but even more threatened is our form of government.
It is mind boggling the level of insanity and indecency that has been tolerated so far. Even if we manage to avert disaster as a nation, we still have the problem of brainwashed braindead people watching Fox and supporting tRump et al.
There is so much more I could add. Hell, Im sure many of us have great difficulties personally in addition to this toxic political environment.
Overwhelmed and under siege is how it feels to me.

The young people were so Putin it was surreal. I mean so scary.
Trump wants the same...get rid of opposition and become ruler in which all love him.

(64 posts)I think youve coined a new term - OWUS! Overwhelmed Under Siege! Says it all with the Tangerine Tyrant and his sycophantic psychopaths running the national government. Surviving it is going to take everything we have and all the fight we can muster in us! 💪

(1,019 posts)which improves what I wrote. Or at least adds to it. OWUS makes it useful for our era. It would make a great hashtag or even distress signal, like SOS.
Peace.

(5,591 posts)There is an underlying current of unrest in my psyche every single day. I have already had a helluva year without all the crap surrounding this heinous administration doing their best to ruin my country and my future.
The uncertainty is....sometimes quite debilitating.
I just dont know how we can turn it around some days...most days.
