    hey this is extremely bad, isn’t it? this seems alarmingly like the beginning of a “worst case scenario” event unfolding. i don’t see how it isn’t, can someone offer a reason why it wouldn’t be or am i fearing this correctly? i fear this is a setup for the insurrection act.

      I would feel a lot better if everyone around me would panic. I might sound sarcastic but I really mean it. It makes me more upset that people around me act like nothing out of the ordinary is happening. I want everyone else worked up so I know I’m not crazy for being worked up

        honestly, i 100% agree. the gaslighting i am being subjected to is driving me, quite literally, crazy. i am in a psychology program right now in part because i cannot deal with all of this and everyone’s fucking complacency, cowardice, and inaction.

      Yes this is the next step in the fascist takeover of the US. These are the troops they plan to use if you resist their tyranny.

      The time to protest is now.
