Showing Original Post only (View all)Need help calming my fears please! [View all]
Im becoming more and more afraid of a possible DT win. I read a report that there has been more rep voter registrations than dem. Another report that KH is now losing. More reports of Trump having all these people in the grip of his cult. People who have no religious affiliation cares more about character and morals than Evangelicals do.
What is happening to our country? How has America gone from a free democracy to nearing a fascist country in only a few short years? How did we miss the signs? Why did we ignore the signs? How are we going to fix this?
I feel like Im being batted back and forth between extreme highs and lows. Does anyone else feel the same?

Stop watching the political news. If you are up to it volunteer for call banking.

Yup, the most important coin toss in the history of America. The stakes couldn't be higher. Thanks!

Yes, the uncertainty is so stressful! And knowing some Americans know about DT, Jan 6, Project 2025 but support him!?!

It's definitely a puzzle how anyone can support him. Guess that's what cults are all about, making the crazy seem

She's still leading in the polls. She has more money and more organized ground game.

Our country is what it is because ignorance is always wanting to take over.

Maybe you need to step back from politics for at least a few days and relax.

Really I've stopped looking at polls lately, but that doesn't stop me from seeing headlines...
