Basically take care of your mental health, don’t get caught up in a cycle of despair. Focus on what you can do to make a difference and not worry too much about the things you cannot control.

    If he dies, they will toss some other obedient dumbass on the pile and continue.

    I really don’t think that’s true. They fucking worship this guy. Remember the tepid responses to McCain and Romney. Trump is unique, they can’t replace him. When he’s gone they are in trouble. It’s why they are trying to set up another coup right now.

      Eh, Dubya was equally worshipped after 9/11, and now you’re not going to find one Republican that will admit to ever supporting him. The strength of conservatism is that you’re not expected to have values or be consistent ideologically, it’s about being told what to believe.

      When Trump finally dies, everyone will pretend they never liked the guy and prop up the next horrible guy.

        In support of the statement that Dubya was worshipped, one can see LITERAL WORSHIP in the documentary Jesus Camp. Children at evangelical camp being led in prayer to a cardboard cutout of him.

      They own the courts. They own the election system. Junior has an interest in the throne.

      Sadly, very sadly, someone named Trump will be in charge for a long time. Fascism will fall, but not anytime soon.
