Is anyone else already having anxiety attacks [View all]
about next November, if Orange Stalin wins? People keep telling me live in the moment don't always think the future will be catastrophic. Also that I can't do anything about it anyway.
Maybe it's easier for them because they didn't sit in a college classroom watching documentary after documentary about the death and concentration camps in Hitler's Germany. Or watching another documentary about infant girls being murdered by their families in China because of the government's one child per family policy. I did. I don't want to be a witness to those types of horror first hand.
How the hell am I supposed to just stuff it down and pretend that there is no chance of it happening here. I a damn historian and I know the odds of it happening are never zero?
I am not okay with just trying to pretend it's all going to be f ..King be okay because there is no guarantee it will be.
I keep thinking if I had a plan about what to do, if Orange Stalin does win next November, I'd be better able to cope, but I can only think of one way, and I don't really want to be contemplating that route as the only way out, if he wins. Not at risk now, but if he wins, I might be then. A part of me hopes maybe I could apply for Irish citizenship because my a couple of my Dad's grandparents were Irish citizens, but how the heck I'd find their birth certificates, I have no clue, or how I'd get myself and my dog there as I wouldn't have the money. Plus I don't think anywhere will remain safe.
Is anyone else feeling this way and how are you dealing with it? Because I need suggestions. I have already limited my news intake and have tried to keep busy doing other things but the underlying feeling of dread is still there.
