America has been preying on my mind. I am getting more frightened for the people there each day.

It is safe here in Aust at least. That I know.

My son and his wife and kid are now safe in Germany for which I thank various deities. USA is going to get worse before it gets better too imo. He mentioned in his last phone call that one of his neighbours went out to buy groceries, but came back with ammunition instead. And that’s in a fairly civilised part of a fairly chill city a long way from MAGAland. That was the deciding factor that made him and his wife decide to get out asap. Granted, there’s a military base there, and a lot of people who know how to NOT use guns, but still … If the ordinary decent people are starting to behave like that, anything can happen.

  The way trump maga is openly defying judges and the law scares me.
  
  The way they data mined the IRS and OPM is terrifying. They are getting info for a purpose and it’s not a good purpose.

It’s terrifying, and I have a sinking feeling in my gut I don’t know how to describe. That feeling when something bad is happening, but it’s about to get much worse. Everyday is some new horror. Today the images of the Venezuelans. And Trump saying he was ‘being sarcastic’ when he said he would solve the Ukraine war in a day. Triggering because I have had narcissists in my life for a long time, and the whole ‘I’m not wrong, YOU’RE wrong’ gaslighting tactics used when ever they feel their status might be threatened is very real. It will not stop. Anyone who thinks they can ‘deal with’ or reason with Trump and his inner circle is dead wrong. They must have never had knowledge of this personality type. These people do not have any principles and don’t care about reason. They care only about power.
