Seems to be a lot of "Doom and gloom" going on around here. Thought I'd try to help alleviate these feelings of hopelessness.
1: We have been here before and we survived. Sure it SOUNDS worse than before and he apparently has a game plane this time around. But its the same thing. He is the same person. And if he could hardly get anything going the last time he was in office then this time probably wont be much of a difference. He had 4 years to get a game plan and get things done. He didn't.
2. He has made a LOT of promises. Again, just like last time. But has not elaborated. Trump is great at "trumpeting" his ego. But as for getting things done...? Well let's say he is mostly talk. And he is a pathological liar. So he just as easily will lie to his own people as much as to anyone else.
3. The GOP did NOT get the House and Senate. This means there is STILL a line of defense from him ramming his moronic idea's through. No matter what he does, he can't (legally) prevent the House from doing their job. He can hem, haw, and lie to his people that THEY are the issue, but nothing else.
4. He cant be elected again. This will be his final term as president. No, he wont be able to change the constitution to get rid of term limits. That requires a 2/3rd vote in both the Senate AND the House. Even WITH their current standing in the Senate they don't have those kinds of numbers. And there is NO WAY A SINGLE DEMOCRAT WILL VOTE YES.
So in summary. It LOOKS and SOUNDS bad. But we have certain things in place. Make no mistake its going to suck. He will do as much damage as he can but it won't be anything we can't fix. So just. Take a deep breath. Find that happy space, and say to yourself, "Only four more years of Trump." over and over again. As a certain comedian said recently, "This is not the end."
Edit: I am going to lock the comments. Mainly because I wanted this journal to be a source of comfort not as a platform to use to discuss the topic. If you gain some solace then that's great. If not? Then I will never be able to say anything to you to convince you otherwise. Keep your chin up friends.
