No shame in feeling scared, overwhelmed and not knowing what to do. To me feeling one's feelings doesn't preclude taking action. These are confusing times. Give yourself some grace.
This is true, it’s just even harder when you know the people who should represent you respect the cynosures and fear that your influence is as corrosive to their beloved, enduring monuments as the fascists. An unfamiliar future and a desolate future are one and the same to them
Remember, Joe Biden now has Immunity!, Time to prepare for and provide him with a true blue congress in 2024 so that he can right the ship and clean house. We are the instruments of this achievement, aid all of your friends and family in providing the tools needed to removed the republican cancer!
I don't feel like our side has any leaders with the stomach for what has to be done to undo what's happened.
Regardless of how this ends, the American project our founders started ended today and we have to rebuild from square one. We have lords and kings now and there are no laws, only power.

My beloved was always voice of reason and calm, talking me off the metaphorical ledge when I was terrified about what's happening in this country. He passed away last year.

Feeling one’s feelings and processing them is a crucial part of taking action. Feeling scared, angry, overwhelmed etc are warning signals that things are not aligned with your values or the natural order of things. And you can’t take action if you live in denial. Denial will eventually harm you too.
