This election has strengthened my anxiety

I may need to either up my dosage of Anxiety reducing meds or switch to a stronger one.

If one candidate wins, a domestic terrorist organization will spring into action and start a coup.

If the other candidate wins, I face an uncertain future where I may lose everything.

Either way, I'm a dead man.

I have been feeling this way myself today. Very much so.

Relax. It will be ok.

The President actually has very little power over your day to day life.

The US system is designed to spread power out for this very reason. We have a state government system that can resist the Federal government to some extent.

the problem is that it is not just the president but everybody downhill from him like his veep, the Senate, the house, the organs of civil government that DJT have studded with his own fascist ideologues to frustrate the progressive agenda of improving working class life.

I mean... look is that really accurate?

I have a PhD in Economics. Tariffs in theory can improve working class life. It would effectively be a tax on the rich that gets sent to the working class if done right.

It is not optimal. Economics states no tariffs is optimal then tax the capital owners and redistribute. But political science tells us that people are opposed to people getting " free stuff" so the tariff route is indirect and acceptable (and less efficient).

The left has a serious problem. I really hope the Democrats can internally discuss what went wrong and fix their issues, but I doubt it.

The election was rigged in Trump's favor.

Harris is the legitimate president.

There is no god.

I mean I did not want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I am also worried this election was rigged and my boyfriend is not 100% sure he doesn't think it was rigged, but obviously I don't want to sound like a MAGA conspiracy theorist but yeah idk like how the hell could the election go this way? well cause I was worried it would be a tight race you know but....what the hell? I already believed there is no god, before all this but I respect your sentiment of this being a sign of no god.

It was not rigged, stfu with this stuff. If you claim something without evidence, it can be dismissed without evidence.

You're probably right...like that is no way to be. No I suppose it was not rigged just disappointing. I am mad about but does not mean its rigged.

In history, the cooperative have bested the warlike.
