This anon speaks as many of us feel. The military is it. Remember the “scare event”. I think this process will take us to the edge if the abyss.
We are currently NOT at the edge of the abyss and have not yet seen the scare event. The storm is not on us. Yet. I’m terribly afraid that many of us have not experienced anything like what is to come. I was only in grade school during the Cuban missile crisis. But my people had been throught WWII and the depression. So I sensed the resiliency and so I was not completely afraid. I trusted my parents and my government to do the right thing. Now....wow! Who do we trust? We the people and our movement. And above all, God.
In watching Trump yesterday afternoon. There were times when it looked like he was pained by something. He was not jolly through the whole speech. BUT...he was confident. There were also subtle ‘tells’ when there was more he would have liked to say but stopped himself.
Time will tell. This is not pleasant. But we must stay on it. The last 3+ years were merely boot camp. The battle is yet to come. (I’m just really glad we are keyboard warriors.) I’m so glad we have this thread.
I have the uneasy feeling of the government and all of those institutions in which we had collective faith, so we were able to pretty much function as a society, unraveling.
So true. I've been saying for a while now, this is just getting started. I always had a nagging feeling that 4 years just wasn't enough to complete The Plan. It just didn't seem possible for a task that's "bigger than you can possibly imagine".
