I agree. I am a patriotic American. I try to stay positive about the health/state of our nation. But I’ve never felt so many unsettling emotions at once in my life - disbelief, incredulity, nausea, hope, irritation, and more. I feel like I am witnessing the demise of my country and don’t know what to do about it. I vote for people I think will try to make a difference, only to find that they are imposters or that they are hampered in doing the will of the people by the other “bad apples” in Washington. I want to hit someone, but I don’t know who - and I’m not a violent person! I want to shake someone and say, “Wake up! What are you DOING?”
My thoughts exactly - amazing you are having the very same feelings. It is really a gut wrenching fear and not knowing what to do about it.
