49. Yeah, I expect him to declare himself god any day now

Mon Jun 1, 2026, 07:42 AM

Monday

he makes being in the US terrifying.

I wake up every morning, wondering what new fuckery has happened overnight with that feeling of imminent doom in my stomach.

It's not good for me, but not looking at news (through the DU filter) is worse than knowing what's going on.

It feels like we're under siege with no relief.

The worst part is knowing that there are people out there who are 100% behind every single thing he does or says. I live among them and they are profoundly stupid.

I escape into video games or books, where things might get bad, but in the end, good wins over evil.

Seems that doesn't happen in the real world anymore.
