Mass deportations already started. Impending punitary tax targeting long standing allies. Purging officials in government and military...

Yea, it's definitely getting scary and we're only 1 week in. With the avalanche of insanity and chaos that we're already seeing, it's hard to be positive about the future of democracy. Personally I'm trying not to get too absorbed in it and just keep living my life as usual, otherwise you just end up walking around depressed and fearful all the time. But man, what's happening right now is hard to ignore, and it's f'n terrifying.
