Just stay calm and stay focused.

I find myself writing and saying this a lot. People are scaired, angry, confused, upset, pissed to the Nth degree. I just posted this on FB, and it's getting shared around in my little circle.

Trump is insane. Rumor is he takes adderall (speed), which partly explains his middle-of-the-night tweets. He is running scared, because so much has been discovered by Mueller about his treason. Trump is a pathelogical malignant narccissist, which means that he will never apologize and never back down. He will tell any lie. Manipulate the people around him to get what he wants, or get rid of them. His mind is filled with dark dark delusions. He will eventually be brought to justice for his crimes, although there will be great harm and wreckage in his wake. The best way for us to deal with him is to turn him off. Focus on electing Democrats in 2020, because republicans ain't going to do squat to contain his madness.


Meanwhile, do what you must to purify his vile chaos from your mind. Hang in there. Learn about the Dem candidates on your primary ballot, and figure out which ones you think would be best to win the general election. Even if that candidate ain't perfect. None of them or perfect.

Don't nurture hatred. If you find yourself hating Trump, or any of his sycophants, knock it off. Don't pollute your mind with hatred. Channel that energy into something positive in your life. Everything that Trump does is a distraction. He wants us talking about his evil deeds, rather than talking about our vision for creating an enlightened society. We shall eventually deal with Trump and the greedy useless Republicans, but it's going to take time. So stay calm and patient. Patience is a virtue.

There are a couple of Democratic candidates who already have a slim chance of winning because they have been trashed by other Democrats.

Your plea to not put negativity into the universe is quite the opposite of Donald Trump's agenda.

What gets people demoralized is that the corporate controlled M$M is complicit with the right.

Hate is destructive, even if we think we are on the side of good. It makes us just like them.

Cannot give in to hate.
