For me they come in waves. Like each of them rolls over me in a day and I get up the next day and they roll over me again. I just keep experiencing each stage again and again.
It's easy to get stuck on anger because so much of what the MAGA monster show does is designed to enrage us. I mean each new thing they attempt, each new order he signs, is intended to shock and enrage. His choices of appointments are meant to shock and enrage.
So, yeah, I don't know if you can get clear of the anger stage, to me if you get off of it, you'll come back to it. So, you only get a temporary reprieve. That's how it has worked for me.
At any given moment in each day if you were to talk to me I could be in any one of the stages.
Right now, I am taking solace in the fact that there is a fight going on. There are legal challenges being filed for nearly everything he is doing, which creates a stay on most of these things happening. So the announcement comes, he signs the order, legal challenge filed shortly after. Sand in the gears.
Part of why I posted Newman in The Verdict, so much of the fate of mankind now is in the hands of the justice system. Which I know many people have lost faith in because the gears of justice grind so slowly and appear to be easily manipulated by the rich and powerful. It can work both ways though.
The daily challenge is to find hope, something to cling to, because we are going to do this again tomorrow.
