Reality has us in it's hairy grip: we are helpless beings, silly-putty in the face of the horror. This is going to be an on-going, most-likely-ever-deepening, law-breaking, norm-bending, truth-defying, democracy-destroying, constitutionally-challenging, heart-rending, soul-crushing, nation-wide crisis. The horror-show is scheduled to unfold hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly; coming to a town near you. Even the folks who voted for this shit-show are going to feel the pain & humiliation.
Pretty sure every one of us in this once fairly glorious nation will be in peril. The government is in the hands of the worst people imaginable. Hiring criteria for this mob? No morals, no shame, no intelligence, just vengeful stupidity, over-amped greed, finely-honed-corruption, easily-tongue-tripping lies, casual cruelty. Clearly, these people don't give a fuck about anything except power. The law, the truth, the constitution? They aren't interested in such quaint, old-world ideas.
Did we come up with a satisfying answer? "How best to live, now?" Not really. We are stuck with grappling with this shite. Aware, alive, awake is a double-edged sword. We saw it coming, we couldn't stop it. Shite. Yikes. Fuck those evil-doers. Damn the torpedoes.
