Diabetic Cyborg Life 9/13: Keep Calm, We Got This!
The US withstood the Civil War, Reformation, World War I, Great Depression, World War II, and Civil Rights movement and all the historical dark times. Those ideas and the words of the heading keep my pulse regular and my mind as normal as it can be now. Staving off depression and a great freak out that will land me in an institution of some kind is a norm since my multiple sclerosis was diagnosed.
Trump and COVID just turned the volume up on harmful thoughts that try to assault my optimism on a regular basis. The demons and bad things that are stirring around us seem to just get worse as Trump sees his polling is not good. He will do all he can to make voters doubt the democratic mechanism that we have and hope his lies work or people just will not vote.
He lied and said it was rigged in 2016 until he won, then all that talk disappeared like he lied and said COVID would go away this spring. Just have faith that voting matters and choose to vote in whatever way you want and do it.
