The future you lay out is the one I am also preparing for. People I keep telling are getting sick of hearing me say it. I wonder if I'll feel any satisfaction screaming "I told you so" while we all swirl the drain. 🙄It sucks to see what's coming and people sticking fingers in their ears.

I just updated my emergency kit in preparation for the possible Trump-made apocalypse. For those thinking that emergency powers may be invoked for the midterms I hope this article gives you some comfort:

I wish gas was only $4.50. Can't find it for much under $6 in Southern California. Also as a trans person I'm already a domestic terrorist. Will be interesting to see how they escalate. Unfortunately I'm broke AF so I can't leave.

There’s a fourth possibility: they know they’ll lose the midterms (despite the gerrymandering) so they’re doing an election pump and dump. Convince the cultists all will be shiny after the midterms then when they lose and reality smashes in to shore blame all that on the new Senate and Congress and pivot off that to sow even more chaos.

"Even the most weak-kneed Democrats know that it's time to go for the throat of this regime."

Wanna bet?

Unfortunately, it is absolutely going to get worse. I just hope it is not as bad as I am feeling it may get.
