Trump promised to raid Chicago on Tuesday yet I have seen a single news story about this since it was first brought up Sunday. It is now Wednesday. So did they do it or was it just more hot air from Trump and co?

I passed through terrifying back when Q started pushing nazi crap and friends, family, and coworkers were parroting it and couldn’t be convinced otherwise. Propaganda is wild and people don’t know much history.
Roll the dice and hope it doesn’t play out that way again. We’re about as ready as we can be, not going to try and fight the power. We’re married white homeowners and very low key.
There was an elderly German couple that lived across the street from us for a little while when I was a kid. I’ll never forget her saying, “We knew, everyone knew. Don’t ever let anyone tell you they didn’t know. But what could we do about it?”
I find myself being obsessed with the thought of day-to-day life under a fascist regime. Like stupid everyday shit. Did people still go out to eat to celebrate birthdays. Did they save money for their kids’ future. Did they buy new cars or sell their houses. Did they wait in line at the DMV. Are new TV shows produced and watched. Do they file taxes. Do firefighters still drive their engines in parades. Do people still take vacations or put in swimming pools. And if so, how in the fuck did they do any of that knowing what was happening. Your elderly neighbors knew. I guess we survived as a democracy just long enough for most of those who knew to be gone.
Yeah, life goes on. What can I do about it without jeopardizing the safety of my people? Nothing, at this point.
We moved to a better state, I’m loving the first real winter of my life.
Getting chickens and probably rabbits in the spring. Time to prune apples, grapes, and blueberries as soon as I get a thaw. About to lift the main beam of my garage so I can repair it in preparation for redoing the roof. We agreed this evening that family movie night is Sundays and family game night is Thursdays. Our son knows to mostly keep his mouth shut at school and he makes straight As. My girl and I have some parties to attend coming up and I’ve got a cigar social on Saturday. Will pick up some work at a local shop this year to save up more money to build my own little machine shop.
Life goes on.
