I could have named more, but I understand what you are saying. I understand the frustration and anger at the injustice and the loss. I do believe we are on a knife's edge (like scavino post on a precipice). I see what is going on and I want to pull my hair bald but this is where faith comes in. President Trump did what he said. We were told things ahead of time. It looks bleak, but that is where the red sea moment comes. We stand with each other and God stands with us.
But my counter is this: That fire isn't a sentient creature, and that's where the problematic difference comes.
Imagine you have a circle. There are a group of you in that circle. Around that circle are the hottest flames imaginable, and then surrounding those flames are flames at an even higher height, looming in the distance.
Now imagine flames popping up between you and your peers, separating you from your metaphorical partners.
Every time someone tries to get back to those partners and regroup, the flames outside dart in and incinerate the person, ensuring that you are ultimately not able to group up to create meaningful change.
That's basically what happens in this country now.
They want to isolate us and make us feel alone. They hold all the power and express it freely. When anyone groups up, they're taken down. Labeled as terrorists. Mockingbird and legislation supports. You're called terrorists, even by your own side, for simply being in proximity -- and some people say it even if you were on the other side of the continent.
While this is going on, we are pitted against each other. We have people murdering each other in the streets for X reason or Y reason, if any reason at all. We are told that if we don't agree with those reasons, that WE are the evil ones, and then isolated further.
We live in a country that no longer feels safe, that we cannot vote or campaign our way out of. Yet we still set our sights on the next election, not understanding that elections will never be legitimate moving forward.
The only options, ultimately, is the military stepping in and taking down the evil that has the country in its clutches, or the people taking it into their own hands.
The latter isn't pretty -- other countries, foreign hostile entities will try to take advantage.
However, the alternative from there is living in a society that grows more oppressed, where we have to think alike, look alike and act alike, where we are all under government thumbs until the elites decide we are no longer valuable to them.
I am sorry that I deleted my fire experience part of the comment. I felt like I was making it about "me" and I didn't want to do that. It was a good point that you made.
Thank you for expressing all that. I feel that way many times. The "answer" to all of this has to come. And I have faith that it will. But my spirit anguished for justice and a righting of things for our country and the world. So much pain and evil. But we are the lights in the world.

I also get what you're saying.
