I never dreamed that I would have to face the prospect of not living in the United States of America, at least not the one I have known all my life. I have never wished to live anywhere else. This is my home and I was privileged to be born here.
But today I woke up and as I had my morning coffee I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, something evil has invaded our nation, and our lives are never going to be the same. I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life so filled with hate that they will agree with opinions that if they were in their right minds they would never express as their own. It’s absolutely unbelievable. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone…..then I saw this and I think that it’s pretty close to describing how I feel.
Many who will argue how “wrong” this post is. My suggestion, save your time and effort! You’re not changing the reality of what we are living by trying to somehow justify this insanity. Nevertheless, I couldn’t resist because we’re becoming the Twilight Zone. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind!

Been up for only an hour.
Mr. Shannon: So are you serious about leaving the States?? Can you leave?? Where would you go?? I have friends in both Chile and Belize…neither is perfect, but may be possible alternatives. Have been to Belize and not overly impressed.
Look closer. See the last line. Twarn’t me speaking but only agreeing. ‘Twas another guest musings partner.
No, don’t leave. Just buy more food storage and ammo.
We are in deed in the ‘twilight zone and we must continue to be our normal Christian God loving God fearing selves and not succumb to the evil that surrounds us. We must be a light for others.
We’ve been gaslighted. ‘From Wikipedia: Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which a person or a group covertly sows seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or group, making them question their own memory, perception, or judgment, often evoking in them cognitive dissonance and other changes, including low self-esteem. Using denial, misdirection, contradiction, and misinformation, gaslighting involves attempts to destabilize the victim and delegitimize the victim’s beliefs. Instances can range from the denial by an abuser that previous abusive incidents occurred, to belittling the victim’s emotions and feelings, to the staging of bizarre events by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim. The term originated from the British play Gas Light (1938), performed as Angel Street in the United States, and its 1940 and 1944 film adaptations (both titled Gaslight). The term has now been used in clinical psychological literature,[1][2] as well as in political commentary and philosophy.[3]
