Signs of Anxiety

I have a history of anxiety issues and I’ve made great progress in addressing them over the last decade or so. Which is good considering that all of us here in America are currently subject a major anxiety producing event we affectionately call a pandemic. Between that, Black Lives Matter and the Alt Right Nazis, I’m anxiety ridden all over again. At least now there are some concrete reasons for that anxiety. Covid~19 is on fire in America making us the #1 Hot Spot in the world for virus infections. >No more Federal funding for Covid~19 testing according to the White House. >The White House has bypassed the CDC and now collects all of the data from the pandemic directly. >The Pandemic will just disappear according to Trump. >Armed Federal officers with unmarked vans picking up random protesters and taking them to unknown locations in Portland. >The White House tells us that they are targeting liberally run (read Democratic run) cities like Chicago or Milwaukee with their goon squads next. >The 1st Amendment is being ignored throughout these Black Lives Matter protests as peaceful protesters are being conflated with violent anarchists and targeted. Every time I wear a mask I’m reminded of how fucked up things are during these pandemic times here in America. What increases my anxiety is the never ending chaos fomented by our current President as he single handedly brings Democracy to its knees. Republicans Suck At Government.
