    I know what you mean. I largely predicted what is happening now back in 2015, and in this case it was my husband, not my therapist, who told me he believes “the system of checks and balances won’t allow it to happen.” He is an optimist and wanted to believe the US was still a good country. He now agrees with me and gets sad and angry any time something new and horrible happens.

      Same, and around the same timeframe.

      I never thought that being a history and current events enthusiast would become such a curse. This is some monkey’s paw bullshit :(
