The Dalai Lama said once (and I'm paraphrasing) that change that can seem revolutionary is really a result of momentum that's been building up quietly for a long time. This comes to mind a lot lately as I see what's happening around us, and the apparent support trump seems to have. While I feel angry and discouraged most days, I also feel like any day now, any time, one tiny thing can push trump's entire house of card over the edge and it'll all collapse.
They remove people from the rallies if they don't show support, like this kid from Billings Montana last year who did not say a single word at the rally. He was not disruptive, just rolled his eyes when Trump spoke. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFnF3jAvpTw
This youtube is great, if you didn't see it when it happened. Too funny, but also revealing about how those rallies are set up. The kid was not only removed from the audience but placed in a room with secret service agents for a while. So much for free speech.

So true and thank you for writing this truth. Lightworker support is rising. Wednesday's Mueller hearings are now showing more truths came out during those hearings now that journalists are pouring through them and writing about what happened. The Atlantic did a good job of finding gems from the hearing. A critical mass is building.
And they dictate to the networks where they can set up their cameras, just to give the appearance of popular support. It's a lie.
Remember the saying “ Something good from something bad. “ I really believe this because I have seen it so many times. I do believe T* will not have a second term and much good and change will come because of these four years of terror from these beings in the T* administration. I don’t watch the news because they tend to go on and on. I only read the headlines to various newsfeeds and will only read the actual news if it is something new, and only once. I believe that more of the collective are horrified by T* than there are those who support him. Don’t forget Hillary got 3 million more votes than T*. And finally, as I read the predictions of June 6th, I believe these gifted souls that change is coming and it is going to be good. Don’t second guess yourselves by what the talking heads say.
I’m just curious how his ardent supporters will be like when he gets taken to jail or removed from office.
its not like they will suddenly start holding hands with all us snowflakes and sing Kumbaya.
I think there will be riots if he is removed
For anyone who wants to listen I am going to vent. We moved last week - it was hell, like moving always is. In between unpacking boxes and passing out from sheer exhaustion I didn't have a chance to check the news. A cursory glance at my phone told me about the shootings - my heart sank - I felt sick, but I couldn't focus on it in the chaos around me. I woke up Monday morning, still feeling tired - overwhelmed by the amount of stuff still to do. I checked my phone - went on Instagram, looked at some photos of a happy cousin of mine vacationing in Italy and then saw it. A hairy back, with a baby looking over the shoulder, held up by his dad, maga hat on his head - hashtag under photo of maga country. I fell back into bed, laying there, not entirely shocked, but numb, sick, angry, I wanted to scream. I got up and went to the living room where I showed the picture to my husband, this was his childhood friend after all, the man his mother calls her third son. My hubby just says, why do you think I don't talk to him much anymore. And that's it, that's all I get - when I just want to scream - WTF is wrong with you people. The world is burning - Alaska is melting - people are being shot in the streets and you A$$holes are still supporting this lunatic, what is wrong with you.
This same man who posts a photo on his Instagram page of him holding his son while wearing that hat, earlier also posted something about building that wall - albeit more subtly than this grotesque image. This man has known my hubby almost since birth - they were close friends, my hubby introduced him to his wife - they grew up together. But this guy came from a religious family and my hubby didn't. This man got married, my hubby was a groomsmen. He had a son, who tragically passed away before he was a year old - my hubby still cries when he remembers that time. This man and his wife became even more religious after that incident, moving to Wisconsin and having three more kids.
On my wedding day, I remember the box of cards people left for us. I remember finding his card a day or two later - inside was a letter, addressed to my new hubby and me. This letter implored us to accept Jesus Christ into our lives - it talked about salvation and the usual christian heresy that the evangelicals in this country preach. My hubby didn't even want to read it. I read it and wondered what to think - but I put it aside and didn't respond.
This man who lost a son, can not blink an eye at the loss of 6 children in border custody. This man who lived through tragedy, can wear that hat proudly, mere hours after a terrorist attacked a Walmart in the name of the man who invented that hat. I don't know what to think. I feel sick - I want to tear my hair out. I want to scream. I can't go on like this, I'll end up killing someone.
I hear you. I hear your pain. And you’re right. Most if not all of us have experienced this.
I hear you. Keep venting
We hear you. We see you. Breathe.
These people are in a delusional state. We can't change them.
Natalie, how awful for you to see that image.
I think I'm receiving a channeled message for you: "The only thing that will help you deal with these die hard Trump supporters in your life is to create and nurture your own spirit of loving kindness. This won't change these people's ignorance and backward thinking, but it will help your own sweet, kind heart. You will reach a place in this practice when you can look at images like this, you will feel pity for people carrying around so much perverted Christianity, so much intolerance and hatred. You can't change them, but you can protect your own loving spirit and have more inner peace. You are a beloved spirit. You matter. You are here in this life in this time for a purpose. Practicing loving kindness mediations will help you deal with your pain and your anger. You will find healing for yourself. You are important."
Much love to you, Natalie.
