7. Stop.

You mentioned in another post you are having an understandably difficult time coping with politics and current events.

Donald Trump is not the immortal God-King of America. He is a petty, thin skinned, DUMB man served by venal, small-minded, avaricious C-team enablers.

He does not have the power to cancel elections.

He does not have ultimate control over your life. All he can do to defeat you is convince you that you are powerless, you should give up because you've already been defeated, and that he, Trump, is more powerful than he actually is.

Stop.

He will not and cannot cancel elections. If he even made a concerted gesture in that direction, he'd lose a lot more than the top of his ear.

Stop.

Breathe.

Touch grass.
