All of this is stressing me out… i’m going to Starbucks.

Relax, ICE may empty their facilities, bit life will go on as normal. The rule of law will prevail.
lol as Trumps court cases are dismissed
The rule of law is basically nonexistent
That’s why every bank has been robbed , chaos in the streets, oh the humanity lol ok sure
Remember, idiots like Cuttlefish will be pointing at the front door of the house right now and saying "everything looks fine, assholes!".
They'll do that to purposefully ignore the fact that actual transition isn't until late January. Furthermore, these people won't kick down the front door this time. They are going to be behind the house, filling the crawlspace with fertilizer and gasoline. While they are doing that, they'll count on Cuttlefish, among an army of useless dipshits, to claim "incredulous!!! All is well" to try to distract you into doubt. While you're fully preoccupied, they'll kick in the BACK door. And light a match. And what cuttlefish is just too god damn stupid and frightened to know right now is that while he's looking out the front window, laughing as neighbor's houses burn as they are dragged into the street and shot, he'll hear the sound of his own back door being kicked in.
Make no mistake though. We're all fucked, our kids, grandkids and their kids are also fucked. Cuttlefish is also fucked, they are just, again, too stupid to realize it yet. But know that anything you are telling yourself right now, focusing on how it can't get THAT bad, that's what you'd naturally tell yourself for comfort. That's fine, its human, but it's not true. The end isn't a cliff's edge, it's an increasingly steep hill descending into a mass grave.
We are well and truly fucked, American democracy has failed. Past tense. The laws aren't real, the courts aren't real, there is no effective policing between the three branches. It is over. That's hard to hear, to fully internalize, and it's true.
Keep an eye on the news, its version of cuttlefish's cowardly compliance will be the old "is trump being presidential?" narrative. Remember, he's only the dipshit at the front door dancing to distract you, the actual trouble is happening quietly, and at the foundation of your home right now.
When you demean me in your opening line it is an automatic fail
You are the reason to live offline. Your toxic attitude did it for me.

Cuttlefish, there's a poem commonly called "first they came for.." it's short, go memorize it, say it over and over in your head to distract while you're watching them rape your sister in a camp. And then they turn to you, with guns pointed, say you're gay and they'll shoot you in the head if you don't take your turn with your sister next.
