The Horror . . . Redux

This piece in Politico today.
Trump all over the media all the damn time. I’m not watching it these days, but I decided to watch a little tonight. (Good panel on Joy Reid - who I sometimes love and sometimes don’t.)
I have worked so much on my mental and physical health this last year, part of which has been tuning out most of the time and filling the space with other stuff so I could try to pretend DJT doesn’t exist or at least doesn’t really have a chance at reelection.
But as the presidential election year is upon us I am feeling a clench in my stomach whenever my mind strays to politics. No actually I lied, it’s existential dread.
Is this really possibly going to happen to our country???
I feel like a battered citizen, with my abuser banging relentlessly on the door and I don’t know if the po po will arrive in time.*
*No, I don’t make this analogy lightly
