Does anyone else feel like they’re living in an insane asylum or some sort of alternate reality? Fortunately I do have a few people in my life who see how serious this all is, but at my job and out in public it seems like everyone is going around business as usual.

Aside from going to the protest on April 5 and one upside down American flag on someone’s house I’ve seen nothing to indicate that other people realize the turmoil we’re in. No bumper stickers, no protest signs on lawns, nothing. Everyone seems to be doing their thing exactly as if the country wasn’t collapsing beneath us.

What is going on?

    If you looked at me IRL, there would be almost no outward sign that I was concerned. This isn’t because I’m not concerned, but rather because I’m so concerned that I jumped straight to hiding from the regime.

    I’m more likely to go do some anonymous anti-regime graffiti than I would be to fly a flag upside down at my house, or anything else publicly connected to me.
