While I was looking something up, I recently came across a link to this video that was talking about a 2024 election and I have been trying to figure out which community I can post about it in, and where I can get someone to look into it, figure out what its about, and whether or not we are heading for dark days after the presidential election.

Anyway, It has made me feel very scared since it was talking about how the Democrats in the House of Representatives are plotting to block the certification of Donald Trump if he wins the election, since they are predicted to take about the House, but doesn't mention anything about the status of the US Senate.

It also mentioned the Stock Market is going to be having a 50% crash, the final fall of the US Dollar, there will be public unrest possibly leading to a Civil War, Martial Law being instituted, etc.

I've got some other ones for you that are equally worth spending any energy worrying about.

Vaccines cause autism! - No. They don't.

9/11 was an inside job! - No. It wasn't.

The moon landings were fake! - Nope. We really went. You can even see for yourself, with a cheap telescope.

Here is a podcast series you should SERIOUSLY check out. No really. You will find yourself much calmer as your start to understand how much bogus crap is out there, and how it's specifically targeted at people with conservative inclinations (and why!) and how to ACTUALLY do your own research and develop critical thinking skills (instead of reading bullshit with an agenda behind it and getting more and more anxious - and calling THAT "doing your own research" which is what these assholes all want you to do).

Also, seriously, there are treatments for anxiety. Politics can be SUPER stressful and our anxious brains can jump to conclusions out of fear. Therapy can SUPER help (as can CBD).
