Ok I’ll keep this short. Not sure if there is a related post if so then this can be deleted. I’m worried. I know I should not be. God can use evil for His purpose and His will. So why am I somewhat worried with how this is going down? We know who really won and we know how bad a certain side is. I don’t have a good feeling. Before they tried somewhat to hide evil, but not now. It’s in the open. I don’t know if it’s more anger or confusion or sadness in regards to the deceit and those falling for it. It’s all 3 but which is at the forefront I can’t tell half the time. Yes I pray about this every day, recite scripture, talk to like minded people but it’s just a bleh feeling. Granted I do spend a lot of free time finding out everything I can cause I don’t want to be ignorant of what’s going on but it takes a toll. How is everyone here doing? Any advice, opinions or thoughts?
Anyone really concerned or not that much?

I am worried mostly for my kids. I have realized things have been headed in this direction for some time but I will say it was surprising that this happened in my lifetime I figured it would be maybe 50-100 years away enough time for me to be okay with having a family. I am scared for my children (both white) who may face persecution and I want to shield them from that as long as possible while also making sure I prepare them as well. We made a choice that I was happy with- moving from an awful blue coastal city with tons of riots and now we're in a purple state that CA is ruining like usual. I'm second guessing since we bought a house if we should have maybe went a rural way with land since we are blessed financially but if things get bad in the next 5 years we may be in trouble since we don't have a way to grow food ourselves and are in the suburbs. But i do need to trust God while planning our next steps at the same time and relying on His grace.

I do and I don't. I grew up around a lot of people from former Eastern Bloc countries and fringe types, so I half expected this to happen haha. But I don't actually know what it is to live through it. There's a saying: "History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme." So who knows what this period will look like in the end?
I'm also not under the impression that non-whites will fare any better. They're used as a buffer by the left, but how many actually have any love whatsoever for blacks, hispanics, etc? Black Lives Matter is modern Jonestown. My parents grew up in the 50s-60s during the Cold War in slav families (my mom got thrown out of a friends house when she was 8 or so). Everyone has something to deal with at some point.

I didn’t realize this is in the ladies’ forum when I read it the first time. My husband and I are hopeful but concerned. We are praying diligently and have been for 4 years. There’s an awful lot of anecdotal evidence of behind-the-scenes activity. I’m both peaceful and anxious, which makes no sense. We have been stocking up food and essentials. I’m finishing that today. We bought a generator yesterday, something we’ve been planning for awhile anyway. Prayer and prep is about all we can do. Prayer being the most important. I dont mean to imply it’s a last resort. It’s a first resort.
I am concerned in the sense that right now seems to be a critical time to pay attention to how things are playing out; domestically, globally, and spiritually. Worry is not pleasant, but also not without purpose. I try to let my worry drive me toward productivity. Sublimation of impulse, and all that good stuff.
I don't view any potential outcome as a disaster, per se, because I believe I've prepared well for this scenario. The things that are happening now are things I've been expecting (principally, if not in detail) for a very long time. In terms of baseline existence, we're pretty resilient. I've considered extensively over the last few years what it might look like to live in a country occupied by hostile forces, if it ever comes to that. I think my family will get by OK, short of a pretty drastic kinetic warfare situation going down on US soil, which I think unlikely in the near future.
Historically, my powers of discernment are somewhat uncanny. I often get asked if I am a witch (spoiler: no). My husband is becoming more unsettled by the day as he sees the outrageous and unbelievable scenarios I painted for him with words and ideas and suggestions months ago beginning to play out in real-time.
I'll say this: people have been calling me a "Q-tard" since before I ever even knew what that meant.
To be clear: I have never gotten any of my crazy ideas from an external source; I am perfectly capable of crafting my own delusions, thank you.
That being said: I certainly DID take an interest in "Q" once I realized that the gist of what "Q" was saying was more or less in line with my own intuitive assessment of reality.
So I'm not gonna be like "TRUST THE PLAN GUYS" - because I'm really not one of those people. I'm skeptical enough to throw out there that even if "Q" is "real" there is zero assurance that the outcome of "all that" will be anything like what Q's "followers" have been led to expect. There's a disinformation disclaimer baked right into it.
HOWEVER: the awakening of the masses is real. We are beginning to see that it is possible for people to wake up. THAT is the important thing: learning how to wake people up. Pay close attention to what is happening and how people (the masses generally and people you know personally) are reacting. LEARN. <3
Trust in GOD. But also remember that God definitely never promised any of us that we wouldn't end up living (edit: or dying) under the persecution of evil tyrants.

Great replies. What should make me happy is a handful of people I know have moved from what would be considered left to right or just conservatives but I’m still sad so many are still lost. I ask my parents if they want to move to a red state but I don’t know. Somewhere still north cause I hate heat. It angers me. a nice cabin in nature in a red state. The thing is we are in a blue state only because of a huge blue city but the rest of the state is farmer red. Sucks how one city can turn a whole state blue during voting. As for how bad it can be who knows. My grandparents were in concentration camps and no, they didn’t just throw Jews in there. Lots of dysfunction due to that and lots of pain. My parents are so happy to be in America but they are worried as well as to what’s happening. They know what being thru hell on earth is and I don’t want them to go thru it again in their old age. This sucks! On the plus side my parents are 2 people that can make anything out of anything from food to musical instruments so their upbringing definitely did wonders for what they can make with so little. Maybe I’m gonna say hey it’s training time. Dad show me how to whittle a weapon from that branch and mom show me how to make a 3 course meal from that piece of paper!
Lol I kind of know what you mean. I have a half assed superpower. I know sometimes when something terrible is happening due to a horrendous feeling and sure enough come to find out during that time something did happen to family. But you know what would be better. Knowing who needs help when it’s happening. Someday. It’s like the lamest superpower ever. I can tell you something is wrong but that’s it. However if that happens now I just start calling everyone. It’s rare but it’s the worst feeling ever. Feeling impending doom inside physically. But it’s only to family. That’s it.I am concerned in the sense that right now seems to be a critical time to pay attention to how things are playing out; domestically, globally, and spiritually.

I'm like this too! I am not sure if its me or just God doing me a huge solid in giving me knowledge through life, as I can predict a lot of things (except sports) except that doesn't mean I've always been wise with the information given at least definitely not in the past lol. I will give Him credit for that one anyway.
I was getting stressed in April/May, one thing that really helped believe it or not was that i had a (cheap black friday deal) subscription to an awful weekly political magazine that pretty much "predicted"/gave away all the future events. My husband thought I was overreacting but when this mag started going on and on about a "second wave" in APRIL I knew they were gonna hit us again. We ended up moving earlier than we expected as I looked at my husband and said "we need to get out NOW" and then George Floyd happened a couple days later. He started believing me, and we made it happen, around the time we were originally slated to move everything shut down again.
It so sad your parents are going through this again. I’ve often wondered what the opinions are of those who’ve experienced tyranny before. Having read a lot about WW2 and old communist Europe I agree. Nobody woke up one day in a concentration camp or the gulag. It was years in the making with behind-the-scenes laws and cultural manipulation. It’s happening now. It’s very distressing, and I wish I never read those books. My imagination runs wild before I get it under control.
I once saw a comment by Mikhail Barishnikov (spelling?) criticizing Trump “tyranny”. So, he sold out. I hope he’s shaking in his ballet slippers seeing the censorship. Surely he recognizes the method.
Atlas, you asked for advice. I’ve very rarely experienced the peace God promises. Recently I asked Him to show me what I’m doing wrong, and I was shown I pray manipulatively. I never ended a prayer with a sincere “Your will, not mine”. God led me to Jesus’ prayer in the garden where He asked for that cup to be removed if at all possible but ended it with submission to God’s will, not His. And that has made all the difference for me. In my heart I’m truly submitting, sometimes fearfully. Maybe This will help you or someone else. I’m not peaceful 100% of the time, but it’s a lot better.

Here are a few more tidbits of advice I'll share, because these are things I really need to work on myself and I hope I'm not the only one who has been falling short in some areas due to having my attention so thoroughly hijacked by the present state of national and global affairs. I won't mention things like prayer and meditation, because I'm a n00b in the arena of religious formality, and it seems like a lot of the other ladies here have that pretty well covered.
I would say "just unplug" - but that would make me a hypocrite, and I also don't know that I can advise that in good conscience right now. There are times when it is necessary to pay close attention in order to understand what is happening. I was "unplugged" for a long time and can get by just fine - but this is a prudent time to be on high alert. That being said, it is easy to allow our close attention and laser-focus on certain matters to cause us to become (often unwittingly) negligent in other matters.
My big ones are mostly in the category of "self-care" I guess:
1. Sleep. I'm running on 4-6 hours more days than not, and that's not really enough. 7 solid hours every night should be afforded, at minimum.
2. Bathing for more than just hygiene. On the rare occasion that I actually draw a bath to relax, I'm reminded of how stupid I am for waiting so long to do that. Hot water submersion is healing and energizing, I don't need anybody's science or voodoo to back that up.
3. Activity and exercise. This is a hard one for me because most of my screen time is on an actual desktop computer. I absolutely hate dealing with "apps" and mobile/touch-screen interfaces, so this is great. But I'm on my butt a lot. I'm not getting any fatter, but I can feel that I'm losing muscle tone.
I am beginning to think that a standing desk would be a good investment. Actually I could probably convert my current desk to a standing desk fairly easily. But mostly I need to stop being a retard and get back into walking again, and if karens want to hassle me for not wearing a mask while walking in the rural outdoors, well... I might have to say something mean to them. Oh no.

This should be in a different thread, but it was so disturbing I have to share.
We set our computer and search features on a brand new laptop (to be used for homeschooling) to strict.
For a lesson on sound waves/vibrations (and marine biology) we searched images on Bing (tried on duck duck go too), "How do dolphins use vibrations?"
After seeing what was brought up I tried my work laptop and a few more browsers. DuckDuckgo and Bing both brought up the same images.
The first page( all but five images of dolphins) came up as a diverse range of coloured sexual vibrators.
This world needs healing and Christ.

As others have said, yes and no. We've always had a resilient mindset and had emergency plans. Like others have mentioned here, I'm more worried about what my kids will grow up in than for myself. However, as a journalist (or someone) recently said, everyone thought Vox Day was paranoid for years. Now everyone is wondering if he wasn't paranoid enough. So we're planning for the absolute worse possible.

Stuff like this is why I not only keep my boys entirely out of public/government systems - I go the extra mile to spell out to them that the mainstream "woke" narrative is garbage.
Fun story: we were playing Apples to Apples and it was my turn to judge, and I drew a description card that said "Crazy" - and my then-10-year-old son played "Feminists." That was a riot. I try to teach them what's what.
I'm keeping them pretty much sheltered from the news, though. They're mostly oblivious to politics and world affairs.
They like President Trump, though - and not really based on my influence, I think. Memes probably have a lot to do with it.
They've always perked up and gotten excited when they see him on TV, or if they catch a glimpse of a photo of him while I'm browsing news articles ("Hey, that's Donald Trump!"). I dunno. I think that says something. I suspect our President is about to get four more years. We'll see. Not that everything will suddenly be peachy if he pulls off an eleventh-hour victory, but I know I'll breathe easier if he does. Even knowing that things can remain materially/politically/economically kinda crappy even if the "good guys" win.
I pray for my American neighbours, and I am confident that everything will be okay.
Mr Lamkins spent today hooking up the generator and setting up our gas heat. Tomorrow we are stocking up on several weeks of pet food, and that will complete our stocking up. I’m hoping we don’t have to break into that old bag of dried beans I’ve carried with me over several moves, lol.
Kitty Tantrum, I suspect so as well.
