    Hmmm, hey internal anxiety, what do you think is going to happen?

    Ah… hmm, really? Ok, ok… well shit.

    Don’t let me hold the lathe on this one: They’re going to announce an economic depression soon and ramp up the fascism internally. They’re getting the army prepped to join ICE in brutally deporting people they don’t like. Anyone that refuses during this meeting will be immediately replaced. Martial law will just be the start of the purge. Immigrants, sure, but also the homeless, trans people, leftists, sucdems, libs that actively protest, chuds that happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and there’ll probably be a few more fash idiots “martyred” for being more useful dead than alive while they’re at it. My anxiety is telling me to spend all my money on fun shit while I can, but I’m going to try and ignore that urge.

      Ok now let me give one of the best case scenarios:

      The orders come as Hegseth has unilaterally directed massive recent changes at the Pentagon — including directing that the number of general officers be reduced by 20 percent, firing senior leaders without cause and a high-profile new order to rebrand the Defense Department as the Department of War.

      Military mass layoffs babeeeeeeeeee. screm-cool

      Ignore that urge and save your money. Put it somewhere safe(er), all the better if a very trustworthy family member.
