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.
It’s all B.S.
The Democrats place too much faith in the rules of the system (the checks and balances of the three-branch government, the coming of a “blue wave”, etc) to even fully utilize their power (let alone bend the rules) to prevent the GOP from continuing to break the rules. The Democrats wouldn’t do what that video is saying. (I don’t think they’ll even have reason to at this point.)
And preppers have been predicting the crash of the U.S. Dollar “any day now” for decades now. (Just like evangelical Christians keep predicting the date of the rapture, but those dates keep just passing uneventfully.)
Take a deep breath, count to ten, and promise yourself you won’t believe everything you read on the internet (especially if it seems like they’re selling something) and you’ll be more discriminating about what sources you consume.
Okay, I just wanted to know whether or not it’s B.S. and I wasn’t sure what community I can ask about it in and thought to post it here. Now I’m thinking this may not have been the right community since I have been getting all downvotes here by the looks of it.
I’ve got some other ones for you that are equally worth spending any energy worrying about.

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).
