This Journal is in Reply to all what is happening in America Right now, I took my time to writte it down and to think my words, at first i was going to reinforce my message i have with people who still support trump, but i thought it was going to be Redundant with oene i did last year. I'm going to give some advice with my own experience over this aspect, but i'm definitly going to vent on the first Paragraph of this, so here we go.
1.- Fuck Trump, Fuck ICE and if you still think that Trump was the best Option after all what have happened, i'm pretty Dissapointed on you.
Now with that out of my system, i want to give my Advice. Some of my personal Experience i had on the Social Outburst we had in Chile some years ago. Althought the situation have some difference with our situation, i'm going to try to give what i can.
First of all, Endure and Don't give up, Hope it is the last things that should be lost and you should do whatever you can to help you Endure those hards times. Read a book, Do art, look at art, talk with people, keep your sanity as much you can. Find a way to thrive and stay with us, do your best to stay to see the end of this.
Second, Resist, there it is a lot of way you can Resist and you don't need to do all of them. Here my family participated in some Protest and march, but taking in consideration how Autoritharian thangs are looking i advice to take all the safeguards needed if you do. Find escape route, do a Plan with the people you will participate, stay with people you trust and Record everything you can. Being scared to protest is alright as well, not everyone need to be a fighter, there are other way of resisting! find your representator number and call them daily, make them know your discomfort. Share information with your family, share information around your socials, make your voice heard. The worst thing you do on those moments, is Nothing. Also, this mix with the previous point, please don't forget to rest if you think you are felling Surpassed.
Third, Protect. Protect your neighborhood, protect your family, protect yourself. Lie if you can, don't let them get in your house, organize to protect parents, organize to protect child.
Finally, Love, Be sure to love yourself, your family, your friends, find the comfort you can to make sure you let people that matter know your fellings. In the end, all concepts goes together in that. Do your best to help yourself and others.
Thrive and endure, you will be here once all this end.
Thanks for reading, and stay strong.

I'm scared of our future. Until the necessary people get f*cked in the arse, I don't think we're gonna see much change soon. And sorry for disrespecting Germany but this might quickly become worse than what happened in the 1930s.
I don't personally live in the US but I am very scared for my friends that live there hearing all the shit happening right now, and I don't even feel comforted for where other countries are also heading either...
I'll take these to heart and also advice them to my friends as well, we shouldn't have to fight just to keep living but goddammit I'm not gonna cower from doing so either, we need to now more than ever.
I've been listening to MCR again and this song hits harder more than ever right now.
