I have skirted the edge of despair more times than I care to admit because I have absolutely no patience. But somehow, right when I'm at the point of giving up, I always manage to pull myself back. Or lately, I've been getting pep talks that help me pull myself back. After I have my temper tantrum, I wipe my tears, get up and fight again
Whatever you do, don't let yourself fall into the black pit of hopelessness. Even if you feel like you're submerged in the darkest of oceans... tether yourself to the light so you have a way to pull yourself back out if you sink too low. Don't let yourself drown

It seems they are ready and will control the protests but why one day before the protests mysterious stashes of bricks are being found near a protest site.
Near Freedom Plaza stashes of bricks were left overnight.
Officially they are for construction work.
So let me get this straight, with millions coming to DC, the Mayor shutting down everything, random construction companies decide to put "bricks" by the side of the road??? In all my life I've never seen expensive construction materials placed by the side of the road that were not going in use that day. Stolen is the word that comes to mind.
Persuasion through shame and approval: Covidiots and heroes
SPI-B psychologists knew that fear on its own would not persuade everyone. Messaging needed to be tailored to take into account different ‘motivational levers.’
Some people will be more persuaded by appeals to play by the rules, some by duty to the community, and some to personal risk.
It therefore suggested using both social approval and disapproval, with compulsion (legislation) as a backup:
The Century of the Self is a 2002 British television documentary series by filmmaker Adam Curtis. It focuses on the work of psychoanalysts Sigmund Freud and Anna Freud, and PR consultant Edward Bernays. In episode one, Curtis says, "This series is about how those in power have used Freud's theories to try and control the dangerous crowd in an age of mass democracy."
Look at the number of Trump supporters on this jet headed to Washington DC today.
