I don't always agree with what you say, but I can't argue with the way you feel about the disgraceful sh1t that is America right now.
I hope you do survive. I hope your country does what it needs to do and ends this properly.
No, this will not end peacefully at all. It may lead to Armageddon.

I don't mean to come across as rude/dismissive, but this sounds a bit OTT and over-dramatic IMO.
And for the most part (in the Western world at least) we can still vote in elections, etc.

Oh, I dunno. If Trump loses (especially by a narrow margin) he won't accept the result, just like he didn't accept that Clinton actually won in the popular vote back in 2016. What you're seeing now is the dress run.

And that'll never happen, considering he's probably rigged it to his favour.

Well, that's where he would be wrong then.
I don't mean to generalise here, but I think another potential issue is that quite a few people seem to be increasingly (and in a lot of ways, understandably) blase about politics in general (on both sides of the Atlantic), and simply appear to have given up voting completely over the past decade or so, and tend to fixate on 'singular' issues, in particular those affecting individual politicians within opposition parties, rather than the bigger picture.
But who knows, perhaps the political pendulum could start swinging back in the opposite direction from now on, especially as current events have proved to be a big wake-up call for many the world over, especially those who have been complacent with their heads buried in the sand over more recent years.

Maybe we should focus on the desperate state the OP is in rather than amateur political hour or repeated doom-mongering.
Dude actually has something to worry about, happening to him right now.

I agree entirely, even though it's dead easy for many of us to get carried away with politics and the like which I shall cease immediately.
And I agree we should all try to lay off the doom-mongering (e.g, predictions of Armageddon) as well.
Oh, indeed! It's something we all have to deal with. It's hugely demoralising.
Take care of yourself, Charlie.

As Carnation says, six weeks suggests you're past the worst unless I'm reading the stats incorrectly. Its hardly surprising you're having protests/riots over there, I saw the video of that poor guy on youtube. It was horrific. Look after yourself.

I hope you stay safe, Charlie. Things will get better and you've fought past plenty of things in your life so this won't stop you. :hugs:
Just a thought. I mentioned in another thread that the social upheaval in the US and the protests will lead to pockets of the virus spreading. Being that you claim to have been dealing with the virus, you're putting others in harms way. While I'm 100% in favor of the marches and protests, its that fact that prevents me from participating. Just something to consider.
Positive thoughts
Those BLM protests haven't only been happening in the USA and UK, they have also spread to other parts of the world including mainland Europe and Australia. Kind of ironic considering BAME persons are deemed more at risk from the virus.
I'm also kind of surprised that this weekend's protests in Central London haven't (as yet) been hijacked by the EDL/Britain First camp, nor (conversely) the ISIS/Al-Queda camp, which probably might have happened a few years back. And the press hardly ever seems to talk about the former anymore.
And, likewise, I wonder if there is a Disabled Lives Matter (DLM) movement. Not that I intend to start or join one, but I am just curious, especially as persons with disabilities (of all 'races') have often been treated with very similar contempt by the 'system' the world over as BAME persons, but often gets overlooked compared to systemic racism (which I am not denying is despicable). A notable example being Winterbourne View near Bristol in the late 2000s and very early 2010s.

Fortunately I live in a classy country that values the rule of law, respect for others property, and the police. Enjoy your mobs and anarchy.

Exactly, Blue Iris.
And what would the 'low life' fraternity of this country really achieve in the long run from pilfering 'material goods' such as TV sets, trainers, etc, ram-raiding and burning down buildings, and going on shooting/stabbing rampages and the like over an incident (while despicable) that happened in the USA?
A conviction and possible catching (and spreading even further) COVID-19.
Plus I really cannot stand the gloaters and those who constantly label the UK as the 'laughing stock of the world' during all of this!!

The rule of law, respect for private property and the legal system of due process of law are the values that built western civilization, without them you will not have respect for human life. You will have political diktat, camps, and mobs. Your choice.

But so far it's only just a tiny faction of baying mobs infiltrating the demos in Central London with their own hidden agendas, and not out-and-out 'civil war' on the streets of Britain. And unlike certain other countries of the world, we aren't routinely 'trigger-happy' here either.

Once again people satisfying their own putrid ego's in one of the very few threads where somebody has genuine, serious, immediate problems.
Some of you really are scumbags.
Sorry, Joe, you're right, I shouldn't have bitten.

I'll say! Punks!

I personally find that uncalled for, as I am merely voicing my own opinion.
And I DO have 100% sympathy for the concerns of the OP, but at the same time, I don't recommend people threatening others with guns.

But that's what we are!
Charlie, I was wondering where you were.
I hope you stay safe and check back in again soon.

Well I suggest you look to somewhere like the Middle East then, where they forever seem to be setting bombs off.

Not quite true, they were already killing each other long before the first Iraq war nearly 30 years ago.
And it wasn't just us involved either. Rightly or wrongly, we were roped into the conflicts mostly in order to appease our 'allies' across the Atlantic.
