I'm not so sure about lone wolf, the DA is reportedly being inundated with racist emails and death threats. Such as "we are everywhere and we have guns" .
It truly is frightening how far gone these people are. And it shows the real manipulative powers of a narcissist.
It got quite frightening just with Drumpf "giving permission" to all the horrible racists, sexist, bigots, etc, to spew their hatreds from the get go vs hiding under their rocks. Then add that
extra nasty, Neo-Nazi, white power, etc, March in ? Charlottesville, SC.
Scary before but wasn't that the first mass gathering?
Currently it's disgusting, but not unexpected for DA Bragg to have that threatened upon him. If DA Willis gets an indictment, NYS GA Letticia James and Jack Smith, too.
At least with Jack Smith he dealt with the Serbian War Criminals - really tough stuff.
It was not, no! We lucked out big time in my area - we were under a tornado watch, but all we ultimately got was a bit of rain and some thunder that lasted, like, a half hour at most. Now we're under a winter weather advisory, because what even is spring in Iowa
?
The stories coming out of the storms that hit eastern Iowa, though...

As for the main topic, I know what I'm hoping for and would love to see in relation to all of this stuff with Trump, but ultimately, if this could just lead to him disappearing somewhere where the rest of us never had to hear, see, or deal with him ever again, that'd be fine with me.
And if he could take his cult followers and the GOP as a whole with him as well, all the better.
Won't happen, of course, but a girl can dream...
Thank goodness your area was ok.! I though from the map I saw quickly you were perhaps northwest of it. Sorry to hear about destruction elsewhere.
I hear you about the weather. We have had a very unusual NYC winter very little snow, even with climate change effects. The latest snowfall I've ever seen was ?April 16th about 6-7 yrs back.

"Let me dream, if I want to.". 
I know that area somewhat where those courthouses are in Foley SQ north east of our City Hall, west of Chinatown. I was tempted to go down on Tues but was pointed out crowds would be kept 4-5 blocks away. Not like I'd see anything; but it's historic, and I hate that sewage bag of a "man".
For
once in his life, he's gotten an indictment. Teflon Don finally has a worn out section. Here's to more! Someday we won't hear much about him etc. Imagine being a NYC'r in this case having to hear about him. He was even relatively close the river (Hudson) in Bedminster, NJ. at his Golf club. Blargh
We've always looked upon regimes like the Nazis and similar and thought how absurd it is/was that a country could end up like that, yet we seem to be spiraling towards similar here now. It's mind blowing.
It certainly seems like it at times. Hopefully the Repuglicans will be defeated in 2024, and we fake back The House, and keep The Senate (though I've heard it might be challenging, and I haven't dived in on the details yet as to who's up for reelection, etc).
There's an organization that tracks Democratic, and Authoritarian Governments around the world (think it from Britain).
The also have a category called an
"Anocracy". A term I'd never heard till last year.
From Dictionary.com
noun, plural a·noc·ra·cies
government that is a hybrid of democracy and autocracy, often as a transitional phase when one of these forms of government takes on characteristics of the other:
Political scientists noted significant democratic reforms in the traditionally authoritarian regime’s evolution to anocracy.
In this case they declared while Drumpf was in office that the USA was now an anocracy.
It is scary but I certainly have hope we can overcome this.
History has also shown us swerves, twists, and turns. I will will try to do my little part to keep our imperfect Democracy, and improve it.
