"At that point, I felt my "higher self/higher guide" message that this was now the time for me to tread the middle and to work to serve the balance. That I was not to buy into hatred or fear or worst case scenario and this was how I was going to come through the next few years. I got a sense at that time, that the intensity surrounding the aftermath of the election was just the beginning."
I had a very similar experience.
I too found the response to Trump's election to be downright chilling. I have never had a high opinion of Donald Trump - I grew up in New York, so Trump was in the local news and on my radar long before he went national, and I was never a fan - but the way people on the left responded to his election was, imo, far more appalling than The Donald himself ever was.
But it was right around the 2016 election that I started getting divination readings telling me to "find the balance" and promote harmony. And I kept getting those same readings when the whole covid debacle started.
I too have been trying to "tread the middle," not by accommodating authoritarian bullies, but by trying to be understanding of how so many people seemed to be caught in a spell, and by trying to build support and connections with people pushing back against forces of hatred and vitriol. I don't always do a good job, but I try.
