    I’m at this weird place where I sort of want Trump to do horrible things? It seems like it’s the only way the public might snap out of it. I mean I would have thought his first term worked have been enough but here we are.

    Ideally we could all count on the Dems to learn from this and be better next time… I just don’t see that happening right now.

        Maybe they voted for him to do the one thing that they believe will benefit them, but not the other thing

          Yep, my step mom voted for him. She’s a teacher and still refuses to believe that he said he’s going to shut down the department of education.

      I feel it too. I think it’s also partially just depression. A mental health support mechanism, expecting the worst in order to not be disappointed.

      Our brains also have whiplashed, disconnecting emotionally after we committed so hard to hoping for a result that would have averted disaster, but feeling absolutely powerless in the face of mob insanity.

      I just hope a redhat wearing nutjob decides now is the time for violence so I can kill one. I worked with a bunch and they are evil.
