We all love our country - and the rest of the world - or else we wouldn't be on Daily Kos.
Trump and his quislings have affected us all in profoundly negative ways. We are a country deeply divided. Over one third of our fellow adult Americans support an evil and deeply flawed man who they worship like a god. Reality doesn't matter. Reason doesn't matter. The law doesn't matter. Common sense doesn't matter. Killing 150,000 Americans and counting through sheer idiocy and delusion doesn't matter. Being a blatantly proud racist during the worst riots since 1968 doesn't matter.
What we are living through is so bad scholars will be studying what happened to our country under Trump for thousands years! It's a clearest of clear cautionary tales. How did our system of goverment & laws, mass & social media, educational and religious institutions so badly fail us?
But forget about all of what I just said for minute. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO PROTECT YOUR SANITY DURING THE NEXT SIX MONTHS? That's what I care about: Each and everyone of you! No matter what happens your well being is what counts most.

Refresh, rejuvenate and reset. We will all be in a better place as we go off to war in the next six months!
