People are turning into monsters, said Tuscon, Arizona realtor Tanya Barnett. Ive never seen polarization worse than it is now in my lifetime. Im sick of being the country the rest of the world laughs at Im sick of being scared of what Trump will do next. And Im ready to focus on fixing our broken system once hes gone.

More at the Raw Story link and at the Daily Beast story they link to.
But I thought this was the core of the article.
Most of the country is sick of Trump.

(5,914 posts)At about midnight, when a surprise thunderstorm swept in. There was a HUGE thunder clap that shook the whole house. Car alarms started blaring. I bolted upright, and my VERY first thought was, "My God, he's gone and done it! He's blowing up the fucking country!"
I am exhausted by that baseline level of anxiety. This country cannot survive another two months of that fuckhead being in charge, let alone four years. Four days is even pushing it. My whole family is barely hanging on as it is.

(11,005 posts)64 years old, and I'm having nightmares that the president is going to blow up the world. There's something really wrong with this.
Hopefully tonight, we will get word that we are on the way out of this nightmare.

I pity what he will have to shoulder.
