It's getting tougher every day to read the new list of Trumpian bullshit.

But, the first thing I do every day is click on DU. Then the other social media I also trust.

As the meme goes, "The horrors persist, but so do I"

1. It's nightmarish. I keep thinking I'll wake up and it'll all be over. I can't take four more years of this shit.

7. Right now all I can do is read the headlines and I am not watching any news on TV

When I read an article it makes me want to throw up. When the media presents "both sides" I just want to throw something.

I'm not burying my head in the sand....I just can't be upset every day, all day.

The headlines are bad enough. As spring arrives I can hopefully get outside more, but right now I have a strong urge to hibernate.

I can't stop watching MSNBC when I'm home. It's like having to look at a car wreck on the side of the road. I can't take my eyes off it. I even sneak it at work. I must know what fresh hell awaits us at every turn.

I can't believe how quickly our democracy is being destroyed, and much of it is permitted to happen. The end of this fetid regime can't come soon enough.

on the details. No need. Better for my mental health that way. And nothing they does makes sense anyway, except as a slow-moving coup agains the US government.

I just cannot laugh about it, although there is much truth in them.
