The secret to surviving the Trump years with one's sanity intact...

[Rollo]

Keep your friends close.

Keep the mute button closer...

1. And remind yourself that this not normal and you are seeing reality clearly.

[Warpy]

2. And keep repeating "It's only a bad movie"

because even the worst movies eventually end and so will this one.

3. Mos def.

Mute is already my friend. It took me 6 years to get to that point with li'l bush. But I got there 4 months ago with dRumpfenfuhrer.

5. The mute button was especially helpful today...

When I turned on the TV in hopes of seeing some local news, and instead CBS had run over with more footage of Trumk waving his tiny hands about and pursing his pampered lips.

Luckily I had the remote handy and found the mute button before too many of my brain cells committed sepuku.

6. I never watch anything that's orange hitler, unfiltered.

But, when watching good shows where they give a little clip of his pronouncements, or him behind a podium, I hit the button immediately.

Good line about the brain cell sepuku prevention.

I recently became re-acquainted with gin smoothies.

10. Yes, I survived 8 years of GWB

one Daily Show clip at a time. We can get through 0-4 years of Trump in bite sized clips on Last Week Tonight and Full Frontal.

Also, learning how to garden, binge watching Star Trek and moving to another country helped.
