bursting into tears. I have a feeling these feelings are widespread.

One thing I suggest is listening to Progressive Radio if you have SiriusXM or any local AM stations that play it (or listening online). Those programs are mostly positive and ridiculing the convention and it's a way to escape the madness of the RNC coverage and listen to like minded people.

It's rough. I told my sister, "I am just focused on getting through the next six months."
