21. How does it harm morale?

If you’re not worried, then you’re not worried, right? Or is your confidence so shaky that an anxiety laden post can cause you to falter? Makes no sense.

Many have 2016 hangovers. We all know many factors are different now, but we also know the resident is a crook, his family are crooks, his closest staff are crooks, his attorney general is a crook. Not to mention he’s Putin’s puppet. All plenty of reason for people to feel anxiety.

If I see posts I don’t like, I skim on by, but I see nothing wrong with people expressing their worries here.

If worried posters harm your morale, perhaps you’re not feeling as confident as you say. I’m quite optimistic, but I’m not counting any chickens just yet.
