7. I also grew up in the 50s and 60s and I worry that withTrump we have become thrill junkies

or maybe outrage junkies.

The 60s were volatile and I was part of the news (Democratic convention in 1968) and these time affected me personally (avoiding the draft) but for much of the time I was tuned out and not watching television or listening to the news. So I don't know how the relative dullness felt in the mid 70s.

Will we be slightly disappointed each day not having this madman to entertain/outrage/puzzle/anger us several times a day?

I know we'll all be relieved, but will a part of us subconsciously miss the sense of national involvement? Will we miss not being part of a special (if precarious) time in the nation's life?
