How NOT to respond to posts expressing extreme frustration and anger over the ruling reducing Trump's bond [View all]
A lot of people are making comments today borne of frustration and perfectly understandable anger. But responding to them with lectures on how they are hurting Biden or helping Trump is perhaps the least helpful way to respond, even if you believe that to be true.
Look, these posts are coming out of raw emotion. Many of the people who post them will cool down after they've had a chance to work through those emotions. People are entitled to their emotions, and are entitled to express them. We should all respect that. But to respond to posts expressing legitimate emotions with a kind of cool, detached rationality does nothing to help them process those emotions in a productive way. And in some cases, it may only serve to entrench them in their initial emotional response.
Just my two cents, but please consider refraining from the need to "correct" the people who are making these postings, at least until after they've had a reasonable opportunity to fully grapple with the emotions they are experiencing!
