Trump is my anxiety's worst nightmare from a personality standpoint alone. [View all]

I remember last year when all of those mass killings were happening seemingly all at once -Orlando, Paris, Dhaka, and others- I was so anxious it was hard for me to go to the grocery store without jumping at every sound. I recall Obama coming on the TV to do a press conference about it all while I was in a cafeteria and thinking that his calm demeanor and the fact that he, you know, knew stuff made me instantly feel more at ease and safe. There's nothing Trump could do that could make me feel reassured we're gonna be okay...he just inspires more fear and anxiety the moment he enters a room, let alone opens his mouth. The only nights since inauguration where I've gone to bed actually relaxed were the nights when a bunch of news stories dropped and it was looking like he really was about to be forced to leave the office. I don't want 4 years of this. Why do so many want this as their leader?

This might sound like fragile snowflake stuff, but when you struggle with intense anxiety, having your country in the hands of someone steady and competent makes a world of difference.
