Does anyone have tips on how to NOT get my emotions involved re: Trump?

12. I am in the same place

I honestly wish there were dem support/activity groups in my area because I need to physically connect with other like minded people. I'm talking about for instance, a Dem hiking or meditation group...not an actual political discussion group.
I'm surrounded by trumpster family and friends, and the biggest mind flip is coming to grips of how they could be on board
with him. It feels like a betrayal. I see them becoming more and more detached from empathy & emotion in order to support their leader. They are happily going along as if its the best time of their life. I assume they only watch FOX and think everything is going swimmingly well! It's seriously playing with my head.

I have to sometimes take long time outs from news/social media and let those strong enough to deal to pick up the slack. I was never one able to watch the news a lot pre-trump because I always found it stressful. I had to meter my dose of "news". We all need breaks though, because this is how authoritarians break you down...and we can't let that happen. In the long run, it's smart to take breaks.
