I need to this. For years I've avoided daily news, and now I just keep recting to everything that fool does. Gotta calm down and focus on me and mine and not him.

Whoever is going to run for president against the maga they better run now so they can make their rounds on the news outlets and tv hosts exposing truth on what whatshisface does every daggone week. Whatshisface is doing it. We need to counter
It is a fine line…..if we ignore what he does then we condone…..if we pay attention too much we get stressed out…..we need to all find our own way of dealing with this madness
This afternoon noon I was so upset, I closed out Bluesky and went and stewed, I’m back starting all over, maybe calmer, opened up a new account anyway, I’ll try to keep my profanity down. I’ll try.
I keep telling my wife to stop talking about his dirty dragnet. It effects my countenance, which in turn, effects my mood. I’m protesting without giving him space in my mind 24/7.
There are accounts of Nazi Germany for the average person that describe how there was always constant nationalist fanfare and stuff distracting people and keeping them busy. This is an extremely common tactic with these things.
I would gently counter argue that rage is good, rage is a tool if you know how to harness it. Rage makes you act, keeps you aware. You need to control the flow so it doesn’t mess you up, but I don’t buy the “rage is bad” narrative. I believe in Terry Pratchett’s Militant Decency.
I hear you, but in a population where high blood pressure and strokes take too many, too young, rage can kill us. It took me months to get my blood pressure down after the first trump win. I'm not letting that happen again, so if turning him off is what I have to do, it's what I have to do.
Totally get this. Obviously you hav to be healthy. Part of the trick for a lot of us is controlled rage, that whole idea is so it’s a motivation, but not something that kills us.
