[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I refuse to let the next 4 years of president Trump and the chaos he brings affect me mentally the way it did 2016-2020. My plan now is to just sit back and watch (sometimes with popcorn) - at least when I feel like tuning in. Since this is a DC based board I assume many of you, like me, understand and have concerns about the democratic norms he upends and the disruption he brings and you do not take our system of government for granted. But at this point it seems the American people - or about half of them - want this disruption.

My state of mind is to focus on what is right in front of me - family, friends and local community. I will watch with detached interest what public administration reforms, to put it lightly, these next 4 years will bring. What I won't do is freak out, get upset, or worry about every outrageous thing he says or does because in a way that is what drives his power. Plus, I don't want to.

My sense is that there are many who feel the same way.  What will be interesting is the MAGA troll response. The owning the libs thing is really 2020 and many have just moved on. It’s like MAGA is almost angry that Trump won and got all of congress. It will be difficult for them with no one to blame and with a lot fewer people throwing themselves into the breach.

For example, if he does another Muslim ban, I doubt people will turn out to the airports to protest and vocally stand up for the rights of Muslim Americans. Same if there’s another pandemic from China, the anti-Asian hate will not garner as much sympathy. [/quote]

^^^ one reason that's likely true is that a lot of the social media froth comes from Russian troll farms. They are going to keep spewing hate, but given that Trump the election and already has the SC, the American MAGAs are satisfied even if their Russian puppetmasters are still itching for a fight.[/quote]
