[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

Thoughts?[/quote]

Sitting back is not an effective way to get what you want.  I would start to take a look at 2026 and see if there are seats in Congress that can be flipped.  How do we get a winning coalition to get out and vote?[/quote]

This. But, yes I agree that even in DCUM the trolls hate when you say “okay” because they want a reaction, so let’s not give the soon to be felon-in-chief our attention. Hopefully the media will get this message. [/quote]

The irony is that the media helped usher Trump back in because he's so good for clicks and eyeballs, and here we all are checking out. It feels good to retire from all this. [/quote]

Agree. But give them fewer eyeballs. Apple News is excellent for this. Dropped NYT and the Post. Rolling Stone has great political coverage.[/quote]

Have done the same. BBC is pretty good for less breathy news. [/quote]
