[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.

Don’t care

Do care that you become and informed, productive citizen. Otherwise why be here, relocate to another country .[/quote]
DP. Our nation and the wider world have a lot of problems and the US electorate chose someone who has no understanding of them and no solutions. Worse still, he’ll create more new problems that won’t be fixed easily by the next administration. I’m looking away.

I have vigilance/outrage fatigue. I’m not paying attention to Trump. This website and Instagram are all I’m visiting, and on Instagram I just look at cute dogs. I have not consumed any news (broadcast or print) since election night. I’m done.

I thought I’d be devastated emotionally if Trump won. I’ve been pleasantly surprised. I don’t really feel anything. I’ve checked out emotionally. I’m uninformed about what he’s doing right now and I don’t feel bad about it.

I don’t have citizenship in any other country and no real way to obtain gainful employment elsewhere, so I’m not going anywhere. [/quote]
