Darling, turn off the news!
Why? We need to know what is going on in the country
But it’s horrible to hear the things that man says to people and about people with no clear truth or evidence. Why is he so mean?
It’s like other presidents have said in the past, “The granites and schists of my dark and stubborn country” will prevail in the news because that is what news is made from.
But it’s so negative!
Yes, but unfortunately, that is the world we are now living in. There will be someone who comes along and changes it, there has to be, but we all have to sit back and wait for it to happen.
I don’t know if I can continue to listen to it. I almost think it would be better to not know anything; it seems much safer.

Love the candor, it’s refreshing … I have infinite patience and will wait for the tide to turn ~ because it will!! In the meantime, I try not to engage with all the negative folks out there. Nice writing!!!!!

Thank you! I have always had tons of patience. Lately, I’ve been really tired which makes it less but I just have to consciously calm my mind when I start getting impatient or annoyed.

The last line rings true. Expressing an opinion means having people jump at you with accusations.

When it’s now made clear that efforts will be made to intervene in democracies elsewhere, not in authotarian states, it means also an attack on everyone dissagreeing…. we will try to resist but I’m not sure how we can work against the massive propaganda from all direction.

See that’s what I think too. I mean it’s great that people are banding together to make sure equality exists, etc. but who really has any power over it? The billionaires?

I can hear a conversation like this taking place all over the country and the world at-large. I don’t know if sitting back and letting it work itself out is the best course of action, but it may be all some are up to doing.

I agree but I frustratingly want to know what else can regular citizens do? It seems like our voice doesn’t really matter

I figure I will just have to start using more of the online doctor clinics if my healthcare goes way up. Things are declining for him. And the way he is screwing with Venezuela, we might be rid of him sooner than we think. Stupid idiot.

I think you’re right. But every time we seem to take a positive step something gets out that makes Trump not such an ass. How do people still like him?

That is baffling, but his followers feel that he will fix anything because that is what he tells them he is doing.

An interesting take on the prompt, Christine.
Self-care is important, but I believe it’s our duty to pay attention. Too many did not, and now we’re in this mess.
