How are you going to pass the time during Trump’s new era

Watch Rome burn and all that.

No being a total slut option?

I'll go with porn.

Keep telling myself that at my age four years pass very quickly.

I'm checking out. It's been real, folks.

I blocked all the politics threads. I've unsubscribed for all the political youtube channels I was subscribed to. No more cable news. I'm no longer going to concern myself with women's reproductive rights, immigrants, all of it. I'm 68 years old and have spent 54 of them involved in politics, but no longer. If the rest of the country can't vote in what I believed was in their best interests, then why should I care. I'm blocking all the DL political threads. If you come at me with how I shouldn't get discouraged, or hang in there, I'm going to block you. I'm sticking to traveling, reading, watching TV, and cooking. I'm done.

I don’t blame you, r7. You sound like I feel. I’m not even American, but I don’t think I can bear to look at what 4 year of unrestricted Trumpian power will do to the country and the world. He’s genuinely unspeakable and so are the nutjobs surrounding him. He will fill his family’s coffers and seek revenge for the pettiest of slights. 4 year of Ivanka, Slenderman, Lurch, Uday and Qusay. 4 years of insults lobbed at any journalist who dares to ask a normal question. A 4 year-long illustration of the fact that ego, evil, vulgarity and lies can win you the greatest of prizes.

Ukraine disarmed and handed to Putin. I blame Europe’s leaders for that last one though: they thought the US would defend us in return for our willingness to follow America’s leadership militarily and diplomatically. Those illusions are now in ashes. Europe must stand on its own 2 feet, or it will fall.

There seems so little any of us can do at the moment. I hope America is revived in some way, but who knows? I’ll choose to look away from the corpse. I’m deleting Twitter and cancelling Amazon. I’ll read and I’ll watch stupid TV and try to exercise, and look away every time America’s chosen president bellows his latest demented cruelties from a TV screen.
