As humans we are at a bit of a disadvantage in this universe. Everything around us of import seems to have a much longer lifespan than our 75 years. So we evaluate things on a much smaller scale than a truly objective view would likely entail. We look at things in relation to a few years or maybe a generation (20 years) while geologic events are viewed in thousands of years, global ones in millions and cosmic ones in billions. In this instance we're evaluating the effects of a Presidency and culture shift on America ... and that likely would require a view over decades rather than a few months.

My point is step back. Separate yourself from it and get an objective viewpoint. The battle between liberalism and conservatism in our country is best viewed as a teeter-totter that overcompensates one way then another vice just staying balanced in the middle. View the balance instead of the extreme swings. Know that the factors that make it swing to the left or the right are the things that make us sweat it - but the balance will eventually come. The right's horrid acts will spur more activity from the left and they will rise up to overtake the right. Then they will swing it too far and the reverse will happen. And if it causes the country to change its' form then that is also the teeter-totter of yet another balance between democratic values and autocratic ones.

Gain a better perspective. Thats the true solution.

Here is your zen moment. Just breath. Still some beauty left on the third rock from the sun.

Volunteer and support a civic group that shares your ideals and philosophy. Put time into constructive engagements and be proactive in your community. Rage against the machine but do so without harming yourself or another.

Your instinct is correct, ration the media diet carefully. Find yourself some Melatonin, take as directed. He is the worst we have ever had and hopefully ever have.
Find the things you used to do that gave you the most satisfaction before all this crazy noise started. You are not alone in your concerns as well as symptoms.

Day of the Jackal

How dare you insult insane people everwhere.

I have an adult bev or 2 prior to bed..

And no one of the symptoms you describe affects him the least.

Work towards bringing other voters to their senses and hope that Mueller finds the smoking gun.

I'm letting the situation motivate me to make my best effort to help the world become a better place the way I want to see it. See what way you can work towards this.
