There’s been this narrative for a while and there’s some good reasons for it. It’s different for different people, of course, and a lot has to do with how each of us deal with these emotions and situations. But something is happening in the US that makes these things feel 10 times worse for many people. Our psyches are being assaulted seemingly 24/7 by one man and the cult that surrounds him and we’re normalizing it. When I was younger I would never have imagined the American people would vote for a man like Donald Trump. I’ve heard the response of “just stop watching the news” or “don’t pay attention”, but that’s basically impossible. Yesterday I saw a man who is president of the United States on a national TV show yelling and screaming at his interviewer who rightly pointed out there is absolutely no evidence for his assertions where his only reply was vitriol. And examples like this can occur daily. I’d say for most people they feel the heavy weight of the pall cast over the US from this administration.
