but I am trying to mitigate it.
I don't follow the News intensely. I just keep abreast of what is going on without deep dives.
I have decided that we should expect the worse from Trump in every situation.
So rather than get mad I just say, of course he did.
I am trying to do things that are good for me.
I have already made the judgement that the country is gone, that there is little I can do about it, and I will save myself and my family first.
Resignation rather than rage.
