Anger and depression are, for me, very different. When I’m truly depressed, I don’t care enough to be angry. I think some amount of anger is healthy in the age of Trump, if channeled into action.

Gotta say, it’s hard to imagine a male candidate going this HAM this effectively at this.

I’m looking forward to Liz criticizing Klob for her rampant employee harassment.
A President Bloomberg could more plausibly be removed from office by the senate.

I gave Chris’ post a like, but I only wanted to give it about a 7/10.

Since this has been turned into the mental health consequences of EDem and Trump I will share what I have been dealing with. I wake up every night in the middle of the night and either think I’m dying or have died, my dog is dead because I have rolled over on it or something has gotten it, or someone I know is dead that I am with in my house and I wake up in a frantic mode to try and save myself or whoever else is the subject of this. And the scene of my semi-dream is my actual bedroom every time. My wife wakes me up outside my bed doing something insane asking me what the hell it is this time almost every night
I am 100% sure it is due to anxiety from both the state of my life and the state of the world. It’s horrible and I’m tired of it. I’m almost 40 and this has almost exclusively been in the last 2-3 years of my life so I can only assume it is due to living in this waking nightmare.

This is what happened to me, late into my 30’s and I never got it treated for another few years when it got worse.
I suggest also that’s its anxiety and slight depression which can lead to severe depression and anxiety attacks.
Seek some professional help brother and I suggest that you do not smoke sativa strains as they can induce the anxiety even more or it did for me.
When you realise that your having a panic attack, go outside and sit down to do breathing exercises that help to calm your heart.

Also another great way to have a lil mental reset and get away from it all is camping. Basically completely unplugged from the digital world. I do this every couple of months with some friends. Sometimes we go out into the desert to a festival type party thats kinda like my lil community of hippies and drop acid and listen to music. Sometimes we just go camp though and its super refreshing.

2nd term Trump will be Trump on steroids.
RBG will probably be replaced by Jeanine Pirro or Hannity. He will keep wading his way into worse and worse cabinet members.
Remember when we thought there couldn’t possibly be a worse AG than Sessions? Imagine where another few steps down the ladder beyond Barr puts us.
He is already running all but the most loyal stooges out of government and the gop. That will continue through the intelligence community, through the FBI, through the military, through the judiciary.
Bloomberg will never have the cult following of either side in Congress that allows Trump to run roughshod.
Basically, gtfo with Bloomberg will be worse than a second term of Trump.
Don’t get confused, Bloomberg is awful. A Trump second term is infinitely worse.

I love Matt Christman but Trump > Bloomer is absolute insanity.

Yeah I’m willing to accept a game theory reason for going Trump over Bloomberg, but I’m not sure this an iterative game. We might not get to make a choice again in our lifetimes.

You should definitely go see a mental health professional.

Those are pretty classic PTSD symptoms. Are you seeing anyone?

Also Bloomberg still much worse than Trump, both as a person and as a potential president.
Sounds like sleep paralysis. This happened alot to me when I was younger; way before I was older and dealing with depression and anxiety.
Smoking some weed right before bed could help. I have crazy, lucid dreams when Im sober. Hardly dream at all when Im smoking every day.

This is a common withdrawal symptom btw, it can persist for a couple months.
I don’t discuss politics with my mother. But, she was just talking to my daughter and … she likes some things about Bloomberg, that he was able to run the biggest city in America, but doesn’t like that he brags about having all the money.
Rebuttal: Rudy ran the biggest city in America!
