This is a long read, but an interesting one. It talks about the fear mongering towards Trump, debunking the claims against him, giving hope to the next 4 years, etc.


Stop making people suicidal. Stop telling people they’re going to be killed. Stop terrifying children. Stop giving racism free advertising. Stop trying to convince Americans that all the other Americans hate them. Stop. Stop. Stop.

He points out Trumps downsides too so it's not just a Trump fluff article. I found it to be a pretty good one.

that was a great read. I love how he points out how people were all focused on the wrong things.

I've been watching the facebook pages of some old lib friends to enjoy their suffering. Before the election and immediately after, their posts were massively doom and gloom, basically trump was the anti-christ, was going to start deporting and/or killing all minorities, was going to start a nuclear war, etc. The last few days, their posts are down to "trump picked someone we don't like for some cabinet post" or "trump went to dinner without the press"..... but still posted as if the latest news is still the end of the world.
