But then I DO get depressed. Not because of the questions. Because I work with people who not only voted for Trump but support him, whatever that means. They don’t like to think about things they don’t understand, or even acknowledge that there are such things. So they make up a fairy tale and blame negroes. (God, I’m amusing.)
t, i work with people who literally get insulted by questions if they don’t know the answer. I was in denial for a good long time about the whole Trump thing and now everyone is getting resigned and I’m imploding. I saw an article on FB where a woman was lamenting the stats of how many really stupid people are out there. i work with most of ‘em.
they didn’t expect him to win either. like him, they had no idea what came next. like him, they feel cornered and guilty. they are not pleasant to be around. like him, their answer to everything is just more of the campaign type bleating. “The Wall?!” are you fucking kidding me? how is this relevant?
then you’ll hear something about how jobs are being stolen. you’ll hear this from people who are either employed or don’t want to be.
i use this as a sounding board because if i put it on FB they’ll see and get fidgety.

My fave is when people say that it really is fake news. “You can’t believe everything you hear on TV, they’re just hyping the Russian crap.”

John Cleese meme, when he’s exasperated by the idiocy brigade.
