I don't think I agree with your sentiment. It's not hysteria. It's just waking up slightly from your slumber. American politics is in dire need of course correction and has been for some time. The way it is going sooner or later the masses will elect an actual dictator to run the country, because the various chilling effects on activism and the lack of reform and looking out for the needs of the public. If anything the hysteria against Trump is a warning sign. As was electing Trump in the first place. It means politics is not working, and course correction in politics is not working as well.

Waking up from a slumber and then panicking and launching protests about most of the things you see sounds a bit like hysteria to me. The world turned before you woke up, it'll turn after you go to sleep. >If anything the hysteria against Trump is a warning sign I would tend to believe you if the country hadn't been gripped in a similar hysteria a few years ago under George W. Bush's presidency. Seems many people on the left were convinced he was going to declare martial law and that Cheney was his vice president as insurance against assassination. People said the same things they say now, like how a racist, or a fascist, or an actual Nazi is now in the White House. It was hysterical then, it's hysterical now. The problem with the hysteria is that when there's actually a threat, no one will listen because every time a Republican gets elected, anyone who leans a little bit liberal starts shouting "Nazi," and people are sick of it.
