Trump is unlike any president we’ve had before and crying is hardly an overreaction. Many government organizations are losing funding and leadership. We might lose our access to healthcare. A number of Trump's new hires were chosen to dismantle or loot their respective branches. There's a non-zero chance we'll get into a nuclear exchange with North Korea. The White House routinely issues statements supporting police overreach and denying domestic terrorism. Climate change is outright mocked. Our traditional alliances are in shambles, even among our neighbors. The only thing tempering Trump's authoritarian impulses is seemingly the fact that the Republican Party is in total disarray. And to top it all off, the man spews abhorrent, childish garbage almost daily on Twitter. Our fucking president!
All this was easily predictable before the election. How is this flaming pile of garbage not worth crying about? Are you seriously suggesting that any of this is normal?
- MichaelGG 9y agoI think crying and screaming, saying "women will be killed now" and "I might as well give up [on my PhD] because this is the end" is an overreaction, yes. I don't think many people cried and were ever-so-distraught because of climate change being mocked, or Trump's twitter. No, they bought into the whole "literal Hitler" nonsense, and truthfully thought we'd have violence all over, like Right Wing Death Squads.
