Donald Trump... *weary sigh*
Aug. 24th, 2019 12:21 pmSaw this, posted by Dan Rather on Facebook: "I yearn for a world, or even a weekend morning, where a friend or family member asking 'did you hear' doesn’t immediately produce a pit in the stomach and the mental image of Donald Trump rage tweeting chaos and incoherence."
I shared that post with an addition of my own: "This. So very much this."
Then I left a couple of comments under my own post of this: "I googled, literally, 'what dumbfuckery has Trump done now' and this was the top result: https://www.politico.com/story/2019/08/23/times-trump-tweeted-hereby-1474073 Don't know if that is what Mr. Rather is referring to, of course. SCROTUS Trump engages in so much dumbfuckery that it's difficult to keep track, after all. And I'm sure in a day or so that will have been replaced by some other bit of Trumpish dumbfuckery."
And this: "For future reference: https://www.google.com/search?q=what%20dumbfuckery%20has%20trump%20done%20now "
Yeah... I am so beyond sick and tired of Trump... it's crazy and depressing.
In fact, I wrote a slightly more than two page long entry into my pencil-and-paper journal last night (partially in response to this, though I didn't specifically mention that in my journal) which I will transcribe here, in its entirety (though I'll be considerate and add in paragraph breaks that don't actually exist in the original writing):
( Behind cut for length and for sheer spiteful vitriolic hatred )
Yeah... that's not very "Mister Rogers"-ly of me, but I don't really give a shit. I'm not Mister Rogers, after all. I'm just some random guy on the Internet. *sigh*
At any rate, after I wrote that, I felt much better, from a catharsis standpoint. At least until later today, when I checked Facebook and saw Mr. Rather's post to which I linked up there, and the follow-up Google search just got me pissed off at Trump all over again. But now, after transcribing that journal entry to here, I feel the catharsis again, at least for now. I'm sure it'll all drain away and the rage and hatred will seep back in again as soon as I see whatever the next dumbfuck thing Trump has done.
That's why, lately, I've been trying to straight up avoid anything related to Trump. I've been repeatedly 30-day snoozing on Facebook pages like George Takei and Snopes (hmm, maybe I should add Dan Rather to that list) and even a couple of the people on my actual f-list, due to the daily doses of Trump I was getting from them and elsewhere. I hate the fact that Trump has forced me to feel the need to do this, which just makes me hate Trump himself all the more. (And I wouldn't be surprised or dismayed if other people have done the very same to me for the very same reasons. I could absolutely understand that. It's just not healthy to be bombarded with Trumpish dumbfuckery on a daily basis.) It's why I abandoned Twitter entirely, after all. (Well, almost.) It's all very difficult to avoid, though, as I sometimes see it in the most unexpected places.
To reiterate once more: to absolute hell with Donald Trump, forever.
